Little reminder for any hellenist in college looking for articles/research papers on different deities to check out Jstor!!! It’s a database of academic resources, and a lot of universities automatically give students access to it. I had an art history professor recommend it as a source to find reputable articles and books for writing and it’s honestly just a really good site to have on hand in general!

I’ve managed to find some rlly interesting information abt different deities and how they’ve been perceived!! It’s super fun to just go hunting for different deities and info :]

Important facts about Hekate, the goddess of witchcraft, night, necromancy, and ghosts

During her earliest appearance in Hesiod's book 'Theogony', she was depicted as a goddess with dominion over the earth, sea, and sky; her later appearances, however, made her a goddess of the Underworld associated with magic and witchcraft.

In comparison to Selene, goddess of the moon, who represents the calmness of the night, Hekate represents its terrors and darkness.

Artemis (also considered a goddess of the moon), Selene, and Hekate were sometimes worshiped together due to their similarities, especially in Rome. They were worshiped as a triad mostly by women and children.

People made an offering for her when they were about to work with magic or the dead.

She aided Demeter in search of her daughter Persephone

She is a Liminal Goddess because she can easily move from the Underworld to the real world. She is the 'guide', that is why she is depicted with torches and is described as the one who can unlock the ''gates of death'' by Theocritus.

She is tightly associated with Eleusinian Mysteries, the secret celebrations of Demeter and Persephone.

She had a few temples and cults in Greece and small household shrines to ward off evil.

I've started getting into witchcraft recently, and I've decided to start worshiping and working with Apollo. And I don't have an altar yet, but I jokingly asked him if he wanted some dried banana chips, because I was eating them. And I felt him guiding me, and my hand, which I took as yes. The vibe I got, he seemed excited about it.

So yeah, my first offering to Apollo, is dried bananas. Just some banana chips on a shelf. That's Apollo's altar right now

locing my hair as a black witch was vital to my spiritual journey.

being able to maintain the balance, health, growth, and lusciousness of my crown feels so much like i’m truly one with the earth.

i’m now trying to include intentions in my hair care with hair growth spells while i spray it with rose water.

fridays which are represented with the planet venus, along with Aphrodite symbolizing self care, i’m going to start offering a care 444 crown treatment which is a spiritual smoke cleanse, a scalp massage, and a crystal charge activation to the crown.

locs are truly, truly beautiful

blessed be <3
