The Order of Hekate is (for now) a group of individuals devoted to or interested in the goddess Hekate. We gather casually to discuss her mythos along with other topics related to Hellenic polytheist worship. In addition, we'll gather occasionally at the sacred times to give cultus to Hekate in the form of ceremony and the communal breaking of bread. The Order is affiliated with the larger organization "The Firefly House," a pan-Pagan organization in the DC area.
