New (ish) witch here. Been working with Hecate for about a week and had a question about her altar. Should it be separated from my general altar or is it ok being added onto my bigger altar? Or does it now matter ?

My dad found came over and found this beautiful pheasant feather in my yard and I thought it would look absolutely amazing on her altar and I gave her this cute incense cauldron as well. I also decluttered her a bit so she’s not too overwhelmed. ⛧⃝

I reached out to hecate after I had been thinking of doing so for a little while. I wasn't super confident in how it would go. It was my first time reaching out to a deity since I left Christianity when I was 13, and that whole time I was a Christian I felt I was only talking to myself. This was so different, I have to devote myself to her.

Long story short, I did reach out basically with the idea that I needed something to convince myself that she is real and I should head down this path. I did not expect to have such a strong feeling at first since I am a bit out of practice, But my initial call to he was answered immediately. I felt a strong presence, undeniably. I asked her to converse with me in my dreams, and she actually did visit me in my dream. After a brief back and forth I asked if there was anything else she would like to tell me. I pulled the tarot cards: the star, the queen of swords, and the Tower. Which I took to mean that she is here for me, and great change is coming (but I would appreciate other opinions on that, the tower is a card that makes me nervous).

I had typed more, but I got the feeling she would want me to keep some of the details to myself. Regardless, I have to be impressed by my experience. I am going to get some hecate specific items for my altar space, and an actual offering bowl.

To preface, I didn’t alter the candle wick at all, it was trimmed and lit properly. It was so amazing seeing this, I’ve never lit a candle in my life that burned as strongly as that😅

Hecate is an amazing deity to work with, I’m a beginner to witchcraft and felt her calling to me before I even knew if I wanted to work with deities or not.

I was told she’s not for beginners but she absolutely is, she’s so powerful and transformative and my life changed in the best ways when I started working with her 🖤

Hecate necklace made I think it came out awesome

Hello all! I just joined today and wanted to say I'm very glad to be here. I just performed my initiation last month and ready to start my relationship with Hecate! If you have any pointers for me that'd be awesome! Thanks and Blessed Be!

title says it all. I’ve recently started learning and researching more about hecate and reached out to her a few days ago. I’ve been lighting a candle and bringing her a few other offerings everyday alongside a few minutes of meditation. I’ve been feeling doubtful because i’ve seen a lot of people saying there’s no point in worshipping her if your intuition isn’t sharp (mine clearly isn’t) but i’d still like to continue and believe she’s acknowledging everything im doing. sometimes i get irrationally scared of having done to upset her which might make her decline my offerings so does anyone have any advice or guidance on this matter?

In honor of Deipnon I would like to do a giveaway! Since I cannot do a big feast for our Mother, I can do this and spread her love to you all! I have a few items I’d be happy to send for free! It’s an Obsidian mirror (for scrying), obsidian roller ball (if you’d like to make your own Hekate oils), a selenite crystal, and a Hekate keychain.

Please DM me and the first one who does, gets all this FOR FREE! :)

I have been working with Hecate for several months now and She sends angels and other deities with massages. Well this morning, I'm on fb scrolling and i stop on lillith's symbol in a group and felt like i received a download in my mind and felt drawn to contact Lilith. I called upon the Triple Goddess and asked, she said she had. So I contacted Lilith, wasn't too hard being a psych witch , I called to her and she came. I communicated with her on my scrying board and she verified that she was sent by Hecate. She told me that I needed to start eating healthy and to love my Wendee. She wants me to seek knowledge about her. But, it sounds just like who I need to work with now. Anyone else have her sending you others 😆

Hi all! I’d appreciate hearing your interpretation! Now I’ll just get into it! Here are the brass tacks:

I’ve recently felt called to Hecate. I particularly am drawn to the liminal aspect of her as I am in a bit of a transitional period in my life. While I felt this call to her I also felt intimidated. I felt like I needed to do everything right if I wanted to work with her.

To prepare I began reading various books about Hecate and have been casually scrolling through the posts on here. Despite learning more about her I’ve felt split between wanting to work with her in the ways I’m taught and other times thinking something like “there is no way I’d ever do that.” I am a buddhist with a touch of witch, which makes me reluctant to put anyone/anything on a pedestal or idolize.

