Worshipping Hecate.

By now, I know all the basics, I’ve read some books, I have her Orphic hymn, I’ve created some of my own, I’ve built kharis.

What’s like the next level of books I could read? The only ones I find are telling her story, mythos and stuff but I’ve already read that.

Please help with new books or what next step I can take.

If you know any devotional acts I could do that are not the basics (I’ve done most of them) or other things I could do to honor her. I’ll be grateful if yall let me know.

Depictions

I’ve been having troubles with my shrine since my family is hyper noisy, when I pray, could I pray with an image that I have in my phone?? Because I don’t like to have my drawing about Hecate folded and in small hidden places because I find it disrespectful.

Reading

I know that maybe this place isn’t where I should be asking for this, but a need someone that can do me a reading. Please.

I performed a spell, to another witch, because she tried to hurt and get into my friends life’s so I did what I had to, to defend them.

And she did suffer it, she took it off herself and today, something pretty weird happened to me, I wanna know if she returned it and that’s why it happened or if it was just something meant to be.

Please help

Altar

Mi madre y mi hermana entraron a mi habitación mientras estaba en la escuela. Destrozaron mi altar y creo que tiraron las imágenes de Hécate que tenía y todo lo demás.

Así que tal vez no pueda rezar con un altar, y le había prometido a Hécate que estudiaría sobre ella e investigaría la mayor parte del tiempo los miércoles y sábados, pero no creo que pueda hacerlo.

He pensado en dejar de escribir sobre lo que aprendo y simplemente leer y rezar. Al menos hasta que todo se calme.

¿Algún consejo? ¿O alguna sugerencia sobre qué podría hacer?

I can’t help but feel so bad, I know she won’t get mad or anything but it’s so disrespectful, my mother called her a demon… I even wanna cry.

Magic performance as a Hellenic

Performing spells like a hex to someone who hasn’t done anything to you, is wrong and produces miasma, I know. But what about to someone who hasn’t done anything done bad to you, in any way ?

Or a love spell, it could produce Hamaritia? Like a spell for someone to start having feelings for you?

And if you do it, even knowing that it could be wrong , it could provoke even more miasma?

And what could be the “right” version of it to do if it is wrong ? Like what could make someone start having feelings for you that wouldn’t produce hamaritia ?

By the way, those are examples, because a love spell is what could mostly interfere with someone’s free will.

Hecate goddess of ?

I’ve just read a comment section (on TikTok, lol) which said that Hecate isn’t really the goddess of magic and witchcraft, that it’s just a modern interpretation. That she was just the Goddess of crossroads, liminal spaces, etc.

But I wonder, if she was not the goddess of witchcraft, Why in the PGM most of spells invoke her or involve her in some way? Also in the myths, why did Medea and Circe entrust themselves to her?

Some people said that in Ancient Greece magic was something profane and punishable, but for I know, the only type of magic that was rejected in society was the one to make other people sick, or love spells and rituals.

I have this horrible feeling that my sister will see my altar, so I had to undo it, could Hecate get displeased by it ?

Background, my older sister is pretty noise, she doesn’t mind her business and when I’m out she checks my closet, which in the bottom part, hidden, was her altar.

She has read my notebook with my prayers and all the research I’ve done about Hecate when I was out, and I left it in my bed, and we don’t even share room, she got it and just read it. I am so mad that, that same day she told me I was a satanic lunatic and that I pray to demons, I hated that she called Hecate that. I mean she read my stuff and thought she was a demon? She’s way dumber than I thought.

To be worst, her and my mother are Jehovahs witnesses, they even call me satanic for liking horror movies. Gods get me out of here.

Back to the point, could Hecate get mad at me or displeased by so ? Where could I leave her offerings?

How can we know if Hecate isn’t interested in us ?
What are the signs?

If she answers our prayers, we feel the connection, have an altar, honor her, and we feel her, does it mean she is accepting us ? Or just having us sometime and then she’ll leave us ?

I worship her for like 2 or almost 3 months now, and it has been the best experience ever, I feel confident, happy, and I’m blessed in every way I could think of, but sometimes I feel like our “relationship” is weird.

I’ve read that Hecate gives and takes however her mood pleases, and when I have like the feeling she has gotten mad or something, I feel like I lose everything I feel she has given me.

I would think that the feeling is just because of the environment I grew up in or my family’s Jehovahs witnesses roots that makes me mess up my own mind, but since I’ve read that she gives and takes however she pleases, I get to the point to think she is actually mad.

Can someone please give me any advice or help on how to deal with that ?
