Nikita Gill: Hekate
The author guides us through the myths of the underworld, centring on the goddess of necromancy, witchcraft and crossroads, in conversation with Elodie Harper.
A place to share feminine rage and powerful myths that centre women, this talk features themes of womanhood, refuge, power, rage, hope, motherhood and magic.
Elodie Harper is the award-winning author of the bestselling Wolf Den trilogy, set in ancient Pompeii, and the Sunday Times bestselling Boudicca’s Daughter (2025). Alongside her career as a writer, she has worked as a reporter at ITV News and a producer at Channel 4.
