This wonderful resource masterpost!

“She stands overlooking a great void. The endless darkness stretches out before Her, empty but anticipating Her divine inspiration.

She lifts Her finger. The void trembles. Then, a bright flash in the darkness - a galaxy is born. 

She smiles, and the void sings. 

She inhales, and the newborn galaxy is filled with a trillion lives.

She closes Her fingers into a fist, and then, catastrophe. In the distance, a sun explodes, and a trillion lives are brought to an end. 

She weeps, and the void sings. 

She exhales, and a trillion souls are delivered to their Afterlife.”

Hekate the Greek Titaness

Warning: This post is extremely long. Sorry for the length, but this was mostly a devotional act to Hekate anyway

While the Titans ruled the world, Hekate was ordained supreme in the realms of land, sea, and sky. She was highly-respected, if not also a bit obscure. When Zeus began his rebellion, though, she favored him over his father and empowered him to successfully usurp the Titans. After these events, Hekate retained her supremacy in the three worlds, receiving great honor and praise from Zeus himself. Some legends even state that Zeus - the king of the gods - calls upon her mighty power whenever a mortal prays to the gods for favor.

Hekate the Goddess of Crossroads

During both ancient Greek and Roman times, Hekate/Hecate was considered a goddess of transitional states and in-between periods. Among many things, she ruled over entryways and roads, and her altars could often be found near crossroads and city gates. Travelers, traders, pilgrims, and sailors all prayed to her for safe travel. It was also believed that she could bar entry to intruders or evil-doers, and so people erected private altars to her in their homes beside the front door.

She also ruled over transitions in the metaphysical sense. As psychopomp, she trecked across the land on the night of every Dark Moon and gathered the spirits of the newly deceased and the restless dead, shepherding them safely to the afterlife. She embodies this role explicitly in the tale of Persephone. When Persephone first goes to the Underworld, it is Hekate who alerts her mother, Demeter, where she’s gone. Hekate then descends to the Underworld to retrieve her, only to find that Persephone can never fully return to the upper world because she’s already eaten the food of the dead. As a result, Persephone must journey to and from the Underworld twice a year, spending only half the year in either world, and Hekate accompanies her on these journeys.

Hekate the Queen of Witches

The idea of Hekate as a ‘Queen of Witches’ wasn’t extremely popularized until she appeared in Shakespeare’s Macbeth. In it, she is literally depicted as THE Queen of Witches, counseling and dictating the actions of the three Weird Sisters throughout the play. 

She does appear as a Goddess of Witches prior to that, though. Most famously, perhaps, she is the matron goddess of the witch Medea. In that ancient Greek tale, she is a protectress, empowerer, and teacher. Every act of magic that Medea performs is in Hekate’s honor, and in several instances she directly requires Hekate’s assistance to accomplish her goals. 

Hekate has always been associated with witchcraft, enlightenment, and the secret arts of herbalism and magic, however. She is called upon extensively in the Greek Magical Papyri, a 2nd-century-BCE compendium of spells and rituals meant for everything from obtaining a lover to invoking the primordial forces of creation. She also plays an extremely important role in the Chaldean Oracles, a 2nd-century CE set of writings that laid the foundation for Neoplatonic Gnosticism, in which Hecate is seen as the mediating Female Intellect that arose from the original (male) spark of Creation. She was also one of the few exclusive deities honored at the Eleusinian Mystery rituals performed in Ancient Greece, wherein celebrants spent several days imbibing hallucinogenic liquor and channeling the gods in order to uncover the mysteries of life, death, and the universe.  

In some mystery traditions, she is known as the Cosmic World Soul - a subtle life-force that animates everything in nature, similar to Gaia. In this capacity, she embodies everything within our world, including us. 

Some traditions know her as the Axis Mundi (World Axis) - an energetic singularity that our world originates from. It is metaphorically the ‘center’ of our world - a point where the four cardinal directions meet (echoed by the modern technique of casting a Circle and calling the Corners) - where energy can be harnessed and used to commune between higher and lower dimensions. 

