Hii i have felt she has been sending signs for years and last week i finally got the courage and lit the only candle i had for her(i’ve been doing tarot reading for 3years now never worked w deity before) it was during a new moon 29-30 midnight i had talked w her about a hour that day and i left a small offering for her that day honey and some rose. Today i lit up the same candle w the intention of talking to her but my ancestors came in which is why im so confused? What does it mean? I did talked to them and they came bearing warning about needing to cut out a relationship. I am really confused does that mean I judged wrong? Does lady hekate refusing me? Or was it just my ancestors needing to warn me and came in even tho i didn’t specifically asked them?

For now we can’t have a permanent altar for personal reasons. But at least once a week we prepare one for our prayers!

Do you ask for signs of reassurance when feel unsure or questioning your decisions? When you need to see a clear sign that Mother is with you. That you, in fact, are not on your own when you have to go to potentially unsafe environments, where you can get hurt emotionally and even physically.

Does Mother respond to you every time? What signs She sends to you?

Some comments on my altar being in the closet... Here's why. Sorry for the messy bed,I just woke up:) blessed Sunday to all.

Imbolc Blessing to Brigid

Brigid, Goddess of flame and light, Guide us through the winter night. Keeper of hearth, of well, and fire, Fill our hearts with pure desire.

Bless this home, this sacred space, With love, renewal, and your grace. As the earth stirs beneath the snow, May your warmth and wisdom grow.

On this day of light’s return, Let the sacred fires burn. Blessed be, O Lady bright, Bringer of hope, and shining light.

You can say this prayer while lighting a candle, placing an offering to Brigid (milk, bread, honey, or water), or standing outside under the winter sky to welcome the first signs of spring.

So long story short Iv been seeing a lot of Hecate stuff lately. I have always been shaky with gods and sprits but try and keep and open mind. I decided to try a Hecate prayer and see what happens.

The feeling after was… interesting, like something reaching inside my back and gently squeezing something out. I then decided to get my deck out (which I only have cuz a friend wanted me to get it) and this was what I pulled from the deck.

I’m no expert but… I think Hecate has been wanting my attention?… maybe?…

Tw: sexual harassment

During the recent Winter months there were times walking my dog that made me think of Hecate. My dog is a large dog, an all black German Shepherd. I wear a long fur lined forest green coat. Sometimes, if I found myself standing on the street corner watching snowflakes gently fall on the quiet intersection (crossroad) while the dog played in the snow, I would wonder how we looked to other people. I know that people perceive me as beautiful and mysterious, and my dog catches a lot of attention. I thought "I wonder if I look like Hecate to anyone besides myself."

I began to see her in me after that.

This week, I experienced sexual harassment from a coworker. He has never talked to me in real life. We are not friends on Facebook and he used a different name, so I did not know who the messages were from. This made it feel extremely scary. When I figured out who it was from I also learned that he had messaged 3 other girls from my work innapropriate things. And I recalled that a year ago he sent me love notes on a different platform. At that time,I explicitly told him I was not interested. This was a boundary violation on multiple levels. First, I told my (male) boss (I am female) about it, but then I said to him "don't do anything about it I will talk to him myself just have my back and don't fire me". I spent two days in anxiety before I worked with him again. Tonight I had my glorious terrifying moment. I work in a restaurant. I'm a server. He works grill. I called him out by name in front of all our coworkers. I said you will take public accountability for what you said to me on Facebook two days ago. Then I read verbatim the raunchiest couple lines that he said to me. I just exposed his words. I did not degrade or insult him. I just brought it to light. I said this was inappropriate because it was not consensual. Then I went back to my job. A few hours later I got the attention of the kitchen staff again by saying "you all should be holding him accountable too; he has done this to at least four women here and it is not acceptable". That was it. I was very proud of myself. No one applauded me, but no one said a single word against me either.

Now, I initially wanted to share this to get some hype and to encourage others because I know we have all experienced some form of sexual violence. I know that Hecate is especially close to those who suffer sexual injustices. I think that I did her will, and did something to help protect our daughters. Now I am also asking you for prayers. Just a little while ago my dog, the same black dog from the story (he came into my life just as I was starting my devotion to Hecate) had some scary sounding breathing tonight. It was extremely raspy for a while. I think he might have had a sudden allergic reaction. I'm not sure why. It came on quickly and lasted 5 minutes or so. It was very scary, and I am still worried about him. Please pray that she protects him. Thank you

.... Just a few house keeping things I anticipate. Apparently different places have different rules about who they can fire. My boss actually did talk to this guy, which I appreciate. But he does not have cause to do any disciplinary measure since it did not happen at work or on the work app.

If you think this would have been handled better in private, I disagree. This was not about vengeance or shaming him. This was about making an equal playing field. If I have intimate moments with a lover I keep all of that confidential because it happens between two consenting adults and deserves privacy. This was not consensual which makes it not private. Making it public takes away his power to make others feel helpless.

