I’m watching a silly Bravo reality tv show and to my delight one of the cast members has a *pet magpie* named *Hecate!* Cool, frightening, concerning, empowering, a mix of all of the above? Hopefully someone else shares my amusement.
So, I have to perform a banishing ritual with Hecate, and I need help with chants for her. I have to perform an exorcism 😭😭
I've already bought everything I'm going to use, but I really need help with the words. I feel like I can't get them from Pinterest because everything there is formulated by AI. I feel like if I ask people who are more experienced in this matter might be able to help.
This is my frist post, I use Google Translator to make easy to understand.
Baby witch here. Made an offering to H today to thank her for recent protections on a trip and this is how the candles burn. Why do my altar candles do this. I looked into it online and it says my intentions and energy is off? Anybody else get this? Thanks in advance
so okay quick summary.. I started my journey with her about 7 years ago and was doing very well, but I fell for a man who took me so far back on my witches journey to the point I almost thought about giving up that part of my life for him. the relationship ended and I made some terrible mistakes and started ruining my life for awhile.. during one incident I heard her very angry at me and eventually I stopped ruining my life and came back to my path, but I don't feel her like I used to. I know she gives space to grow but it's been like 2 years now. any tips on how to overcome this guilt I have and a daily devotion I could do. Normally I would do what I know but as I work on my grown ego I've decided to listen to others again on the parts I believed for so long on how to do myself. have a blessed day and may the sun always shine on your head.
Hey all! I'm wondering if there are folks out there like me but who are further along in organizing this kind of information.
I love studying this stuff and want to start writing about it, but I want to be mindful of when and how I label things that are historical from personal interpretations (mine or others). Formatting and tags/labels seem like one way, structured data is another (YAML front matter in a markdown file for example).
I believe both kinds of information are important, but it is crucial to be able to point to what's actually historical vs interpretations that have occurred over time. I in no way think UPG is bad, but I think it's important to be as transparent as possible what's UPG vs what's not. I realize it's not always black and white either, especially with syncretism over time, etc.
Curious how other people are doing this, because surely it can't just be me thinking of this! (Why yes I am a former librarian, why do you ask?)
I'm (hellenic polytheist and witch) searching to buy a book/books about Hekate (history, culture, offerings, magic, etc...). I'm on a 20€ budget but could go up maybe 5€.
I already have two propositions, though i'd like to know what these books cover in detail and which are "better".
Both are by Sorita d'Este (circle for Hekate: vol 1 and liminal rites)
I have an Ebook version of Magika hiera (not read yet) so no need to mention it, i've seen it mentioned multiple times by hekatean witches and such.
Hello,
I think Hecate has been showing herself to me for the past few months. I know almost nothing about her and I would love to know more. Can anyone help me?
She started making her presence known to me after a major loss in my life.
For some background, I come from a family of psychic mediums and I am one myself. The gift gets passed down. I got it from my maternal grandfather.
Not many people know this about me, not even my closest friends. I’ve always just been able to see beyond the veil and only recently came to terms with that part of myself. I’m naturally a bit witchy. I’ve always had a complicated and interesting history with religion…I grew up Christian.
I’m not practicing though. Well, I won’t go too deeply into that but..
These keys appeared after I started thinking about her more. I’ve tried to avoid her but now I think I’m ready to learn more. I thought it was very cool and I felt this surge of energy run through me.
I performed a cord cutting spell and my candle went out before the other. does that mean I did the spell wrong? they both burned the same until they got to the last of the wax. then mine quickly fizzled but the other kept going. I finally blew it out.
