Sharp, observant, gentle, metaphysical, heartbroken and healed. Here, the naturalist and the mystic go hand in hand. Leila Lees writes about nature with sensitivity and exactitude. 

Hekate, the enigmatic Greek Goddess of magic, the moon, ghosts, medicine, and crossroads stands at the boundary between the divine and the human world. As the leading character crosses this threshold, the goddess, becomes a presence that reveals and mirrors different states of being, evolving through the dark and the light. Hekate is experimental essay-poetry that leads the reader on a Journey into the natural world, and into the essence of minerals, plants and animals.

Leila Lees is a writer and artist living on Waiheke Island, New Zealand. Her book Into the World, a book on shamanic and mystical practice was runner up for the 2019 Ashton Wylie Mind Body and Spirit book awards. She has illustrated three books with writer and poet Mike Johnson and is the author of Piripai a natural history as prose poetry and ferry crossing  a book of poetry.
