Any advice on strengthening ones relationship with Hekate?. Thank you kindly.

Hello 👋🫂

One of the amazing things about Lady Hekate Nyctipolus is how broad her domain is. She has so many forms and facets, so take everything I say with a grain of salt! She appears in unique ways for everyone.

Many of her followers associate her with witchcraft. I personally don't consider myself a witch, so I'm a little distanced from this aspect of her. But if you do practice some form of witchcraft, perhaps you can start dedicating your spell work to her.

If you engage in spirit work, ancestor work, death work, deity worship more broadly, etc, you might consider asking Lady Hekate to aid in that communication. And for her protection in her role as a death/underworld goddess. I know she acts as a guide for many of her followers (myself included!)

Communication is definitely key (pun intended) for many Hekate worshipers. Getting into a specific kind of divination (I personally prefer tarot, but there also pendulums, meditation, etc) can help strengthen that relationship. She is the patron of boundaries and thresholds after all! Find a way to breach that wall has been a personal favorite way of connecting for me.

For me, I think I sense Lady Hekate most clearly in those 'in-between places.' I love going out for nighttime drives and finding her at empty intersections, in abandoned buildings, in any space that feels liminal.

And, of course, go ahead and ask her! In my experience, Lady Hekate is one of the more 'receptive' or 'quick to answer' deities that I work with. That's not to say that she is at your beck and call, she definitely demands focus and commitment. But she's also very dedicated to her followers just like they're dedicated to her.

Ask her in your own way with whatever divination tool you prefer how to advance that relationship! Start offering antique keys or vintage things or flowers and see how she responds! I personally don't buy the whole 'you have to wait eagerly for a sign from Lady Hekate before you start working with her.'

She can be intimidating and intense certainly, but not necessarily in a frightening way. Just in a way that demands respect. So as long as your approach her with good intentions, I'm sure she'll be willing to listen.

Thanks for the ask!

just tried to connect with hekate, hoping it works. its my first time trying to connect with a deity although i've done it on accident before. weird, right? natural witchy brain i suppose. reading about modern witchcraft and just couldn't stop thinking about hekate after her first mention so i took it as a sign and used the books method of reaching out to her. carving my name into a black candle, turning all the lights off then lighting it well saying "hekate, queen of witches. I, (your name) am a witch and i call upon you! i ask that you bless me as i walk this path. guide me as i work my magic, so i might make the best possible choices. light my way with your wisdom. this i ask as a witch and a woman. so mote it be" i have zero idea if this works but yk i did it anyway, its worth a shot. blessed be, friends

Deity Guide - Hekate

One phrase to describe this Goddess? It’s complicated!

Who is Hekate?

Often called the Goddess of Witchcraft, Hekate (or Hecate) is a Greek goddess who reigns over many domains. She is associated with magic, witchcraft, the moon, necromancy, and spirits. She is also known to be the goddess of boundaries, crossroads, doorways, and, due to being a Goddess of these liminal spaces, became a Goddess of the darkness of the underworld.

Hekate was also worshipped as a hearth goddess, and was thought to protect the home.

The other two deities in the tripartite with Hekate are Persephone and Demeter according to some; to others, the other two are Artemis and Selene or Diana and Luna. In other forms it is simply her threefold nature that makes her a triple goddess.

Specifically in Rome they would celebrate Hekate in conjunction with Diana and Luna as three aspects of the same deity.

Parents and Siblings

Parents could include:

Perses and Asteria (most popular/common)

Zeus and Asteria

Zeus and Hera

Nyx

Sibling could include:

Chariclo from Pereses and Asteria

Any of Zeus’ other children

Any of Nyx’s other children

Lovers or Partners

Some believe her to be a virgin goddess and is unmarried.

Phorbus or Phorcys

Aeetes

Children

(If you believe that she is not a virgin goddess)

Aegialeus

Circe

Empusa

Medea

Scylla

Epithets

Perseis

Apotropaia, the one that turns away/protects.

Brimo, angry/terrifying.

Chthonia, of the earth/underworld.

Enodia, she on the way/road.

Klêidouchos, holding the keys.

Kourotrophos, nurse of children.

Krokopeplos, saffron cloaked.

Melinoe

Phosphoros or Lampadephoros, bringing or bearing light.

Propolos, who serves/attends.

Propulaia/Propylaia, before the gate.

Soteria, savior.

Trimorphe, three-formed.

Triodia/Trioditis, who frequents crossroads.

Notes

She likely started out as a singular deity, only becoming a tripartite in later literature.

She was a triple goddess long before he invention of the Triple moon goddess from Wicca, though the two get conflated with each other regularly.

In modern practice to some in her triple goddess form, she embodies the “crone”, Persephone embodies the “Maiden”, and Demeter is the “Mother”, one of the biggest examples of the modern “Maiden, Mother, Crone” trope.

She was popular among the witches of Thessaly.

Since the Romans assimilated her into their pantheon, Hekate is sometimes considered to be the same deity as Artemis and Selene. Even though older texts give no evidence of Hekate in relation to the moon.