Some traditions call her the Soteira (the Savior) - an ultimately beneficent being that actively helps every creature in our world reach spiritual evolution. In this role, her goal is to help us fully integrate our Shadows so that we can escape the cycle of physical reincarnation. 

Regardless of tradition, religion, or historical period, she is always viewed as a strange, liminal, and omnipotent force of both order and chaos. She is powerful, respected, and vital to every story she appears in. She guides and progresses the menial affairs of mortals, and she orchestrates grand paradigm shifts in universal energy. She is both extremely worldly, and also unfathomably celestial.

Hekate in Modern Times

One of the strangest things about Hekate is how universal she can be. Even in ancient times, she was a very wide-spread goddess. She may have been popularized by Greek and Roman culture, but most historians agree that she did not originate in either of those places. Most likely, the ‘Hekate/Hecate’ we know is a Hellenized version of an even older, more obscure goddess. No one is even sure of where her name comes from, because it doesn’t directly translate into any languages of that time period. The best guesses we have as to its meaning? ‘She who wills’. ‘She who works from afar’. ‘The Far-Reaching One’. 

Her transience and universality are true even today. I have met Santeros and Mambos who work with Hekate, and I have met orthodox Kabbalists who work with her as well. I’ve met followers of hers who were Buddhists, Hindus, root workers, Reiki healers, Nordic pagans, and even Native American spiritualists. Somehow, she finds a way into the lives of all her chosen children, and she carves out a spot for herself in whatever paradigm they already follow. 

Those who choose to follow her path often walk a very solitary journey, but she has so many followers within the modern Pagan community that it’s quite hard not to run into a few. She has experienced quite a resurgence within the last hundred years, and dozens of books have been written describing her and her mysteries. She has devotees the world over, and is honored by thousands of them every year in the Rite of Her Sacred Fires - a synchronized, world-wide ritual that occurs every year in May. 

Hekate in My Practice

Hekate tried multiple times to get my attention, and every time she sat back and patiently waited as I ignored her call. It wasn’t until I had been practicing witchcraft for almost five years that I finally was receptive enough to answer. 

When I did, a whole world opened up that I never knew existed. It was as if my eyes had been opened to everything I had been searching for, and - one step at a time - she helped me to achieve all of it. 

She is the goddess of crossroads and transitions, of death and of rebirth. She rules of the affairs of men, and she chooses the victor of every mortal competition. She bestows both providence and damnation, and she leads humans to their ultimate destiny - for better or for worse. She imparts wisdom, compassion, and mercy. She strikes down oppressors and those who wrong her children. She is a devout protectress of travelers, children, and dogs, and she possesses the hidden knowledge of every thing in Nature. 

She is an ever-present, ever-watchful goddess who never, EVER misses a thing. Many of her devotees report that her actions are present in everything, and that she speaks through every occurrence within our day-to-day life. I find that this is entirely true. Her messages can be so subtle yet speak so loudly. She calls out to you in ways that only YOU would understand. A feather falling in front of your face. A specific song playing on the radio. A phone ringing that only you can hear.

Energetically, she feels like a heavy, titanic presence when she enters the room. When she is called upon, everything around you begins to vibrate. It’s as if everything in nature responds when her name is called. She is a goddess that you can tangibly FEEL, and sometimes that doesn’t even accurately describe the experience. She is capable of bending reality in ways that shatter the ego and undo the psyche, and her presence reflects that immensely. 

Symbols

Hounds, especially black ones, whom she travels with through the night

Crossroads, especially three-way crossroads (”forks in the road”)

Tridents

Cliffs, especially where the land meets the sea

High places, such as the tops of buildings, trees, or mountains

Keys, for she holds the key to every locked door

Serpents, for she facilitates rebirth and contains all hidden knowledge

Cemeteries/Graves, for she shepherds the dead

Epithets

An epithet is effectively a title added on to the end of a name to give further meaning or description of that person. In the case of deities, epithets are used to describe a specific ability or domain of that goddess or god, especially when petitioning them for a specific reason. Hekate’s epithets are many, but here are some of my favorites: 

