Also, you can check out ttp://www.neosalexandria.org/publishing.htm for information on previously published Bibliotheca Alexandrina devotionals, as well as upcoming ones, which include one to Erishkigal and one to Hekate (although we would like to stress we are looking for more emphasis on Her from a Hellenic view, rather than her Neo-Pagan Crone image. If you have any questions about that, I'd shoot out an email and ask).
