from the series: photos my uncle took and made me think about some deity, this one is for Mother Hecate!!

[sllunag]

Amazing list!! I would like to add two books by the brazilian writer Marcia C. Silva, Bruxaria Hekatina (Hekatain Witchcraft ) and As Faces de Hekate (The Faces of Hekate ) I'm not sure if her books are translated to english but even if they're not is the best option for portuguese speakers.

how i, an hellenic polythiest feel singing this musical

i've been BELTING out the Epic concept album in the car to and from work the past couple of weeks, esp. the bit where Odysseus cries out for Athena at the end of Love in Paradise, and I thought it would be funny if the goddess herself was like WHY is this person in rural NY state calling for me every day at 8:40am and after 5pm

had a marvelous time at the beach yesterday, and collected seashells to Lady Aphrodite and Lady Hecate!! i sadly didn't brought nothing for Lady Artemis but i drew Her as an deer

[sllunag]

i know i don't have so many followers but i LOVED the idea of this game so i wanna try!! ♡

hi guys !! i'm trying something out

so !!! i decided as a fun little activity i would allow people to flood my ask box about specific deities i have interacted with and i can provide a little post about my own experiences with those deities !

just head over to my ask box and plop any deity name that's in my intro under the cut ^_^

psst , this is also an opportunity to ask questions about any specific deities if you want !

[sllunag]

at my noumenia tarot reading with Hecate yesterday and She got me crying, but in a very good way. i want to keep the details to myself but i'm so glad She see me that way. i'm so so so grateful

[sllunag]

today is 4th day of the month AND friday!! will try do something special for Lady Aphrodite ♥︎

[sllunag]

LADY HECATE FOR THE ASK GAME !!!

YAAAAY LET'S GO!!

☆ㅤㅤִㅤㅤwhen She usually shows up for me?

ㅤㅤwhen i'm doing / reading about magic, witchcraft or divination. when i feel connected with nature, and specially when i'm facing choices i feel her at my side.

ㅤㅤi also think about Her when i look at the sky. the sunset, the sunrise. at the night, when the stars and the moon are visible. Hecate Astrodia is very present in my life, i pray to her every night before sleep and i also feel this connection with this epithet < 3

☆ㅤㅤִㅤㅤwhat She is like for me?

ㅤㅤShe has always been like a mother to me, and she is actually my soul mother! besides, She feels like a free spirit, the mystery cover Her because She is too much at the same time, She is totally Herself and She doesn't hide it. The light and the dark in one single point. She is so so sweet, and She will accept you with all the ugly parts and show you the path for start to know and learn to live harmonically with those parts. She is a teacher, She is a protector, She is a guide, She is a friend. i love Her so so so much!! i can't even describe in words.

☆ㅤㅤִㅤㅤhow much have i bounded with Her

ㅤㅤa lot!! She is the deity who i am more closer and i pray to Her every night, most of my pratice as a witch is dedicated to Her!! :D

☆ㅤㅤִㅤㅤthe most shocking thing about Her

ㅤㅤwhen i started i was very scared of Her i have to admit, i had absolutly no experience with paganism and i was raised to avoid it. knowing Lady Hecate was knowing a new world. Her energy is strong, but cosy and magnetic. as i always say, she is very sweet!! it was shocking too lmao.

☆ㅤㅤִㅤㅤ the least shocking thing about Her

ㅤㅤShe have this mysterious way and "wise-woman-who-knows-a-lot" at first meet. almost everything about Her was shocking to me at that time so idk

☆ㅤㅤִㅤㅤ my opinion about Her

ㅤㅤLady Hecate represents some of the most important aspects in our world: choices, limits, the limiar. people forget of Her ""good"" side, if She is one side of the coin, she will be the other side too. everyone knows She has domain over the death, but remember She is also the goddess of birth and rebirth! she has lunar aspects, but did you know that she is also related to the sun? always it: midday and midnight. dreams and nightmares. starts, moon and sun. sky, sea and earth. angels and demons. etc!

She is very misunderstood, She is not that dark and evil the pop culture paints Her, She also wasn't in the myths!! anyways i will never be tired of saying how i love Her, how She is so careful with me and so kind. i deeply love you, Mother!!

[sllunag]

ME TOO but i was a christian child

i never felt that closure, that love, even that respect. what moved me was fear and expectations of the others. now i feel like i'm moving by myself, and i'm not alone in this journey

as a mormon child i never got why people loved religion so much, until i converted to hellenism- i've never been so happy about belief and my place on the planet, ive never felt so loved

[sllunag]

devotional drawing to Her ♡

my reference!!

[sllunag]

me : omg i'm so bored

Hecate : you're bored?

Hecate : now you're not!

me : what the...

Hecate : thank me later
