Keeping Her Keys Quotes

“The only rule of witchcraft that really matters is “know thyself.” Through knowing what’s going on inside of us, we can learn to manage these things and then apply these skills to the way we manipulate external energetic forces. Sounds so simple, but in practice it’s loads of work. Totally worth it, though. A simple self check-in practice consisting of regularly pausing for a few moments before beginning any new activity helps. Ask yourself: • How am I feeling? Am I hungry? Tired? In pain? • What am I thinking? Are my thoughts swirling? • What do I need to accomplish this next activity? • Is this in my own best interest? If not, how I can make it so?”

“Witchcraft is ultimately about claiming our personal power and standing firmly in it.”
― Cyndi Brannen, Keeping Her Keys: An Introduction to Hekate's Modern Witchcraft

“Hekate cannot do for us what She can’t do through us. Modern Hekatean Witchcraft reflects this motto. We seek to be better people, make wise decisions, and ask for her guidance rather than sit on our hands and expect Her to do the work for us.”
