Keeping Her Keys: At The Crossroads of Modern Life and the Deeper World
Religion & Spirituality:Spirituality
I've been wanting to do an episode on gender and queerness for ages. Hekate provides a safe space for exploring gender and queerness, providing comfort and security for this amazing conversation between me and the fabulous Coyote Mae. Personally, hanging out with Coyote Mae is always healing for me, and I believe you'll concur after this episode.
Hekate's long history clearly indicates that, as a Goddess of crossroads, she is especially present for those of us who explore our personal intersections, in this case our gender identities and orientations. Additionally, Hekate's governance over our personal journeys, in her role as Enodia, illuminates our unique journey. Hekate offers the key of reclaiming space from oppressive heteronormative, white male driven dominance.
Our discussion touches on topics such as mainstream Christianity, Catholicism's idealized view of Mary, the power of "dark goddesses," Jung's concept of anima and animus, the use of symbols such as the chalice and blade, CIS gendered men and the sacred feminine, and ancient goddesses defying gender expectations. Finding joy and being authentic however we identify deserves self-compassion and respect for others, along with honoring Hekate.
"Heteronormativity and traditional gender roles lurk everywhere in our individual psyches and in societal beliefs. Romantic love and sex are entwined with these biases and beliefs." - from Chapter 11: Paionios (The Healer) in Entering Hekate's Cave
Take good care of yourself,
And Hail Hekate, Goddess of Crossroads, The Journey, and The Marginalized.