I’m not a pagan. I’m an active practicing christian. I’ve been doing research on scholomance, stregheria and occult topics for a fantasy setting. And found Hecate in some of the papers I’ve read and wondered if I could get more insight into this deity for some inspiration.

This might be obvious for some but not that much to me, I'm new that's why. I did food offering to Hecate for deipnon (like many), and suddenly I wondered "how long do you keep the food there? What do you do with it after? Do you throw it to the street? On the earth? .... On the trash?" Also I wonder how much time due to nature.. meaning bugs appearing due to the food. Thanks in advance for your responses

A friend of mine is dealing with a trickster spirit and I asked Hekate to reveal to me what was going on (or how I could help them) and this symbole popped up in my head. Sort I’m a shyte artist but does anyone recognize still?

I don’t really have anyone to share this dream with (born and raised in central Florida as a Baptist lol) so I thought I’d come here. Just for a little backstory : a few months back my social media started getting flooded with Hecate videos and it was truly out of no where since I don’t know anyone in real life who has ever admitted to practicing. I kept questioning if it was just coincidence, then it started happening even more. Then I was at my sons birthday party and my nephew poured all of my son’s little brother’s toys out of his toy box (we had the party at his dad’s house) and while I was cleaning up a couple of my other nephews came to help and the youngest of them handed me a key. Not a toy key, a real key that had clearly been long forgotten. I was overcome with emotion and certain it was a sign, I made sure the key didn’t belong to anyone and I put it in my car. I started doing some research and started speaking to Hecate each night. I’d burn a candle and an incense and just talk to her and ask her for guidance and to remove the things not meant for me in my life. For months I’d been feeling a heavy, dark energy looming in my home and wanted to cleanse my space and read that Hecate is the one that will keep you safe and guide you through some hard changes that will all be for the better. One of the first nights I was burning the incense my mom came in my room with her shirt over her nose upset that I was making the whole house stink. I joked around that I found the bad energy, but a couple weeks later it was revealed my parents are on drugs again (they ruined my childhood and now that I’m nearing 30 they figured they’re safe to get on drugs again) and everything just started to make sense. A lot has happened since then. My drinking became a nightly thing, even if I wasn’t wasted I’d still have a half a pint a night. I ended up getting in a physical fight with my mom trying to hold her back from letting my own children see us arguing. It’s been…awful. But a strange blessing in disguise because it’s motivated me enough to finally get own and get my own space where I can keep myself and my children safe and peaceful (that should be coming to fruition in about a month). Anyway…somewhere through all of this I stopped burning candles and incense, I stopped making offerings, I stopped talking to Hecate and would only give a quick “please keep me and my babies safe” while driving on a rainy night or something of the sort. I haven’t had a drank since Sunday and it’s given me a lot of time to think about the stuff that I was stuffing down and one of the things that kept coming back was my dealings with Hecate. I’ve been thinking maybe all of that stuff was pure coincidence but a couple of nights ago right before I dozed off I decided to thank her and tell her I’m still not sure if she ever wanted to work with me, but I am grateful to her for exposing the source of toxicity in my life.

The dream: Last night I had this dream that I was back in the city I went to to get clean from narcotics a few years back and walking through some parking garage. While walking some man in a car stopped and told me if I worship Hecate he can help me find genuine pieces to worship her and offer her and I assured him I don’t work with her because I don’t know enough to do it and don’t want to offend her or get too far in over my head being so ignorant (also a genuine concern of mine) and we went about our ways. I walked into a dead end, and when I went to turn around the floor underneath me turned into those plastic balls that used to be in the McDonald’s playhouses and I was left standing on the ledge of the part of the parking garage you drive in to get to the next level and the man appeared again, offering to take my hand to help me down. I told him I was too scared to and all of a sudden I heard a woman’s voice and it was very calming and motherly and it said, “my name, I want to work with you.” I immediately woke up in a panic and pouring sweat, my heart was racing.

If you’re still here, thank you. I guess my little backstory wasn’t so little. I guess my question is…was this really Hecate? Trying to reach me now that I’m actually remembering my dreams again? Or am I just thinking about it all so much I had the dream? I should also mention there was a time I was driving after having one too many drinks a couple months back and I had a voice that wasn’t my own tell me to stay out of the right lane. I obliged cause I’ve always been superstitious, and sure enough I ended up getting stuck in traffic in the left lane and by the time I made it out, there was a pretty nasty wreck that looked like it’d just happened maybe five miles up the road. It was so crazy. But I haven’t had something like that happen since so I wasn’t sure if that was Hecate speaking to me or not. I’ve feared spiritual psychosis a few times and that’s ultimately what led me to let this all go, fearing I was getting too deep into something I knew nothing about. Someone familiar…please help me to make sense of all of this?

