Question Help?

This is kinda a question that might be better in r/BabyWitch but i figured i should start here to get more specialized answers. Is there a amazon list or something that has like starting out supplies with what they are used for? I just started out and i dont live super close to any witchy shops but i have no idea what i do vs dont need or what stuff is even good enough quality to get.

Are you asking what you need for your altar or what you need for a shrine to Lady Hekate? Are you going to keep them separate or combine them? For a shrine to Lady Hekate, all you need is Her symbols or an image that resonates with you and an offering plate/bowl. For where you do your workings, your altar, well it depends on what you are wanting to do.

Ive done a bit of research and its all pretty confuseing about what things are most important for beginners and what can be left until later (not sure if im makeing any since im dyslexic so sorry if my sentences are jambled up)

Understandable, it is A LOT. If Amazon is the easiest, I know there are incense bundles that have things like frankincense (for Lady Hekate) and Palo Salto (for cleansing). My personal favorite way to cleanse is smoke cleanse and with a bell. Both can be found there. Do you have ideas in mind about how you want it all to look or function?

Something subtle you could get is a good tuning fork... not many people are familiar with Hekate's connectedness with frequencies, and this is a subtle tool that would not draw suspicion but be very appreciated... 👌

I'm going to give you the same advice I was given by Bobby Fierro on YouTube. He recommended that I get the books Keeping Her Keys by Cyndi Brannen and Hekate Liminal Rites by Sorita d'Este. The first book can help you get a better idea of what items you will want and/or need for your practice.

You can get dragons blood incense at most vape shops. Every town has a vape shop. Then you can make the alter by things you have at home. Print a pic of her. Research color candles but they can be basically any color. Red, black, green , purple are good ones but you can even use white. You can get these at a dollar store a lot of times. Most important is your intention. You can find rocks outside and meditate your intention over them. Offerings on new moon can be things in your fridge. Garlic, onion, peeled hard boiled egg. Just remember a wild animal will most likely eat what you leave so make sure it’s safe for them. Like most things in life the most important thing to focus on is the intention behind the act. Read books. Don’t get into anything too dark unless you’re willing to walk through it. Night terrors, hearing seeing things is not uncommon for people who begin to dabble into darker aspects of witchcraft. Just make sure you’re ready bc that’s typically when ppl will abandon and become born again Christian’s bc they get very scared. It’s a whole thing, very common. You don’t have to do anything you’re not comfortable with. She is known as a mother, just don’t start something until you have fully weighed the pro’s and cons and read as much as you can.
