Shay Skepevski is a Freelance Writer and Visionary Artist, born and living in Sydney, Australia. He was raised with Macedonian (northern Greece) culture and tradition, which intimately introduced him to a world of European folk-magick. Identifying himself as an Hekatean Priest and Inspired Insomniac, for over a decade Shay has been practicing his solitary Witchcraft, his path is a union of Thuergi
c, Grecian, Chthonik, Ecstatic, Entheogenic, and Psychological influences.
A devotee of the goddess Hekate and Torch-Bearer of the CoH, Shay is soon to be releasing his first book 'Lunatik Witchcraft - Illuminating Your Underworld'.
‘Lunatik Witchcraft: Illuminating the Underworld – An ecstatic Hekatean Tradition’ is a new book due out in summer 2012 (Winter for the northern hemisphere), which hopes to bring together Magick, Spirituality, and Psychology for the Devotee of Hekate who seeks to explore the mysteries of the Underworld and illuminate the Shadow. Dedicated to the Theurgic Witch with a focus on ecstatic practices, ‘Lunatik Witchcraft’ is an exploration of the goddess Hekate as a deity of the Unconscious, and includes practices to alter consciousness, as well as rituals and spells designed to initiate communication with the Unconscious for personal development, as well as psychic and spiritual evolution.
Shay’s published work features in: Hekate: Her Sacred Fires (Essay – ‘Hekate’s Sacred Lunacy’, cover artwork ‘Hekate Unveiled’, and Internal illustrations ‘Soteira’) edited by Sorita D’Este, Bearing Torches (Prayer - 'Hekate's Devotion') published by Bibliotheca Alexandrina under the pseudonym 'Shay Morgan', and the up and coming Faery Craft (Internal illustration ‘Peacock Vision’) by Emily Carding; Memento Morte (Essay 'Becoming Persephone') edited by Kim Huggens, and the Pagan Prayer Project, edited by Stacey Demarco and Naza Cogo.
He is passionate about Grecian mythology, Theurgy, Art, Naturopathy, and Jungian psychology. You can find out more about Shay’s work as an Artist, and journey as a Witch by visiting:
