Subject: Hekate

Title (working) Lady of the Hounds

Submissions open: 1 Nov 2008

Submissions close: 30 May, 2009

Submissions accepted:

Prose, Poetry, Ritual...

This volume will seek to honour and explore the concept and person of Hekate, from earliest origins to the present day. There is a very great deal of information about Hekate available today –on the web, in various publications.

This volume does not seek to collate that information.

Rather, it seeks to bring something new to it.

To wit:

Sound, scholarly work on Hekate, as seen, understood and known by the Greeks.

Sound, scholarly work on Hekate in the present day, and all times in between.

Devotional work – prose and poetry.

Scholarly need not mean academic – it need not be festooned with footnotes (though these are welcomed). However, it does mean original (works which are not simply a rehash of a thousand self-referential web pages), it means based on sources that do not all rely each upon the other.

Nor does “scholarly” mean that personal view points are not welcome – scholars, too, have opinions and relationships with deity.

Submissions are welcomed from established authors and those who have never published before.

All submissions will be acknowledged. All submissions will be considered. Not all submissions may be published; editors may correspond with authors over submissions before final agreement is reached.

Length for articles: from 1500 to 3000 words (if longer or shorter, contact the editor).

Submissions should be sent by email only to: diotimasph@googlemail.com

bumping this- the deadline has just been extended to July 30th


Em Hotep,

Although we’ve received some great contributions for the Hekate
devotional, we currently do not have enough for a full book. So we are
going to extend the deadline until July 30, 2009.

We can use essays, poetry, accounts of personal experiences, and other
forms of devotional writing. We would like this anthology to reflect
the diversity of ways that the goddess has been understood and
experienced both in antiquity and in contemporary times, so the more
contributions we receive the better!

As with all of our devotional anthologies we cannot provide payment or
contributor copies, since the proceeds will be used for charitable
donations and to help bring out further volumes in the Bibliotheca
Alexandrina line. For more information on our Guidelines and Policies,
please visit this page:

If you have any further questions, you may contact the editor at
sannion@gmail.com. This is also the address where submissions should
be sent.

Please feel free to distribute this announcement to other lists,
forums, and curious individuals. The more people who know about this
the better chance we’ll have of producing a truly awesome book worthy
of Hekate.
