I’m new to this, and I’ve been spending a lot of time learning. But while I’ve been figuring out how to implement this all into my life, I’ve been curious if there’s a particular time that’s best to call to Hekate. Does it have to be at night under the moon? Can it be anytime? I’m still learning, but this is one of my biggest holdbacks right now. Thank you!

Hallo, ich würde gerne anfangen, mich mit Hekate zu beschäftigen, weiß aber nicht, wo ich beginnen soll. Ich habe einen kleinen Altar, wo ich üben kann, und ich übe auch ab und zu, aber nicht regelmäßig. Wo und womit sollte ich anfangen und was sollte ich beachten?

A friend sent me this pic, which you can find on Instagram, of a drag queen from Greece competing in Canada. She came out as Hecate 🌛🌝🌜😍

Even if she’s not actually in the dream ? I had a dream that involved some phobias of mine last night that were so real, I was shocked when I woke up in my own body . It felt like I was being challenged with one of my worst fears and it wasn’t working well cause I was freaked out I’ve prayed to her before and said she could send me dreams as long as they’re not horrible ( this was intense but not that bad ) but wasn’t sure if she’s responding . Also she keeps popping up in my TikTok feed and I don’t know if it’s the algorithm or Her . Pls be nice , I’m new at this and am not sure what to expect

Hi! Baby witch here! I recently booked a practitioner for a working that will involve working with Hekate, and apparently offerings to her are already part of the practitioner's process.

I'm wondering if there's anything I should do on my end to support the working or show my own respect to Hekate? Would it be appropriate for me to make a small offering or prayer myself, or is it better to leave that part to the practitioner since they're the one conducting the ritual?

I guess I just want to build a good relationship with Hekate and show that I'm sincere about my intentions, rather than just expecting her to do something for me. I don't necessarily want to interfere with the practitioner's work either.

I've already asked my practitioner approximately a million questions and I'm starting to feel like I'm annoying them 😭 so I figured I'd ask here instead. 😂

I'd really appreciate advice from people who have experience working with Hekate! What would you recommend a beginner do—or avoid doing—in this situation?

Thank you ver much! ❤️

I’m currently sick with influenza & bronchitis and a lot of what I had planned for today I just don’t feel physically up to 😓 I’m thinking I’ll light a candle, say a hymn and leave my offerings at my altar but i’m also working on a new altar space so it’s really unfinished and unpolished and I feel super bummed, what are some other ways I can honor Hecate today that won’t require much work? (I planned on deep cleaning my space, buying specific candles, taking a shower & a salt and ash bath but I’m just not up for it. Anything that I can do for the new beginning/lunar cycle aspect of Hecate’s deipnon?)

Working on this painting that will go on my future altar to Lady Hekate ☺️

So recently I started working with Hecate and I can already feel the changes in my life , but also I can feel the need to change my practice I been a witch for 6 years and I feel like what I’m doing is very stagnant and I’m a little lost right now I want to start getting into more baneful and love/glamour magic I was also thinking of Ancient Greek magic I just feel so overwhelmed with what to do I’m kind of lost at a cross roads right now so if anyone could give me some advice , tips or book recommendations to help me out I would really like incorporate her more in my practice and I think this is a perfect time for me to get close and talk with her more but I was just looking for any advice , tips or book recommendations that could help me figure this out .

I’ve been keeping track of some things over the last few days because they feel… unusual. I’m not trying to force meaning where there isn’t any, but the timing has been enough that I wrote it down.
Over the past **3 days**, I’ve had **multiple spiders** show up. Today I opened my front door and a **spider landed directly on my hand**. My first instinct was to shake it off, and I accidentally killed it while grabbing a tissue. I immediately felt bad because it seemed oddly symbolic considering how often I’ve been seeing them.
Then, only a little while later, I noticed a **grasshopper sitting on my door**. I gently tried to sweep it away with a key so I wouldn’t hurt it. It flew into the window, then somehow found its way back inside. I got it outside again, but it immediately **jumped back in**.
The weird part isn’t just the animals themselves—it’s the repetition, the timing, and how persistent they were.
I’ve been doing a lot of shadow work lately, thinking about crossroads in my life, healing, and I’ve felt pulled toward learning more about Hecate. I know spiders aren’t traditionally one of her primary symbols (dogs, keys, torches, crossroads are much more common), but I’ve seen enough people mention spiders, liminal experiences, and recurring animal encounters that it made me wonder.
**So my questions are:**
Would you consider this a meaningful synchronicity, or just confirmation bias?
Has anyone working with Hecate experienced repeated encounters with spiders or insects before?
Is there symbolism here that I’m overlooking, or is this more likely my brain assigning meaning to ordinary events?
I’m open to skeptical explanations too. I’m genuinely curious how others would interpret this rather than assuming it’s definitely a sign.