Though often depicted as dark or even crude, the older texts depict Hecate as warm, “tender-hearted”, and generous.

That being said, in some texts she’s known specifically for being cruel.

Archeologists have found “curse tablets” where a person would write out a curse on lead foil and roll it up before dropping it down a well.

Hekate was often left offerings of dog meat.

She is often depicted in art holding one or two torches or holding a key.

Her name may come from the Greek word Hekatos, which means “worker from afar”.

Her name could also come from Greek Hekas meaning "far off" or "remote".

She would often have shrines built for her in people’s homes and at crossroads.

Despite being the goddess of magic, offerings were sacrificed to her at household altars to ward off and protect individuals or households from witchcraft.

As the sun dips low over the horizon I hear the many raucous howls of numerous Canidae All heralding the arrival of two passing gods Beloved to man's best friend are they, the night-wandering duo Night delighting Hekate and Hermes that never tire

Infinite paths, infinite roads they traverse Their presence undenied Calls for their many mysteries unanswered Cried for by all beasts, the living, and the dead They hear my many praises for the torch-bearing liminal guides Both an echo of theirs and fuel for many more Both terrible and gracious are they, ever in motion

Busy Angelos' presiding over the earth, water, and sky Life and death, luck and misfortune with the ability to give and take All beneath your heel, all bound by your hand's grip You, the divine pair whom the Kharites Triple goddesses of moderation rejoice in

Hekates Deipnon

Hekates Deipnon is the last day of the month in the Attic (Athenian) Calendar. At the darkest time of the month, when the moon is absent in glow, we invite 'Ekate phosphoros (Hekate bringer of light) into our homes. We prepare for the new month by cleansing and cleaning our homes, body and mind.

In ancient times the day was held to honor Hekate and placate vengeful spirits. She was said to lead up unavenged and wrongfully killed spirits from the underworld, accompanied by hounds. The household was purified and members who might have disrespected Hekate atoned, so that she might not withhold her favor from them.

Historically the day was celebrated with three rituals.

1. a meal set at a crossroads

2. expiation

3. purification

While we might not celebrate exactly as the Ancient Greeks, there are other ways modern practioners and devotees can include Hekate's Deipnon in their monthly calenders.

Traditional Offerings:

Leeks

Eggs

Garlic

Sweeping the home

Things you don't want to bring into next month

Traditional Acts:

Cooking a meal for the gods

Cleaning and Cleansing

Donate a meal/food

Tending the home

Purifying Altars

Paying debt

Set offerings at a crossroads, whether it be on your altar, at a intersection, or where roads meet.

Fulfill your to-do lists and plan for the month ahead. You might wish to dispose of your months Kathiskos. A hymn to Hekate can be found here.

I have a question if hecate is a goddess of witchcraft and Circe is a goddess of sorcery what’s the difference between those two things? I’m having a hard time finding information on the difference between those. so if you know anything or could direct me in the right direction that would be lovely. 😊

(I’m not too familiar with the two goddess but the two different titles had me a bit curious)

hello friend ! i don't think I can put it more clear than this excerpt from this research paper published in 2019 on Greek Magic:

The term magic, from its earliest roots, indicates something out of the ordinary, since the Greek terms, magikē or mageia, refer to the activity of magoi, the Greek word for certain Persian priests. The terms first appear in Greek texts around the time of the PERSIAN WAR, but although some sources (such as HERODOTUS) seem to be referring to actual Persians, many of the earliest witnesses use the term to describe a Greek ritual practitioner whose extravagant claims to extraordinary power are viewed with suspicion....Other terms are applied in Greek in similar ways and often to the same phenomena (pg. 1).

Goētia, the work of the goēs, refers to extraordinary thaumaturgical power but usually has a negative connotation. Epaoidē is an incantation, a song or spell with performative efficacy. The word pharmakon is used to mean drug or poison, but also magic spell or incantation (that is, something that creates a powerful effect in an unknown way), and the masculine pharmakeus and (even more often) feminine pharmakis are terms for those who use magic spells to harm others. All these terms are used in Greek to label people and actions that fall, in the opinion of the speaker, outside the normal order. Such people and actions, whether explicitly so labelled or not, may thus fall under the modern rubric of magic (pg. 2)

— Magic, Greek, Radcliffe G. Edmonds III, Bryn Mawr College. please let me know if I linked it wrong, it's a pdf so i did my best.

the word sorcery first appeared around 1200-1300 AD. wayyyy after the ancient practicing helpols. you see people refer to Kirke and Hekate as a goddess of sorcery/witchcraft just because those words now carry the definition of the old words the Hellas used. or at least, they're close enough. so, there is no difference besides in terminology. pharmakon and some baneful curse tablets are about as close as the Hellas got to what we now see as witchcraft.

