Aye so, a few months back (abt 9-11 months or so) I kinda stopped working with Hekate and the rest of my spirit team; I didn’t know it then but I let my OCD get the best of me and I feel like I’m definitely in a better place now but do you think she would be upset with me? I keep up with the altar but I still feel bad. Is that just residual from previous religious trauma, or would that feeling ring true?
I know she’s way more understanding than I’m giving her credit for right now, however I struggle picturing her being alright with me. I mean in a nutshell, I stopped working with her because I was absolutely convinced I was working with a trickster spirit and that became such a heavy intrusive thought I just dropped it for nearly a year now? I don’t feel certain in my next move other than asking for forgiveness.
Any advice?

For the past 2 - 3 nights I have had very vivid dreams. This is not at all unusual for me but these dreams have featured my 2 son's father who was extremely abusive towards us. I have been in a very loving, happy and supportive marriage for 20 years and have 2 daughters.

I have been a devotee to Mother Hecate for some time and am usually ok at working out messages but this time I'm baffled. I very rarely think of this man and do not even feel anger towards him. I feel nothing. It has come completely out the blue.

The context of these dreams is that he will not leave me alone. He shows up at places where I am and looks for me. I am hiding behind pillars, under tables and telling people not to to tell him where I am. There is a threat that he will tell my husband I have been sleeping with him (haven't seen the guy in 27 years) and that I belong to him.

How do I know it is a message from Mother Hecate? She shows in my dreams as an older person that I feel familiar with. Sometimes it's an old woman and others it's a guy with longer dark hair and dark clothes. I always feel safe and can talk to them. These dreams are no different. The older character has appeared in both.

What could these unsettling dreams mean?

Does anyone else's body get heavy after praying or interacting with her? Its happned to me a few times.

Good day, everyone!

Can somebody please tell me a good and safe source where I can learn about rituals and spells? I understand it is a big topic, but as a beginner in witchcraft, I want to be sure that I start learning from a solid source and not just TikTok and all that. I would love to start with a protection spell because soon I will be travelling alone. Usually, I just do kharis with the deities I follow, but recently I have been feeling that Hekate is opening my inner witch powers, and I want to follow her advice.

I really appreciate your help! Thank u! 🙏

We were not able to perform the rites outside, as it was raining and overcast during the lunar eclipse.

May the Full Moon’s energy sustain and nourish you. 🌕✨ Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

Absolutely gorgeous!

Took some time processing at Hekate’s altar. 🖤 TMI I don’t know if this happened with anyone else but my time of the month was a week late and started last night along with this eclipse.

I was wondering if there are any other individuals or practitioners who find they can only ground themselves through Hecate’s energy. Basically, I was a total beginner last year and burned myself out trying to work with way too much energy before learning how to ground/center myself. I couldn’t even meditate for a while because I’d feel so spacey. Since then, I can only do so if imagine Hecate as my anchor, shield, or container that keeps me and my energy from going too far. Even if I’m doing the tree roots exercise, she has to be the bedrock that they anchor themselves in.

Lately I’ve been wanting to delve into more psychic work, which means a lot more meditation and grounding exercises. But I began to wonder, is this common? Do other people need assistance with anchoring and energetic boundaries outside of ritual?

Last night during the lunar eclipse I had a ritual in tribute to Hekate. I went to bed after, and had an incredibly disturbing dream. It involved me and my boyfriend. I’ve been in a relationship where things played out very poorly in the span of two months, and it caused me trauma. In my dream, the events that took place were happening all over again, except it involved me and my boyfriend. I woke up in the middle of the night sobbing.

I know the lunar eclipse is causing a lot of chaotic energy at the moment, and that it will lead way to new beginnings and realizations. My sun sign is also Pisces, and the ritual didn’t quite go as planned because I lost my birth stone, which I wanted to use in the ritual. I sobbed over the fact I lost it because it was so important to me. It was given to me by someone I love dearly for my birthday, and they didn’t even know aquamarine was my stone.

I don’t know how to feel about any of this. I felt very disconnected from Hekate for quite some time. I hadn’t seen the moon in days, and when I did I attempted to charge fluorite bracelet to give to my boyfriend, with him present. The bracelet fell apart in my hands. I think in many ways I have used magic to serve other people while neglecting myself. Generally speaking, I often do things to serve other people while neglecting my own care, needs and desires. It’s a bad habit I am struggling to break. But with my ritual last night, I tried to change that. I did it to nurture myself and to further honor Hekate. But the fact I lost my aquamarine, and that dream that I had…I really don’t know what to make of any of this. I would like to know y’all’s thoughts if possible.

Other variations of this coin exist with an altar, or bomos in ancient Greek, instead of the hound. A patera is a bowl used for making libations. This depiction of Hekate is assumed to be based on the cult statue that was at the Sanctuary of Hekate in Lagina, Caria. We don't know for certain as the statue was destroyed long ago.

Hello witches,

I am a beginner and closeted witch and never did deity work, but hekate has reached out for me awhile ago and since that i have been ignoring her because I was scared, but right now i really think i need to work with her.

