Nov 16 – Night of Hecate, Greek Goddess of the Hags or Wisewomen, (later called Witches), her name comes from Heqa-ma’at, a goddess in the ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead who later became Hekmah or Hokmah (also spelled Chokmah) meaning wisdom in the ancient Hebrew Bible (Old Testament).  From Heqa-ma’at / Hecate / Hokmah we get the Greek word for wisewoman or holywoman, “hag”.  Hecate was goddess of the hags and it was a very complementary thing to be a hag of the Hagia Sophia tradition!