ANWAY- Last night before falling asleep I read about the various ways Hecate communicates with us. One being through dreams! Last night I dreamt I joined a new church which later revealed to be more of a cult than religion. the church and its practices were harmful, illegal, and single minded. I tried to escape the church but was chased and subsequently shot with an arrow of all things in my leg to prevent me from leaving.

This morning I’ve looked at the dream as a communication from Hecate, of which could be interrupted in different ways such as:

1. My intimidation is a sign that this is not for me or at least now. I shouldn’t jump into this if I can’t get behind common practices when working with Hecate.
2. Hecate is saying fuck it, I don’t need to work with her in one way — I know people say you can work with her anyway you want but I feel like I haven’t seen that yet.

okay! thanks for reading! please let me know what you think!

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share something funny that happened during my ritual last night. I don’t currently have a veil, so I made a makeshift one, but I literally could not see. I could a little bit, but ever so slightly.

I love my set up yesterday, but because I couldn’t see how much i was pouring, I used an entire bottle of salt.

Oh well! Alls well that ends well :)

Good evening everyone.

I recently started worshiping Lady Hecate after picking up on signs I was seeing. With the guidance of a fellow witch, I was able to walk the path.

I like to call myself a recovering catholic and I always questioned the Christian practice, so much so I was in the principal’s office when I was in school. My whole life I have never felt anything after praying in church, like I’ve seen people get emotional, start crying tears of joy but I’ve never experienced that until I started praying to Hecate. I feel like this swell of emotions bubbling up, like a mixture of warmth and comfort. I can honestly describe it the feeling you get after someone says their proud of you. Then I get a ringing in my ears.

I’m not scared of it, I just find acceptance with her and I find it so comforting.

I am two months into no contact from being discarded by my narcissistic ex. I keep mourning over the whole thing, he was really cruel towards the end. I prayed to Hecate for help today. I asked that my ex not be able to forget me. It's not fair what he did and not fair that he now move on without me. I asked for justice. Sometimes I wonder if I should be with a woman, as men have done more harm then good to me in my life.

Si, I’ve been studying and trying to establish a relationship with Hecate. I always kept a key in my pocket. It was weird looking and I have no idea what it locked or unlocked. Since I started researching, I lost my key. I have no idea what happened to it. Since Hecate is the keeper of the keys should I take this to mean anything?

A random day last month i was bent over my stove mixing chocolate chips into a banana bread batter when the sudden thought came to me. ‘I should leave a slice as an offering for Hecate’ this was strange as i had not thought of her before, aside from some representation i had seen of her in shows i knew little of our dark mother. I put the bread in the oven, let it bake and in that time did some research on her. It was comforting; like a warm trickle down my back of foreign familiarity. Like i had known her my whole life; or she had known me. Three years prior, at 18 i had stared into the eyes of my soon to be killer- looked at him with love and a shred of a plea to take it easy on me. His pistol was cold against my ribcage but his bed was soft against my back and i recognize now the fire that filled me hadnt been my own. I dont know how i survived that night or the following months, or how i made it back home in the dark the night i had decided to leave for good. The many faces of the moon had followed me.

Doing my research last month i read that she was the goddess of justice, the goddess of boundaries and a protector of immigrants she can control the spirits, she is quick serving justice and speeds up karma. The back of my mind tickled. After i’d left, the news came to me of an accident he had been in. He was drunk, but he swore he saw a man in the road, old and bleeding. He almost died that night, and that was the beginning of his end. That was the day of the dead, and my mom and i swore it had been my grandfather in that road, who had been shot 14 times, once right in the eye. Months later he was arrested and sent to prison. I had no doubt in my mind my dark mother had been protecting me since then, i had no doubt she was who allowed my grandfather to deliver her justice, i had no doubt she was what got me out alive. I devoted myself to her that same night.

