The Goddess House: Previous Events held at The Goddess House

Hekate Ritual and Feast

Hekate Ritual and Feast

The first of such events was held in 2009 where some 16 people attended The Goddess House to pay tribute to the pre-Greek Goddess of the Crossroads, Hekate through .

During the ritual, attendees laid offerings upon the altar and light a candle in honour of one of the many different aspects of this often misinterpreted Goddess. A journey with the Goddess was then undertaken. At the conclusion of the sacred ritual, participants then enjoyed a lavish Greek inspired feast.

The Dark Goddess

Encountering the Dark Goddesses

Since its conception in 2006, The Goddess House has hosted a variety of versions of this workshop allowing for a wide range of different guises of the Dark Goddess to be explored through the mediums of ritual, myth and meditation.

Some of these Goddesses have included:

Persephone (Greek Queen of the Underworld),

Sekhmet (Egyptian Goddess of destruction),

Kali (Hindu dark Mother who created time, the Sanskrit alphabet and the Universe which she nearly destroyed),

Hekate (pre-Greek Goddess of the Crossroads),

Pele (Hawaiian Goddess of volcanoes and destruction),

Oya (African Goddess of storms and winds),

Cerridwen (Celtic keeper of the Cauldron of Knowledge), and

Baba Yaga (the Slavic Crone of initiation).

It is with much delight to announce that Frances Billinghurst, the facilitator of these popular workshops, will be releasing her long awaited book on the

Dark Goddess later in 2015.

Homage to Hathor