Hi all,

I’ve recently left Catholicism, a faith I deeply loved for a time, my reason was because being catholic would condemn me to a lifetime of loneliness and that being catholic also meant I believed in a God who deemed me abominable.

I’ve felt the call to the Goddess and Her Arts for quite some time now, but haven’t the courage to ACTUALLY pray to her.

I’ve written rituals and recipes for spell oils yet I’m terrified of actually praying to her, mainly because I’m afraid that I won’t have the same spiritual experiences I had when I was catholic (ex. the Name of Jesus stopping my sleep paralysis almost immediately.. hearing bells and feeling my room shake as I commanded it to end..)

I want to know and to love Hecate and to be a witch but I don’t know how to let go of this awful fear that if i choose this path i’ll be condemned for it, any advice?

He is so chaotic and he keeps jumping on her altar, I think I'm gonna move it to another spot, cause I'm scared of his tail getting burnt (it almost happened once). But look at that! He's sat there, looking at the candles... 🙂‍↕️😌

And I has asked Hecate to protect him, the irony! Lol. She protects and he says thank you by jumping on her altar and almost getting himself burnt 🤣

This was my very first Deipnon I’ve celebrated ever since i started worshipping Lady Hecate, especially given my religious trauma around almost everything regarding spirituality. I made some aglio e olio (garlic and oil) pasta as an offering and placed it on her altar.

When i went to sleep i had this very vivid dream of celebrating Deipnon at night at a temple dedicate to Hecate with others, and i especially remember her statue holding the burning torch as i placed down the offering there in my dream. I’m still rather new to everything, after years of religious trauma around christianity i was worried that for some reason she would reject me or dislike my offering (christian guilt makes me think stuff like this constantly), but i’d like to think that this dream was a little confirmation that she enjoyed it!

So for reference I am a nonbinary pansexual person who (I don’t have the official diagnosis yet) might be autistic and I was wondering if Hecate was okay with people like me. I have been a Hecate devotee for 2 weeks now however I just wanted to make sure.

Edit: I grew up in church so if you were queer/autistic you had to pray to be “normal” and if you’re an SA survivor then you had to pray for forgiveness (I was SA’ed 3 times) so I have a lot of mental scars

Held my first Deipnon last night and it was magical. I’ve felt drawn to Hekate for years now but never felt like I was ready. Last month I finally felt brave enough to just go for it. I’ve been spending the last almost 2months learning as much about her as I can. Each day I feel closer to her and last night I officially asked her if I can work with her. Needless to say I was so freakin nervous. I drew the Six of Swords and my nerves all washed away. I feel accepted and loved and I can’t wait for my journey ahead.

Does she get mad if you kill a wasp she sends? I’ve just started reaching out to Hecate and today I did a spell, there is now the biggest Hornet I’ve ever seen in my life currently in my bedroom where I keep her alter, it’s alive and I need it not to be because there’s a chance I’m allergic to them. I’m trying to catch it but I don’t want her to be upset if I kill something she sent??

Last night, I believe Hecate came to me in my dreams. In the dream, I was walking alone through a grocery store and I see 3 women standing in one of the aisles. As I approached the women, I realize that 2 of them are talking about basic spell and protection knowledge, while the third was standing slightly off to the side, just listening and watching. To me, this feels as if Hecate is telling me that I need to get back into my spellwork and it's safe to do so now.

To provide a small bit of backstory, and the reason why I think this dream happened. A few months ago, a friend of mine was going through a really rough time. To try and help them out, I decided to let them move into my apartment as a roommate. This was the wrong decision. To put a long story short, lots of disrespect and destruction has led to me telling this person they have to leave. As well as all of that, I have come to realize this person is the one who has been undermining and wrecking everything I have tried to do, spiritually and otherwise. This person leaves tomorrow and I feel like Hecate is telling me that I am okay and safe to go back to my own practice once this person leaves.

My Hekate Altar Is In the top right With the Red Candle. I did A Banishing spell to rid me of a Very toxic Connection That was draining me mentally. I think The Deiphon Landing on his birthday Was the sign I needed that Its the right time to honour the good times i had but Leave his energy behind.

My Fiancee Didnt even mind the Smoke In the morning from the incense.

How do you honor or celebrate imbolc? Do you incorporate Hecate/how? I’m in an apartment with no yard or patio for the second year in a row and last year I felt disconnected from every celebration all year.

Hello all, I was thinking of connecting with Hecate tonight and asking her of a favour.

My boyfriend’s dog is being put down soon, and it’s the first time I’ve ever seen him cry. He means the whole world to me, I love him so much. And I know she’s one with dogs, and the afterlife. He doesn’t believe in this specific spirituality, I’m not too sure if he’s spiritual as it’s not something we’ve talked about. I was wondering if it would be appropriate to speak to Hecate and ask her if she would guide and take his dog alongside her into the afterlife, and if she’d watch over his dog. She’s a good dog, one of the sweetest and welcomed me into his home with many cuddles, and she deserves only the best.
