A page from my witches grimore or spellbook. Here is the goddess Hecate who is described in greek legend as being the patron of crossroads and hound dogs. She was the goddess of wealth and magical powers.She is also said to be one of Hades sisters.

A wonderful way to portray an amazing deity. I do love how she's spinning that knots with her delicate yet powerful fingers. In three she cometh.

:-) Erika Schulz replies: "Thank you. It was a challenge remembering where all those lines went."

Very Beautiful. May I ask what you made this grimore for...? And the spells don't reall work....right?

:-) Erika Schulz replies: "I'm just making it for me. I have a handmade book I will start filling will spells eventually. This piece was originally done for an exhibition I had around Halloween last year. Most of the spells I have are from ancient sources so they were actually used by cultures past. Of course there a lot of rituals and actions that acompany the words, so saying the words alone probably wouldn't do much. Thanks for your interest."

I appreciate all of your work, as I've stated, but this one really resonates for me. I've always enjoyed the personae that the classical world attributed to Hecate and Circe. The red lantern project also seems promising: you must be so excited! Please get in touch with me soon, ( I'm easier to reach by e-mail! )

:-) Erika Schulz replies: "Thanks so much Amanda. I will definately be getting in touch with you soon. Thanks also for signing my guestbook at my gallery exhibit. I really appreciated it."