Adamantaea - the unconquerable

Apotropaios - the averting

Brimo - the terrifying

Chthonia - of the earth

Damasandra - the subduer of men

Damnomeneia - the dominating one

Enodia - of the path

Kalliste - the fairest

Phosphoros - the bringer of light

Propylaia - the one before the gate

Soteira - the savior

Trimorphos - the three-formed

Trivia - of the three ways

To Call Upon Hekate

I would never advise AGAINST calling Hekate into your life. Even if you don’t work with deities, or even if you already work with specific deities, she will find a way to fit into your life and help you to improve both your life and yourself. However, she is a demanding task-mistress, and calling upon her should never be done lightly. A common belief among her followers is that, once you open the door to her, she will never leave you alone again. To open the door to her: 

Seclude yourself in a dark, quiet place where you can remain undisturbed. 

Light a single candle - preferably black or red - and set it in front of you. 

Lay out three keys around the candle (they can literally be keys to anything, but a key to your front door is always good to include). 

Meditate with the candle flame, and when you are ready, call her name three times. Speak from the heart, and tell her what it is you seek from her. Finish by thanking her for her time, and by inviting her inside. 

Extinguish the candle and, if possible, allow the smoke to drift out a window. 

“The Mirror of Erised is an ancient, ornate mirror. It has clawed feet and a gold frame inscribed with the phrase ”Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi.“ The mirror shows the most desperate desire of a person’s heart, a vision that has been known to drive men mad.”

Offerings | 🌰

Any kind of flowers/plants

Pomegranates or related items/foods

Bones, bones, bones! (Note: remember to honor the animal that once carried them)

Tarot cards/decks you associate with her

Nuts & seeds! I love giving her hazelnuts, walnuts, almonds, and pumpkin seeds. (Note: do not eat food you offer to her!)

It can be as simple as offering Persephone small fruits like plums, peaches, guayabas, cherries, strawberries, and quenepas.

Anything to do with grains! Bread, pasta, oatmeal, breakfast cereals, tortillas, and grits.

Anything mint related like food, a mint plant, or perfume or gum!

Jewelry! I plan on offering her a tiara/crown

Honey in general is a popular offering for her (any deity tbh)

Lemon-y foods

Poetry/Hymns

Candles that smell of flowers or fruits

Herbs, dried flowers/plants, fruit seeds/pits

Crystals that makes you think of her! Angel aura quartz, rose quartz, agate, & opalite screams her name to me!

Drink wise (pour the drink down the sink/outside once you’ve offered), honey & milk, coffee, hot chocolate, water.

Bat, ram, and deer related items/imagery

Devotions | 🍄

Raise some plants! Take care of plants! Sing to plants! Give all your love to plants!!!! Name them too. (‘: (grow some mint maybe!)

Sing her songs that you associate with her! Or hum the songs! I usually hum “Charon’s Crossing” by Beats Antique because it reminds me of her and I love the idea of Persephone and Kharon being buds.

Muse about your past lives with her (if you believe in the concept)! She is the goddess of reincarnation, so no doubt she’s seen you as many different humans/creatures and loves you all the same.

Celebrate Ostara and Imbolc wth her!

Also honor Persephone during Samhain as she returns to the underworld and Haides.

Walk barefoot in forests/fields (be careful tho of glass and stuff)

Contact some Nymphs and begin working with them since Persephone surrounded herself with them a lot! A UPG of mines is that Persephone is the matron of the elven & fae folk as well hehe

Preform bath rituals in her name. Add some flower petals for a nice touch and as an offering to her!

Ask if she wants to cast a spell with you! You both can work together to cast the spell and hang out. Don’t forget to thank her!

Visit a graveyard and clean up, maybe offer the dead some food like nuts, small cakes, fruits, etc. place out some coins too!

Contact her through bone divination! Or take some flowers and do the “they love me/they loves me not” form of divination with a yes/no question.

Read some poetry about her! There’s so many poetries written about her omehaidkeks so read them aloud to her. Also make one for her!

Make a playlist for her!

Set up a bird feeder outside during spring and summer!

Even simply studying her myths and who she is as a goddess is an act of devotion. So don’t overthink it! Do what feels right in regards of devotional acts towards her!