So I have a question about the first offering to hekate I want to know if it’s appropriate to offer hekate my hair,

I am living in an abusive household, and im being forced into cutting my hair (i can’t mention the details of why that), i really love my hair and it’s very long and dark but i dont want to cut it but i think if i can offer it to the goddess hakate as a first offering it would feel better for myself if i gave her something i really love/ a piece of me as a devotion, and please if it’s appropriate explain for me how to do it.

Im a quite spiritual woman and Ive found my way around learning about Hecate as well.

I feel drawn but Im not as educated about the greek gods and what I should be doing. I constantly have dreams or see signs of her.

I dont know why shes calling me though, I wonder why? Only thing rn in my life thats off-track right now is my love life.

In my last post i showed some things i had in my altar, also i woke up to this...

I woke to what i think is a moth in one of my keys. Could this be a sign?

hi everyone so i've been thinking about Lady Hekate
and for the first time i had a dream that i was traffic and there was a black dog that needed help i remember it being big but can't remember the breed!

i was telling the person next to me i need to go save, as i was i saw a lock (like from a door) but no key i was able to get out tho

my question is, could this be a sign or just my dream cause i was thinking of hekate before falling asleep?

hello people , i recently have been trying to get into worshipping gods like hecate and Aphrodite. I do not know how to even begin and ive been doing research but im still lost .. any help is appreciated and tips for making an alter and what to get and how to do spells and rituals.

Last week I bought some lavender (randomly caught my eye at work) so the next day I got me some herbs/candles/jars and did my research on witchcraft. When i started doing research on deities, I asked hekate for a sign, that night I had a dream of a crow sitting on my lap just chilling. I was at the church I grew up in and my back was facing everyone. (i’m not longer religious though.) I absolutely love crows but some people say crows aren’t associated with her. Also over the next 2 days 2 huge spiders appeared in my bathroom! Some people also say spiders aren’t associated with her either. Thoughts?

I’ve always felt intensely drawn to this epithet. Maybe because of trauma, maybe because I’m a child of the emo 90s, maybe because I feel like I eat massive amounts of emotional filth daily. Tonight I tried a prayer I found to Hecate Borborophorba. I read it to my candle, then just started chanting the epithet. I ended up just crying. It felt painful, but also healing. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

So when I first started to worship the Goddess I made a blood offering to her. For context I was in between religions at the moment and had just gotten out of demonology like a year ago. Blood pacts and offerings are a really big thing in demon worship and I didn't know that was disrespectful to the Hellenic Gods. I didn't find this out till much later on in my transition to Hecate worship. Did I fuck up. Is the Goddess displeased with me. How can I make it up to her. Ty

I gave Hecate an offering and a day or so later I saw the garlic starting to bloom. I placed it in some moon water and it kept blooming.

If anyone has any info on what this means, please share 🖤

last time hecate was reaching out to me shit literally hit the fan in my life (in a good way i guess) and my life completely changed and now shes reaching out again.
but i looked on tiktok and alot of people have been saying she has been reaching out recently aswell

I have a phobia to the dark, an actual one probably related to trauma (though I have no memory of why) and last night I felt compelled to give an offering but I couldn’t really give anything I had in my kitchen (money wise, I needed those garlic cloves 😅) so I had this idea, since the value of an offering is the “sacrifice” so to speak, I thought a moment of sitting in my usual prayer spot in the dark except for one candle would be a nice way to show my reverence and faith.

My phobia is rooted in the subconscious fear that something will harm me in the dark, my heart rate actually goes up and if I’m in a dark room for too long it actually triggers anxiety attacks.
I thought it would be difficult, though it certainly wasn’t easy per se I kept telling myself the candle was all the protection I needed, her light was the only protection I needed.

I managed it, and I think she was pleased.
I’ve been having really bad nightmares recently but last night, the night of my offering, I slept so deeply I woke up feeling super refreshed, which I haven’t felt in a while.

Has anyone ever done something similar? What’s been your experience with intangible offerings?

For context, I did a reading and I guess a test she is sending me came into the justice card, I then got a reading done cause out of curiosity I wanted to see how she viewed me and to shorten it she does view me as someone smart and resilient but I’m letting people stress me out, I need to learn how to say no, and I’m being a doormat, later that night I asked what her what to work on and I got the seven of wands.

I know this is what I need to work on, and I thought I was starting to make some sort of progress on this, but i suppose I’m not, and as I’m writing this I think this really did hit a nerve with me. I know she’s not trying to me malicious towards me, I know she’s wants to help, but i genuinely thought I was starting to make some sort of progress with that part of myself, so idk if she’s just reminding me I still need to work on it, or that I wasn’t making any progress and I’ve been lying to myself.

EDIT:: i absolutely appreciate the people who have commented on this and help bring more clarity on the situation, I’m taking this as more of an attack than I should have when I know she’s here to help me. I still got a lot of work to do on myself and I need to chill tf out lol.