Hekate, historically, is very rarely a Goddess of witchcraft as we know it today. She was known to be invoked in the aforementioned curse tablets occasionally, and as a Kthonic psychopomp She would have been associated with the oracles of the dead and the art of nekromankia/necromancy or the summoning of the ghosts from the underworld. She was also a Goddess of spirits and was one of two main Gods to lead the dead to the underworld (this is where many of Her torch-bearing epithets come from in my experience).

the idea that She's a Goddess of modern witchcraft, i believe, comes from the conflation of the modern definition of "witchcraft" and Hellenic pharmakon. we see this in this excerpt which Theoi.com lists under Her "witchcraft" associations:

"[The following is a rationalisation of the Hekate myth :] We are told that Helios (the Sun) had two sons, Aeetes and Perses...and that both of them were exceedingly cruel. And Perses had a daughter Hekate, who surpassed her father in boldness and lawlessness...Being likewise ingenious in the mixing of deadly poisons she discovered the drug called aconite and tired out the strength of each poison by mixing it with food given to the strangers. And since she possessed great experience in such matters she first of all poisoned her father, and so succeeded to the throne, and then, founding a temple of Artemis and commanding that strangers who landed there should be sacrificed to the goddess, she became know far and wide for her cruelty. After this she married Aeetes and bore two daughters, Kirke (Circe) and Medea, and a son Aigialeus (Aegialeus). Although Kirke also, it is said devoted herself to the devising of all kinds of drugs and discovered roots of all manner of natures and potencies such as are difficult to credit, yet, notwithstanding that she was taught by her mother Hekate about not a few drugs."

— Diodorus Siculus, Library of History 4. 45. 1 ff (trans. Oldfather) (Greek historian C1st B.C.)

and we see this emphasis on herbal brew again here in Maeda's play:

"There is a girl [Medea] living in Aeetes' palace whom the goddess Hekate has taught to handle with extraordinary skill all the magic herbs that grow on dry land or in running water. With these she can put out a raging fire, she can stop rivers as they roar in spate, arrest a star, and check the movement of the sacred moon.’"

— Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica 3. 529 ff

so it isn't wrong to call Hekate a Goddess of craft, but its important to understand what "witchcraft" even was to the Hellas. it was very herbally focused, at least in Hekate's more common association. I'd never rule out that some polis may have indulged these associations more heavily, but we still have to look at it through a critical lense. to understand Hekate's associations we have to understand how the Hellas saw and used them.

it bothers me a bit that She's so conflated with the modern definition of witchcraft, but that's me. I think new associations are fine, but many times this is taken out of context and spread as complete historical fact, which isn't really the case. at least, not for a majority of the historic Hellenic world. I hope this helps, and if anyone has anything to add please do !

🌘Hekate’s dog 🌒

I wanted to share this story because at the time it happened I wasn’t really apart of the Hellenism community online. It was when I was first getting into worshiping the gods. Hekate was the second deity to reach out to me, this happened shortly after she did.

I was having a really terrible day and I came home a lot later than usual, when turning onto my street it’s was like every car or person disappeared, except for this dog. The dog ran straight up to me and I just had this overwhelming presence that it was her. I brought the dog home with me and called the emergency tag to get ahold of her owner. It was just such a beautiful way for Hekate to reassure me she was with me on my path, to show me a black dog on a challenging day.

Also the dogs name was Bella and she was so sweet

HECATE / HEKATE

WHO IS SHE?

Hecate is a Goddess of magic and witchcraft, as well as the guardian of boundaries and crossings. She is often depicted as a triple-headed woman, representing her role as a gatekeeper between realms. Hecate is a powerful and mysterious Goddess, and she is often associated with the moon, the night, and the Underworld. She is also known for her connection to the spirits of the dead, and she is revered as a protector of orphans and wayfarers. As the Goddess of magic and witchcraft, she is also an expert in magic, astrology, and other arcane arts.

Appearance: Hecate is traditionally depicted as a tall and powerful woman with a distinctive appearance. She is often portrayed as having three heads, each with different facial features, such as eyes of different colours or expressions. She is also described as having black hair and wearing a dark cloak, which further lends to her mysterious and dark appearance. In some depictions, she was said to carry a torch, a crescent moon, and a key, which is a symbol of her power over the boundaries between life and death.

Personality: Hecate is a complex and multi-faceted deity, representing the trinity of magic, knowledge and wisdom, as well as the boundaries between life and death. Her personality reflects that complexity and is a combination of contradictory traits, embodying both dark and mysterious aspects, as reflected by her position as Goddess of the Underworld, while also being a bright and benevolent figure, representing light and wisdom. She is often depicted as a three-headed woman, symbolizing her association with the crossroads and the triad of magic that she encapsulates.

• Role: Hecate is a mysterious and powerful Goddess associated with sorcery and magic, often depicted as a triple-headed or triple-bodied figure.

• Associations: Hecate is often associated with crossroads, magic, prophecy, mystery, spirits, night, ghosts, and the Underworld, serving as a protector and guide for those who have died. She is also the patron deity of witches and magic-users, and is also associated with the night.
