Let me start by saying that I’ve always avoided witchcraft and deity work because of my cautious nature. I can easily get scared and anxious… when I decided to work with Hecate, it was such a sudden decision, I had a dream and did a test… then I did a tarot to see what she feels about working with me even tho I don’t fully knew about her, results were good. So I started, but not in traditional way, I’m new to this I can’t set up that perfect altar and do those complicated rituals…
I started by inviting her and talking to her, this part is quite funny, as I said I’m very cautious and anxious, I told her all about myself, asked her to be gentle with me, told her that I’m not good with words, that I want to be able to talk with her in my own way of being a yapper lol!!!
And lemme be honest I had a very weird feeling in a good way, after two weeks I did a tarot asking her how she feels about my practice, it was as if she’s still hasn’t bonded with me but it was promising. So I continued, and the second time that I did a tarot with her, I asked her about how she feels now, it was The Chariot and I was jumping around happily!!! But there was another card about how she sees my struggles, she directly pointed out my fears, which was interesting since i had the very problem within myself!!!
Meanwhile i did a deity identification, results were very interesting, most cards were coordinated towards her nature, and some weren’t, the region she rules over??? It was Temperance… I never saw people mentioning how related this card is to her, since she walks through liminal spaces… it made so much sense!!!
Now about my communication style and offerings… as I said I can’t afford to buy things specifically for her, things that I chose I do with my heart, coffee Beans, Sugar Candy, Jelly, and sometimes when I’m doing something in the kitchen I feel like she wants this a an offering, for example Cucumber and Rose stem recently, while offering I told her that I’m not sure if my intention was right or I’m being delusional!!! I play music, spray perfume, and once I showed her bunch of reels of funny cats and animals!!! As you can see, it’s as if I have a unique way of communicating with her, I talk to her from the depths of my heart but not in a formal way, I talk with intimacy yet respect, I talk about my day and things that I think through during the day… and sometimes I feel like I wanna cry??? It’s weird. I can’t see her a scary figure I’m to confident with her. Two nights ago did a tarot about how she feels about my offerings, it was Nine of Pentacles and it was so heartwarming!!!
I should mention this as well, at first there was a little to no signs, and I wasn’t worried, actually the opposite, I feel like she understood that she should be gentle to me, and the nights that I talk to her, I have less nightmares!!!
Then i began to see signs wondering again if I’m realizing it right or being delusional, told her that I have problems with understanding certain indirect signs and symbols, I’m just that way I’m way too literal…
There were signs that caught my intuition and I hope I’m not being wrong!!! Once I saw 3 crows on a street light lamp and I thought of her, once I lighted up her candle and asked her to listen to my songs with me while I’m tiding up my room, and as i heard the lyrics where Hozier says "Nothing can fuck with my baby!" I had goosebumps as if it was her message to me??? I said Hecate tell me I’m not being delusional, next song was Cinnamon which I read that it is related to her!!! Again, I might be delusional…
I use small warmer candles, her altar isn’t in place that wind can affect the flame, but as I was talking to her and showing her something, her candle flame was jiggling???
It’s about how confident I am with her, that I feel like I can talk to her and being a yapper and I don’t feel anxious which it self is a strong sign!!!
