About the author
Cyndi Brannen has written a series of books on the goddess Hekate and modern witchcraft, mostly published by Weiser Books and Moon Books, including Keeping Her Keys: An Introduction to Hekate's Modern Witchcraft (second edition, 2024), Entering Hekate's Cave (2023), Entering Hekate's Cauldron (2025), Entering Hekate's Garden, and True Magic: Unleashing Your Inner Witch (2019), along with a Spanish translation, Las Llaves de Hékate. The Entering Hekate volumes form a linked project structured as guided study, moving through the cave, the cauldron, and the garden as stages of inner work connected to Hekate's mythology, with exercises, rituals, and plant correspondences drawn from the tradition. Keeping Her Keys is designed as a self-study introduction for readers building an ongoing Hekatean practice. Brannen's books are addressed to readers already interested in goddess-centered witchcraft who want a structured, book-length program rather than a single reference guide.
