WHEELS OF DIVINE INFLUENCE: THE IYNX AND THE STROPHALOS
IO TYPHON - Limited HArDcover EditiOn
In ancient myth, Typhon was the deicidal godbeast that drove the Olympians into Egypt and tore Zeus’s sinews from his body. Set was the adversarial god of the desert who dismembered Osiris to pursue the beautiful Isis. Typhon-Set is the Kemetic syncretization of both: a ferocious daimon invoked in the Greco-Egyptian Magical Papyri to scatter foes, undo bonds, destroy regimes, and upend old orders to make way for the new.

Hekate Ochetos - The Passage
This essay describes Harper Feist’s journey to receiving an epithet from her benefactor goddess, Hekate that is both personal and unique. The essay provides in detail the structure of this ritual series. The aim is not to make such a degree of complexity seem necessary but to encourage other devotees to design ways to ask their most inspirational and present deities for signs of attention and individual epiphanies.