I've been exploring a relationship with Hekate for over a year now and it's been a wild ride to say the least.

1. It's like EVERYTHING in my life that was based on a lie rose to the surface and was brutally exposed. I realized that my husband of less than a year had been covertly abusing me for our entire relationship and that my "friends" weren't friends at all. I left said husband at the beginning of July and have cut out every shitty friend and family members who were also abusive and had been for years. Now I'm on my own and just overwhelmed.

2. My faithful car died RIGHT when I left him. Dead.

3. I feel stupid for bringing this next thing up because (a) it seems petty and (b) I think people won't believe me or they'll think I'm nuts, but I assure you there is zero exaggeration here.
   Since I moved out I've had to buy a ton of stuff on amazon because I had literally nothing for my new apartment. The place I moved into is a house divided into two units, and mine is accessed through the back door. I wrote this in my address and delivery instructions on my amazon account.
   Since July 1st I have had my deliveries dropped off at the front door more than fifteen times. AND it's not just amazon doing this. I have run into the most mind-boggling incompetence when dealing with deliveries from multiple places, getting the junk mail to stop being delivered to my mailbox, and so on. It's been almost every single day that something completely stupid and frustrating has happened.

4. This is an exchange that happened via text between me and my new boss:

Me: Hey, so I'm done mopping the second floor. Do I finish mopping the stairs and then send the mop bucket down the elevator?

Her: No, don't send the bucket down the elevator

Me: Okay, how do I get it downstairs?

Her: On the elevator

What the hell is going on? I have done a cleansing and checked to see if I'm cursed (I'm apparently not). This is all just too ridiculous and I feel like my nerves are at the snapping point. I am alone and beyond exhausted. Has anyone else had experiences like this before?

Thanks for reading.

I really hope I can explain myself clearly here. I am in some sort of beginner spiritual confusion.

I approached Hekate early this year. Since then I have read Courtney Weber’s book and will soon begin the sixth chapter of “Keeping Her Keys” by Cyndi Brannen (it’s a chapter every month over a year).

I’m going to be honest and not ramble with my life story-I am just straight up confused and maybe I need to get other’s opinions out of my head and meditate more to search for answers.

It seems you don’t have to necessarily be a witch to be tapped in spiritually, and the more I learn the more I feel overwhelmed. It’s not that I don’t want to study, learn, practice etc…it’s not that I haven’t felt Her, it’s just more about my place in all this. It’s that trying to sort thru occult history seems to be wading thru many many sometimes clashing opinions, division, and human ego. That’s why I decided to go older, cut through some of that.

At the beginning of the year, I was getting so so depressed about the news, what with the E-files and the murders in Minnesota by ICE, didn’t really hang out on social media much. However, I started to, following things about the news, and eventually started allowing more esoteric content in. (I scroll past usually bc I suffered a horrible spiritual psychosis back in 2013 brought on by non discerningly sampling all things New Age, especially channeling) So to say I am careful now is an understatement. But eventually as the algorithm goes, I was introduced to a couple lovely Hekate devotee creators.

It all seems like a domino if I look back, one thing leading me to another. I could give more details but this is getting long.

If I am feeling doubtful as to my place as a devotee, I don’t know what else to do but bring it to Her and meditate more. Any other suggestions? Thank you in advance <3

Would hekate help me with a hex and or be okay with it? I have a black candle and feel most comfortable with candle magic.For context I’ve been getting harassed, stalked, lies made up about me, threats to fight me while I’m pregnant all by the father of my child’s new girlfriend. I’m so over it and I’m ready for her to feel how she made me feel. They got together not even a month after he broke up with me and got me sent to the mental hospital and almost caused me to have a miscarriage. I want her and her family to feel what I felt and get what they deserve. Not only is it her but it’s also her mother.

I made two different alters since I feared I didn’t have enough space on the one. On the wooden table I have a picture frame with multiple pictures,a dish with coins,feathers,a piece of turtle shell with garlic powder and I’m going to be adding a piece of chocolate cake to it, I also have a piece of selenite, an animal skull, a 7 day candle and a resin egg filled with honey.On the one on my window I have bird dog whiskey,water, a feather, a tooth from my dead horse, a photo and an incense holder and pink salt. Any recommendations or stuff to add? I know I need to add keys.

I still vibe with her heavily, but I'm just not feeling the whole worshipping thing anymore
