When she rides the hedge she often meets Spirits, both kindly and malevolent. Ms Moss describes herself as “a Cottage or Hedge Witch is one who lives on the borders of this world and the Otherworld. It’s also a good idea to have an idea of where you’ll be headed once you begin. Information about the required magical tools and incenses is to be found at the end of the book. Altar recommendations occur in a number of points in the text. I would also recommend that readers study the book from cover to cover before embarking on their own journey. You need to be able to create a sacred space, an altar, consecrate tools, compound incenses, and safely invoke a goddess for meditation and magical workings. I consider Pagan Portals – Hekate to be an intermediate level text, as it presupposes a fair amount of basic knowledge. This is not surprising, as working with a goddess invariably leads to channeled information, as would happen in any other relationship. Ms Moss’ path is one of devotion and she sees her as a combination of traditional representations and those channeled through UPG (unverified personal gnosis). There are also numerous ways of honoring her. Some of these appearances are in keeping with ancient writings, while others are modern representations. Hekate is a very popular goddess in the pagan community, who appears in different ways to different people.
