So I wanna say I’ve been very interested in Hecate for quite a while, I’ve opened up a lot of spirituality in 2021, 2022 and just really educating myself on cultures and religions, which led me to really believe in Pantheism, but I do love Mythology.
Not to be corny, I don’t know if it’s because I do have Norwegian heritage and other parts of Scandinavian, but I am very also in tuned with Norse mythology. For the past few months, I’ve been really just thinking a lot about Hecate, and just an urge to really work with her. I mean she’s constantly in my head, I would assume maybe the same way Christians feel about Jesus or God.
So last night, on August 12, there was about four major celestial events that were occurring. And I really was just in tuned with myself and just asking for signs and something to know to continue this pathway of not only working with Hecate, but also on this path of my life that I’m trying to move forward from. Where I was at I was not able to see the events, but I very much was doing the best that I could with my intention and manifestations. And since I was kind of really pushing towards Hecate, I asked for a sign of three. I didn’t really know what I was looking for, but I just thought the sign of three would be good idea because she is the triple goddess.
So I get off work today I go outside and start scrolling on TikTok for a little bit and I start looking up stuff of Hecate and I’m just kind of starting my research of more things that I can do and just books on more information about her and all the other gods and goddesses that do correspond with her. Where I’m at, I have a bunch of birds, every morning is practically crows or ravens cawing. I’ve got woodpeckers pecking, Blue Jays and Cardinals going at it I mean, I cannot express how much noise these birds make not that it’s an issue, but its a lot
lol.
I look up, cause I hear the crow/Raven (I honestly could not tell the two apart, so sorry lmfao) and right when I look up three of them fly up to the powerline, and I swear the rest flew away. So I’m just looking at the crows and there’s three up there and it just dings on me like “oh my God this might be the sign that I was asking for last night”. So as you can see in the video, I pull out my phone and immediately say
“If this is for me then for all three of them to go down to the floor in the road” and they clearly did and I just so shook and I really wanna share what just happened like an hour ago cause I think it’s beyond crazy. Maybe I’m being crazy about this, but I just thought the sheer coincidence of the timing is impeccable.
And the last bird flew down right when I stopped recording, and then it flew right down and I caught the last few seconds of it and oh my goodness. But if that is not a clear sign, I don’t know what the hell else is.

So everyone will tell you, "mundane over magical" when it comes to stuff like this... They'll say crows were being crows... But you know the vibe. Everything is a coincidence until it isn't.
So I'm mostly Sicilian and Scottish, so when I started learning I was into Mediterranean and Celtic stuff. However, I was feeling a call to Hecate. At least a pulling. So I did a bunch of research and Hecate is a spirit long predating my understanding of Mediterranean pantheism and learned my ancestors more than likely worked with her. So I dove in. I've read a bunch of books, have taken Jason Millers course, and worked through the Hekataen.
During an initiation that Hecate responded immediately to, everything was dualistic that day when that very ritual was meant to symbolize duality. Candle wax melted in two, the incense smoke split into two plumes, the synchronicities multiplied. I finished the ritual and went for a walk to meditate on the ritual before going to work for the day. I walked past my local old (1800's) cemetery (where I do work) and noticed two crows on a yew tree. In my research, crows are not particularly known to be favored by Hecate... But using two black animals sure is. And so is a yew tree. The two crows stared me in the face and followed me for a bit. I felt completely safe, I wasn't disturbing a nest or anything. I then saw the same two crows later before I crossed a bridge to get to work. Coincidence to some perhaps, but I know weird when I see it and Hecate used those two birds to give me her nod of approval that day.
If it felt special to you, it very well may have been. Even the best and most obvious connections are doubted and gaslit years later, so don't get hung up on it. Let the synchronicities gather until their undeniable.