In my devotion i asked her to guide me in my path, and to teach me of my ancestral roots. As a mexican girl i carry more indigenous blood than european but my roots have been erased. Last night i found an old report i had done on my dna, my ancestry tied me back to the Otomi tribe. Their goddess, Zana, is the young mother, she represents creation and destruction, is the queen of the night she is represented by the moon the new moon and the full moon, her devotees celebrated her on the ending of the lunar month; or as we know it the deipnon. What are the odds my ancestral goddess has so many similarities to her? Upon my research and trying to find images of Zana, Hecate jumped at me. A drawing of our dark mother clear as day. I think she was reminding me of what i had asked of her, and letting me know she had heard. Now, i imagine my ancestors, in the Sierra nueva of mexico, on the seam of over 1,200 volcanoes, harnessing the same energy and devoting to the same diety on the same nights as the ancient greeks. Separated by an ocean, unaware of the others existence but somehow, almost instinctually, worshipping the divine feminine.

A few months pregnant, so I’m constantly exhausted, was asleep before ten last night and didn’t even register this Deipnon. I had the strangest dream that I was trapped in a school I’ve never seen before - first a never ending bathroom, then hallways, then stairs leading up. Eventually a kind man smashed a glass case for me for…something I can’t recall. Then a door appears to my left, and as soon as I walk outside I’m on my mom’s front lawn in the old culdesac, it’s the dead of night but not very dark because of the huge moon in the sky.

I go up to the open door and walk inside, but my mom is wrong - curled up on the floor shaking, but she’s schizoaffective so this is somewhat normal. I reach for her and just the way she looks at me, I don’t know. It screams danger and I fall out of the house and scramble back on the lawn, and start whispering Hekate Solera. I make it as far back as the culdesac, and suddenly a young woman to my left is sitting next to a fire and whispering with me. The moon literally BLOTS OUT and to make a long story short because details are already getting fuzzy, my mom was fine.

I woke up to a nosebleed and fighting the urge to drive over to my moms house…I haven’t made any offerings to her in a while, I didn’t even know about Deipnon until I came here to make this post. I don’t feel any anger, but my mom is a hugely touchy subject and I’m sure she knows that. Setting my last little cake and some honey on her offering plate and hoping for the best. Anybody else have weird dreams after not actively practicing for a while?

Hello, I’ve been a Pagan for around 4 years but throughout November I’ve been having an intense calling to Hecate. This is the first Diety I will be working with and I want to honour her in the best way possible. Currently, I have set up a Shrine for Hecate with various things I found around my house which made me think of her. I also painted a little picture of her as I’ve read she appreciated homemade gifts. I know yesterday was Diepnon but I never left an offering, I just put some Lavender on the Shrine for her.

I want to leave an offering of thanks to Hecate and wonder how? Where is the best place to leave the offering? What would Hecate prefer to have as an offering?

And also, if you have any other tips and tricks and things I need to know regarding Diety work/Worshipping Hecate then please let me know!

Hi all! I have been feeling for a while a call towards Hecate, like a voice inside me saying “Hecate wants you”, but I have been monotheistic always and I don’t know why I am feeling pull to her. I have to recognize I am a scared, as some people identify Hecate as a demon.

Any recommendation about what to do?

Does anyone else feel deep emotions before or during the dark moon? It feels like our Lady Queen Goddess Hecate wants us to release all of it to her. I usually journal, do a tarot reading, take a releasing bath, and then make my offering (diepnon). After doing this, I can feel the energy shifting, and so much weight is lifted off me.

For those who are new and say Hecate has chosen you and blessed you with gifts, I’m not saying you’re right or wrong, but what I can tell you is that she doesn’t give us “free stuff.” She wants us to put in the work. Anything we manifest or ask her for assistance with requires our own effort.

As I mentioned, if you feel heavy energy, how can you release that? It’s not like she will come and do a cleansing bath for you or gather the herbs for you. You have to take those steps yourself in order to receive her blessings.

Do you need protection? Watch as she removes people from your life who do not have your best interests at heart. You must ask her for help and put in the work, and I can assure you, your life will change. You will notice a difference. Now, she is not a fixer; she won’t solve every single problem for you, but she will guide you.

