Hail Hekate: Walking the Forked Path by Jack Grayle [Esoteric Course Review]

[@frithbarbat]

I totally concur. Just took this course, and in just the first week my relationship with and understanding of her was transformed.

[@georginawonder]

When I took this course it was the first time I ever took a course online of any kind, and I went in it with such confidence that I was going to love it because the description of the course was exactly what I was looking for to get to know Hekate. After the course my relationship with Hekate has strengthened so much! I also purchased the HEKATÆON and started working with it with such confidence thanks to this wonderful course. I still have to finish the book I had to take a brake since my mother was diagnosed with dementia and at the moment I am her only caretaker. But I’m not alone I have Hekate and her spirits working with me! ❤️ Great review I’m glad you’ve enjoyed the course.

Wow. Thank you for this. I purchased the book Hekate Soteira at a metaphysical shop, a few months ago, and the owner recommended this course to me.

I'm rarely interested in talking courses but like many who work with Hekate I've always been very drawn to hey. That being said I've taken both Jack grayles course and Jason Miller's hekate course. (OK to be truly honest I'm currently taking jack grayles PGM 50 rites for 50 nights) and while Jason Miller's class is very good my personal opinion is that if you're deciding between the two then hands down jack Grayles was the greater value.

[@sunthroughtherain2570]

Hey, could you share which course you had unpleasant experience with, as I've been thinking about taking some of the courses on the blackthorne site, but am still unsure.

[@PunkOpossom]

@@sunthroughtherain2570 To preface, this is my personal experience with the class and people thoroughly enjoy Jack's classes. It seemed to me that Jack was presenting information that was already widely available to the public. For example, Jack refers to the PGM a lot in this class and while it's good to refer back to historical sources, it left me wanting more. Jack does include some personal materials here and there, but for the price of the class, I was expecting something a bit more than just sources I could find by myself. All and all, Jack runs a good class, it just wasn't for me.

[@sunthroughtherain2570]

@@PunkOpossom Hey, thanks for the reply. I thought you initially meant you had bad experience with a ritual or something, that's why I asked. :) I have enough stuff on my plate without doing any rituals at the moment and didn't want to add additional salt to my life :D

I just finished Jason’s Heka 1 course and can say in all honesty that it will be something I work with for a life time. It starts slow, and then around week 5 it really speeds up. I can’t imagine how much more there is in Heka 2 & 3 because just Heka 1 is an entire system of magic and sorcery. I highly recommend it.

The practical side of the course is considerable. It's just not "all practice" like in so many other courses.

It really is something else. I started with ur channel, and all my knowledge and little practice was based on western esoteric tradition, it definitely is full of concepts that I would never dream about. For example, my practice, in which I am only an apprentice and a noob, starts after the planetary magik! In Islamic tradition, planetary practice is still considered chthonic, and if one is to be faithful to the religious beliefs, one should only work with Higher magik, i.e angelic entities and other entities that I really don't know yet what they are called in english, in the service of divinity. These are powers unlike any other I have ever, well, I haven't seen much, but this is on another ballpark Sry to write so much. I should find some ways to get on FF discord servers one day, I am dying to discuss it with like-minded individuals, since I have never been a dogmatic person, I unfortunately can't find many common topics of interest with other apprentices under my teacher.

Curious as to whether this course is appropriate for a beginner. While not a complete beginner, I would barely consider myself a neophyte. The impression I got from the intro video to the course is it’s more for an intermediate practitioner. Thank you for the review!

[@FoolishFishBooks]

Jack's very modest. No, while I wouldn't recommend this as your very first encounter with magic, if you have been thinking about magic and gods and spirits and the meaning of it all for more than say, a year, while youay not be able to access every single detail of this course, there'll be so much that you can access that will be of higher quality than anything else out there that you won't even be bothered by what you can't yet access. The videos remain available after the end of the course, so as you continue to develop you can revisit and continue getting new stuff from the material as it becomes relevant to you (and you notice it!)

[@sierragrant1506]

FF, will you at some point explain and share why someone would choose to work with Hekate? Her history, why the old time civilizations would turn to her, and her application and personal efforts with a modern individual? A few years ago I felt a strong call from Hekate without being involved in that world much prior, and was first lead to the Jason Miller course that I ended up taking. I feel that there is definitely something to be said about original PGM versus new material such like JM’s. In the end, what I got out of the course is something I cannot describe and it leaves me questioning really, still, what and who is Hekate? I have worked with her for over a year but haven’t had many more than 3 close experiences that still leave me confused.

[@FoolishFishBooks]

This course is focused on answering this very question.

[@solargooseful]

You need to do more videos with your face. You’re a good looking guy.

[@FoolishFishBooks]

Heh! You're very kind 😅🙏

[@WildMen4444]

But here's the big question: does it teach basic devotional practice? It sounds like it covers a lot of ground magically-speaking very well which is great for occultists but I didn't hear much about how to engage with Her devotionally (which is a lot more important than most occultists these days are willing to admit). Now, granted, I would imagine that this would probably be one of the first things learned and maybe not seen as something to highlight in particular in a review but it is a deceptively simple part of the process that is way more crucial than is taught today

[@FoolishFishBooks]

You're completely right on all accounts, and yes, I did believe that the presence of the devotional aspect might go without saying, focusing more on pointing out that if you're not so much up for a devotional practice but simply wish to learn about her and the ancient magical context, then that's fine ALSO 😊🙏

[@WildMen4444]

@@FoolishFishBooks Cool. Sounds like a pretty cool program then. I just needed to ask about the devotional elements because there is an awful lot of anti-devotional sentiment among occultists these days based in notions that simple acts of piety towards any deity are somehow incredibly dangerous and not for beginners (a sentiment that is historically-speaking just factually untrue and is quite frankly dangerous in and of itself). Now, granted, there are some (a small number) of deities that need to be approached with caution because of how They operate (a good example would be some of the Petro Loa in Haitian Vodou). But the idea that pouring a glass of wine in honor of Zeus and saying "Thank you!" is somehow going to "destroy your life" as one person I saw put it is just a tremendous overcorrection in the attempt to prevent a problem that really only the most foolhardy (and quite frankly immature) are ever going to encounter. The kinds of problems these people talk about just don't happen to people that show basic respect, practice due diligence in research, and utilize just a pinch of common sense.

[@FoolishFishBooks]

@@WildMen4444 oh i completely get that. I've also seen some pretty dumb attitudes based on fear and a misunderstanding of what is actually the potential source of problems. No. I can safely say that Jack is VERY comfortable with devotion, and the devotional aspect is extensively covered in the course.
