Just for a bit of fun ... Another TV show from that time -- "Ace of Wands" ... watch (can you imagine what some people would say if a TV show featured a pentacle in the opening credits?) and listen to the theme song! It is so sad that the first two seasons were wiped from the BBC master tapes -- I have to wonder if such a TV show would do well today?
I'm a woman, a Witch, a mother, a grandmother, an eco-feminist, a gardener, a reader, a writer, and a priestess of the Great Mother Earth. Hecate appears in the
Homeric Ode to Demeter, which tells of Hades who caught Persophone
"up reluctant on his golden car and bare her away lamenting. . . . But no one, either of the deathless gods or of mortal men, heard her voice, nor yet the olive-trees bearing rich fruit: only tenderhearted Hecate, bright-coiffed, the daughter of Persaeus, heard the girl from her cave . . . ."