Sometimes, especially today, I feel a strong sadness. We all want success, money, and the ability to afford what we desire. Work has been very challenging lately, and I lost a significant business deal. Is it frustrating? Yes. Have I asked for her help and guidance? Yes. But I trust in her divine timing. She knows my struggles, just as she knew that the people I was working with were harmful, blindsided me, and got me fired. Again, she has a way of removing you from negative influences. Even though I can’t help but feel sad and like a loser at times, I cried and instead asked her for the strength and courage to move on and to open new doors of opportunity for me.

I have been a devotee of hers for a few years now, and I can attest to the amount of pain she has lifted from me—trauma that only a goddess can understand and help heal, including childhood trauma and experiences of sexual and physical abuse.

Anyone who is new to working with Hecate should know that she doesn’t make it easy for us. She doesn’t fix your problems; she is firm and loving but does not tolerate laziness or uncleanliness. She wants you to demonstrate that you are ready for what you are asking, and she wants to see your efforts. A relationship with her is like any friendship; you must get to know each other. Talk about your life with her. Let her know what you like and dislike. If you think you’ve done something wrong, just tell her.

(I saw someone mention leaving Hecate a cheese sandwich, and some people were rude about it.) I understand the skepticism. If you are new to working with Hecate, learn about her—what she likes and dislikes. Read extensively about her. Communities like this one allow you to seek guidance.

I just wanted to share a little about my experience working with her. I wanted others to know that those emotions are real. Hecate is real.

Hail Queen Goddess Mother Hecate 🖤🗝️

Guys i need help... I've been pretty confident in my identity for a long time and turning to mother has been one of the greatest things I've ever done and i think of all of you as my family but some stuff is going down and i just needed somewhere to talk about it and you guys where the first set of people i thought of to go to...
so here's my problem... Have you ever been in a relationship with someone and over time the people around you have just started making dirtier and dirtier jokes alongside suggesting that my partner and i are doing it and it's just overall caused a spiralling identity crisis...
For context I'm a 17 year old Genderflux person (also refered to as Genderfluid: Agender - Gendervoid) who until today was certain they were Greysexual, demiromantic and Enbian (NBLNB) but some of the stuff thats happened recently has pushed me into a bit of a spiral and i just need help....

Hi all, I doubt I’m alone in this, as it was literally the second message after ‘hello, I’m here, and I have been all along’. Does she ask for you to share?

I’ve been in daily practise with Hekate now for some time. It totally took me by surprise. I’ve never been religious or churchy and anyone preaching evangelical makes me verrrry uncomfortable. I was so unaware as to what it actually is to have a devotional practice. So it was something of a shock when I had a goddess literally just speak with me. She’s so…matter of fact. I’m almost embarrassed that it took me so long to hear.

She has said to me now on numerous occasions that she wants me to share my findings and conversations with others, as in, with a much wider audience that the few limited few people in my own life who would be open to it. Not to convert people, but just to have them listen a bit closer. It’s like she wants me to make introductions.

Wildly, 3 nights ago she introduced me to another triple goddess - or at least she allowed another to enter the chat. Brigid seemed a bit pushy, and kind of mad (possibly because I have Celtic/Gaelic history and didn’t ’find’ her myself. Since then, Hekate is been much more subtle. Less conversational, but definitely there.

I’ve been working with the Greek Magical Papyri (the history geek in me is very happy), and have an English translation of the original text with Greek phonetics and Greek and Egyptian diagrams. It’s awesome to invoke and do spell work in an ancient tongue. And there are SO many direct references to Hekate and her other aspects in the pantheon. Highly recommend getting your hands on a copy of this!

i’m having a rough day, and I know my altar isn’t perfect, but I wanted to share it because it’s special to me.

I truthfully always love the new moon, and I try to be as positive as possible because I also know that the new moon is important to mother. But I am struggling so much right now. I feel like the wind is being sucked out of me. Everything in my life is in disarray, and I literally don’t know how or when it’ll get better. I don’t know what I can do to change my circumstances. I just really wanna feel Hecate wrapping her arms around me, telling me it’s all gonna be okay.
