This post is part of a blog challenge series, 30 days of Devotion, to Hekate. \u00a0Day 13 and we are looking at what, if any, modern cultural issues are relevant to Hekate and Her cultus.<\/p>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

I have decided to, on a whim, merge this with what would have been day 18 which asks, How does this deity stand in terms of gender and sexuality, both historical and UPG. \u00a0Why? Because that is a modern issue so I am unsure as to why it is separated. \u00a0To separate it means I either cannot discuss gender and sexuality in this post, or I need to discuss it twice \u2013 and neither option is satisfactory to me.<\/p>\n

Even merging the two together, I am finding this the hardest of topics. \u00a0Modern issues often have little in the way of historical precedence \u2013 so that\u2019s of little help. \u00a0And when it comes to modern issues that are close to our hearts, sometimes it can be hard to tell what is my feeling that I am projecting onto the Gods, and what the Gods are projecting on to me.<\/p>\n

Animals<\/h2>\n

Despite the whole dog (and other animals) sacrifice thing, and Her Artemisian role as a huntress, there is some historical precedence that shows Hekate is perhaps a bit of an animal activist. \u00a0A surprising amount of ancient philosophers who wrote about Hekate were vegetarians and proposed that the Gods, including Hekate, preferred non-meat offerings. \u00a0Many of these vegetarian philosophers were, or are thought to have been, devotees of Hekate.<\/p>\n

Today as well, many Devotees of Hekate speak of the pull towards, if not animal activism, a care of animals \u2013 especially animals in need. \u00a0Thus it is that many are wont to adopt rescue animals or look after stray animals. \u00a0I myself do similar, taking care of orphaned bunnies until they were able to be released into the wild, taking in a cat who turned up on my doorstep and decided to live with me for a year, taking care of a duck who had injured its wing for a few days.<\/p>\n

Charity<\/h2>\n

I can\u2019t speak to this as being strictly historical as it mostly arises from a particular quote about Hekate that is maybe misinterpreted, maybe not.<\/p>\n

\u201cAsk Hekate whether it is better to be rich or starving; she will tell you that the rich send her a meal every month [deipnon] and that the poor make it disappear before it is even served.\u201d \u2013 Aristophanes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Some take this to mean that the offering of Hekates Supper is in fact meant to be a charitable act to feed those in need. \u00a0Others disagree and think that the starving and poor took great risk in stealing Her food \u2013 or perhaps they are simply allowed to do so by Hekate, but it still doesn\u2019t mean we choose who gets the offering.<\/p>\n

Either way, it\u2019s a modern thought now that charitable acts, especially during the Deipnon, are a devotional act to Hekate. \u00a0Which, since this can be considered SPG, makes Hekate a deity concerned with charity. \u00a0But it\u2019s not for everyone \u2013 in relation to Hekate \u2013 so it\u2019s okay if you don\u2019t connect the two. \u00a0I still recommend being charitable where possible though.<\/p>\n

Sexuality and Gender<\/h2>\n

There really isn\u2019t much to go on historically. \u00a0She had some eunuch priests, but that doesn\u2019t tell us much really, especially since we don\u2019t know why they were eunuchs.<\/p>\n

Honestly, I don\u2019t feel She really cares. By which I mean She doesn\u2019t care what or who you are. \u00a0I think She is more concerned with people making choices and realising truths \u2013 so in that I think She would be supportive of people coming out as trans or gay or whatever, because in this you make a choice to be who you are.<\/p>\n

That said, as a liminal deity, it is possible She has a bit of a connection with trans people who could themselves be considered liminal \u2013 they are neither what they were nor what they want to be, they are somewhere in the middle, transitional and of two worlds.<\/p>\n

The very movements themselves, trans rights movements and indeed all LGBTQIA+ movements might concern Her because the movements are liminal and transitional as well. \u00a0They are movements that are reshaping our world, pulling our societies from one place and into the next. \u00a0But we aren\u2019t there yet, we are still in the transitional phases and as such, this would likely mean something to Hekate.<\/p>\n

Feminism<\/h2>\n

Maybe, kind of. \u00a0Hekate is a maiden, but perhaps not in the virginal sense. \u00a0In this She is an independent woman, She has no need of men even if She does work with Them at times. \u00a0She is an\u00a0example of what most ancient Hellenic women were not \u2013 walking around alone, including at night, unmarried, doing things for Herself. \u00a0She is a leader and She is the one who protects \u2013 roles usually of men, especially in ancient views.<\/p>\n

In the modern sense, SPG, we can look at Hekate as the Triple Goddess and Crone to see another role She plays in womens rights. \u00a0The Crone is, from what I can tell, a modern womans way of getting rid of certain female stereotypes \u2013 that once we lose the ability to bear children we become useless. \u00a0The Crone shows that being old and barren is not a bad thing, indeed it is something to aspire to. \u00a0So Hekate as SPG Crone does play a role in feminism.<\/p>\n

As the Triple Goddess, the one where She is Maiden, Mother and Crone, or when She is simply The Goddess (as She is to some people) She plays a similar role in feminism. \u00a0Empowering and strong. \u00a0But, we also know there are certain limiting things about the MMC idea that are not good for feminism. \u00a0So, it\u2019s a hard one.<\/p>\n

As an Artemisian huntress She perhaps shows another way in which She has a role in feminism. \u00a0The huntress is a masculine sort of female really. \u00a0She is the strong and independent woman who can do all those things only men should be able to do according to stereotyping.<\/p>\n

So, I think Hekate plays a big role in feminism, whether She wants to or not.<\/p>\n
