Meaning either "In the Streets" or "of the ways" or both and neither. <br /><br />I hesitate to call the female spirit I work with "Hecate"... because "Enodia" connects more in my head, and I'm deftly avoiding any discussion of Greco-Roman reconstruction.<br /><br />"Enodia" clearly links to this spirit in my head, without any expectations. She is "Of the ways" - and - "in the streets".<br />I've also found accounts of Hecate being titled "Of The Gate", "Of the Underworld", "She who observes", "Keyholder"... etc. All of these titles suit the being I'm speaking of... and yet... I still hesitate to use the "H-word".<br /><br />Of course, when you get into it, Artemis Enodia is connected to the Etruscan Artume, who is a "Goddess of night, the moon, the wild woods and death" - which doesn't remind me of Artemis so much as the "Enodia" of which I speak. Who also reminds me of the "Aradia" of the Strega.<br /><br />Which also all ties up in how myself and a few other occultists have had experiences suggesting "Hecate" has, in her "faithful retinue" other beings which are very much like her, but perhaps the ones she delegates to. I imagine a classical goddess like herself gets a lot of petitions, and has to spread the workload.<br /><br />Suffice it to say - sticky wicket of ideas and shifting shapes.Scyllahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03822031765851992717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1208084550257016582.post-52843307874376682132011-01-23T07:02:45.459-06:002011-01-23T07:02:45.459-06:00I was not familiar with this deity before reading ...I was not familiar with this deity before reading your post.
