why here, why now?
We believe that Hekate’s role as a Guardian of Thresholds is what has called her forth so powerfully in our modern era. We, the human race, are poised at the precipice of monumental change: environmentally, socially, politically, and spiritually. We are at a cosmic threshold of circumstance and consequence unlike any we have known in recorded history. At this pivotal moment in humanity’s story, the Crossroads Goddess Temple offers a sanctuary for community, hope, and transformation.
A very wise woman said, “There is no light at the end of the tunnel, except the torch you carry there.”
May her torches light our way, may her wisdom guide us, and may her Saffron Cloak wrap us eternally in Magic.
MISSION
The Crossroads Goddess Temple honors Hekate as Guardian, Guide, and Initiatrix—She who stands at the threshold, opening the way to realms of devotion, discovery, and transformation. Our mission is to provide a sacred space for community, learning, magic, and inspiration, by exploring the interconnected goddess traditions of the Mediterranean and its neighboring lands.
vision
Our vision is to cultivate a living crossroads of emerging wisdom and spiritual exploration—a temple illuminated by Hekate’s torches as she leads seekers through the thresholds of mystery, change, and gnosis.
Hekate is a cosmopolitan goddess, known, respected, and loved by diverse peoples and traditions. This is true of her heyday in the ancient world and even more so today. It is our belief that she encourages the study, devotion, and practice of all wisdom-seeking spiritual paths grounded in respect for the sovereignty of the natural world. In this Temple we strive to maintain a balance between ancestral traditions and cross-cultural exchange, nourished by mutual respect, stewardship, and inclusivity. Hekate knows no borders; she speaks all languages. She is the heart of the Mystery.
The Crossroads Goddess Temple aims to build an authentic community where the many faces of the goddess may be explored, celebrated, and brought to life in embodied practice. As the temple grows, it will become a sanctuary for devotion, sacred scholarship, creativity, and transformation, weaving diverse traditions into a path inspired by the ever-unfurling possibilities of the crossroads. We envision this Temple growing from its birth as a virtual space, traveling to different locations for pop-up events, classes and ceremonies, and eventually finding a seasonal or permanent home in the landscape.
Like Hekate herself, the Crossroads Goddess Temple stands at the threshold between the ordinary world and the magical. If you are ready to step onto a path of magic and sacred co-creation, please join us.
commitments
This Temple is founded on principles of authenticity, mindfulness, stewardship, and a civilized pace of living. In this age, it is a radical act to swim against the current of technology, but we are committed to a movement of Sustainable Spirit. We intend to balance the ravenous hunger for digital consumption with an anchor of authentic community. We are not here to perform or generate content, or to provide a magic bullet of revelation. Information is everywhere, but true wisdom must be cultivated. We gather here to witness, to listen, and to walk the thresholds of mystery together.
We are deeply committed to fostering women’s empowerment, spiritual growth, and leadership, while welcoming and honoring seekers of all genders who walk the Goddess path in mutual respect and exploration.
Although the Crossroads Goddess Temple is primarily a virtual space, our digital office and Founding Priestess reside on the ancestral lands of the Wabanaki Confederacy along the New England coast. We acknowledge the enduring relationship between these lands and their original stewards, and recognize our responsibility to navigate the ongoing legacy of colonialism with care and accountability.
