Thats when you need Hecate: Queen of Between, many-shaped and multi-tasking goddess of birth, death, witches, weasels, hellhounds, crossroads, thresholds and ghosts. Barking at her heels, Lucy Lill and Sarah Liisa Wilkinson take up their torches, jangle their keys and bring you stories of letting go, squeezing through and moving on.