How to get closer | 🌱

Meditate upon her; channel your godphone and let her voice, touch, and thoughts embrace you. Listen to her & talk to her.

celebrate her associated sabbats with her in her honor. Pamper her and spoil her with lovely offerings (it doesn’t have to be expensive offerings! Give what you can, she will be happy no matter what it may be 🥰)

A lot of people who worship chthonic deities such as Persephone, practice spirit work as well. You don’t have to do this, but I see it as a form of becoming closer with her and understanding her more. I personally have not done this yet and probably won’t for awhile, but I think it would benefit the relationship.

If you are romantic with her (even if you aren’t romantic with her, these are very nice gestures), write love letters, bake her sweet treats with the intent of love and forming a stronger bond, leave a space open for her before you go to bed in case she would like to sleep beside you, ask her to accompany you every other day, muse about her.

Chakras are part of closed practices. Find a different theory on energy centres and how they work. I have my own here but there are many more that exist.

Do your research. Question everything. Don’t follow Tumblr posts blindly. Do your research, make sure that research is credible. Some authors out there are shitty (Edred Thorsson for example). Some Etsy shop owners appropriate. Do your research.

Support minority businesses! Support local businesses!

The best basic herbs to have on hand are: sage, rosemary, cinnamon, thyme, lavender, sea salt. 

For the love of the gods, please ward. The first time you ward, you will most likely sleep upwards of 10+ hours because it is draining as hell but WARD. Wards will keep you safe from entities that seek to harm you.

ALWAYS have a good banishing spell and a good return to sender spell on hand if you need it. Here is Part 1 of a good masterpost on protections and warding.

Always be a skeptic. Don’t just believe things blindly. Is a god telling you they’re an actual god? Question them. Do your research on that god. Always question.

DO NOT INGEST ESSENTIAL OILS. They’re meant to be applied topically with a carrier oil. Don’t ingest them.

Some herbs will interact with your medication if you’re on them. If you’re on medication and want to try herbal remedies, talk to your doctor to make sure that your herbal remedy won’t negatively interact with your medication.

Tarot cards don’t need to be gifted or stolen in order to work. That’s a myth. However, if you feel like you’d like your tarot decks to be gifted to you, do that. Whatever you’re comfortable with.

Your first tarot deck doesn’t have to be explicitly Raider Waite Smith. My first deck was a variation on the traditional RWS style and it allowed me to read tarot more intuitively.

There’s no shame in using a tarot guidebook. There’s 78 cards that’s a LOT to memorize. I haven’t memorized them all and I’ve been reading tarot for two years now. Take your time and don’t be embarrassed to read tarot from a guidebook. I do paid tarot readings and still use my guidebooks.

If you’re worried about wasting food as an offering, it’s okay to eat them. I do it. Many others do it. If you’re still wary about eating the food, if you have plant friends, you can just bury the offerings (especially relevant for chthonic worshippers).

The Theoi website is one of the best for information on Hellenism. Every thing written on that website is cited back to an Ancient Greek text, or even several.

PLEASE PRACTICE FIRE SAFETY. If you’re burning an object in a metal bowl, don’t touch the bowl afterwards. You may burn yourself. Have something to put out a fire on hand should something happen. Don’t burn hair. Crack a window so you don’t inhale smoke. Be safe with fire.

Hail, crescent-crowned goddess, adorned with the horns of a bull, whose voice is molten silver! Empress of the night sky, mistress of the seas, winged emerald of the celestial sphere, I praise thee, goddess.

Hail to the mother of dreams, all-nourishing mother of the seasons, daughter of the bright heavens; you promise all hope to mortals, you beckon us toward renewal and eternal life.

All praise to the white-armed goddess of the tides, goddess of blood: the ocean dances to your pleasure; the sea reaches out for you longingly. Your ceaseless rhythm resounds in our veins, o holy queen of all that you survey.

Wrapped in the rosy arms of your sister, singing your brother’s praises back to him, you beam down on mortals and remind us of the glory of darkness. Without you, the night has no sweetness.
