Hecate was leaving me symbols for years. Black dogs, keys, and 333 constantly everywhere out of the blue. Ive been feeling so lonely and heart broken. Wanting a nurturing loving mother. My mom is quite narcissistic all my life. Ive felt left out and the family's scape goat. Nights prior to me learning about her, i was and still feel quite lonely and clinically depressed. To the point where death seems like the only solution. I was crying out my soul these past nights, just wanting to cease to exist. At least for my awareness to cease. A video popped up on my feed about Hecate and I was curious. Once I learned more about her it all started to make sense. I had so many vivid dreams about cross roads. everything became like a puzzle solved. Last night I asked her to give me a clear sign that she chose me. I fell asleep listening to a meditation for contacting her when all of a sudden I heard my mother's voice call me. VANESSA.. I OPENED UP MY EYES AND MY MOM IN FACT WAS NOT THERE. I ASKED MY SON IF HE HEARD GRANDMA? HE SAID NO. I FELT LIKE IT WAS HECATE CALLING ME IN THE VOICE OF A MOTHER, SINCE ITS WHAT IVE BEEN DESIRING ALL MY LIFE. THE NEXT DAY AS I WAITED FOR MY SON IN THE CAR TO DROP HIM OFF AT SCHOOL, I ASKED HECATE TO SEND ME A CONFIRMATION THAT SHE'S REALLY CHOOSING ME. MY SON GETS IN THE CAR, WE'RE DRIVING TO SCHOOL AND OUT OF THE BLUE HE SAYS, "SEARCH FOR INFO ON THE WILLOW TREE" THAT WAS ODD. WE WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW BEAUTIFUL SOME OF THE TREES WE SEE ARE. I THEN SEARCHED GODDESS OF THE WILLOW TREE AND SURE ENOUGH. "HECATE" 😮😮😮 I AM STILL IN SHOCK.
I had only just read about her, and when I was in danger I chanted to her daily. For an entire year she protected me, which impressed me greatly. She is the first deity who ever let me know she cared.
I have loved other Dietys' but Hekate is the 1st I have ever dared to commit myself to ... as a girl giving myself to the Christian God .... well I was attacked by "His" enemies (like it was a test and I had to earn my worthiness) immediately and almost didn't survive .... with the Goddesses I've had challenges etc but never .... well never felt abandoned or expenable.. Like she knows challenges are necessary but she protects me while I'm learning. Does that make sense?
Queer male pagan here. A black dog and a key have both entered my life this past month and I know what it meant. She has spoken to me and now I believe she has been speaking to me my entire life. For the past few years I have battled addiction and codependency and have now been clean for 5 months and starting my life over in a new city. I believe she was waiting for me to get my shit together.
Hekate saved my dog’s life. She was at death’s door, the vet was convinced she would pass away in her sleep. She had something wrong with her bone marrow that the vets can’t fully diagnose and her blood count just kept dropping and dropping to about 7%. I asked Hekate every day to help heal her. And my dog bounced back to life like a miracle, everyone was so shocked. But it was all thanks to Hekate, I love her so much and am grateful everyday. 🖤
Wow I just love the stories in these comments so I wanted to share mine. I’m almost 50 now but years ago people around me would call me little “brujita”(witch). I had searched for what was calling me for years. 10 years ago I moved to a place associated with “keys”. When I moved there I was given a key necklace that I wore all the time. Then the snake associations started. But it was only this year when I came to a crossroads in my life both with love and my business….big choices to make…that I finally got it. I had ordered a book on dark goddesses because I started realizing that I had been fearing my own power. The moment I read about her I just knew. In the few months that I have been in full awareness of her in my life and through my conscious work with her now everything has become better. It’s just this beautiful dark mother energy. Thank you for your work. I’m so grateful for this beautiful, magical, powerful goddess. She’s amazing.
She introduced herself to me in my dreams. "I am Hecate" ~ she said this 3 times. The 3rd time, when she said it, her presence was felt in every cell of my being. The last part of my dream consisted of me lying on top of very large books. And so, every chance I get I try to learn more about her. I saw symbols, I was in a gift shop, where mostly religious items are sold, and lo and behold.. a very large wrought iron key was sitting on the shelf. I bought it, and to this day it sits on my altar. She is with me always, even when she feels distant. She is a stern goddess, fair one, ancient one, queen of the witches, who walks with sure step on twisted paths, and shadowed streets, and guides the lost, the dead, and those who cannot find their way in the dark. She guides with her torches, the queen of witches, trusted guardian of the home ~ who's reach extends beyond all worlds ~ whose might and fearful wisdom are unsurpassed ~ *
Thank you sister for sharing your experiences with our Lady. She has always with me in some sense. Even as a child this strong maternal stern presence was apparent to me. It is now as I enter a crone, still the mother, a maiden in spirirt that I wish to work with Hekete alone... )0(
Night Wandering Daughter She came to me in a dream as well I only heard someone say her name two separate dreams I had no idea who she even was until I looked her up
Ive been doing readings trying to figure it out. And upon looking up selenite after somoene suggested it. it took me down a internet journey and I came across her. Ive been seeing so many symbols of hers throughout my life and have been drawn to others. It just clicked like you said. Im still so new to everything and learning more every day.
She is with me now. I feel her all the time. I love and respect my dark mother so much. True transformation is happening fast in my life and I feel her lighting my path, giving me reassurance. To know Hecate is one of my favorite blessings. May she guide you into the experiences that are mean for you all and help you find the key to every door you want to open.
In between sleep & awake one night. I had a man charge at me on my side of the bed. A HUGE black wolf jumped ontop of me and scooped down snarling at the man. As he did this I pushed my shield out around us both. The man stopped, kneeled and watched. The wolf stayed atop me and protected me. I kept pushing my shield out. Woke myself up after that….. A week later I kept hearing this name over and over in my head. Hekate, over and over. It gave me a headache. Just wouldn’t stop. So I started researching her. And here I am ❤ Thank you for your teachings ❤️
Shes been calling me for a long time and I'm just now putting the pieces together. I haven't even invoked her yet and I'm feeling complete already. So excited!!
I envied her as she deals with justice when you have been wronged by bad folks my whole family are witches and me I get told the gifted one outta bunch about to see here shortly
she speaks with me in my meditation, as soon as i picked up witchcraft. it was beautiful. i was depressed, i was a horrible mess as well. she told me i am her, she is me. i asked would she guide me, she answered Yes child, I asked would she help me grow, she like a pissed mom, says YES CHILD, ALL THESE THINGS, as she proceeded to say I am her, she is me. wearing black, beautiful, jet black hair.... and she has came a few times since. She has sent dogs as confirmation, and i get my information as needed as i go. being claracognizent, she has an easy time putting information there... This is a great video for new devotees or just new witches. Its so amazing, i agree to write these all down.. its alot of things that she has to teach.. blessed be
Ave Hekate. She has introduced herself to me the first night in April. I was sobbing as I still greive over my mother who passed away in 2021. I felt at my lowest. Hekate showed me symbols and welcomed me as she said what other names I may call her upon depending what I felt closer to. She said I was more than welcomed to seek for her guidance and protection. I felt her embrace me, giving me a hug in my dream. I cried, thankful of the love I felt from someone who cared. I tried to learn about her before making an offering to show that I am sincere. Since I began working with her I know she sent messages to me by picking up certain books to learn where I need to focus on. I would find random keys every now and then. I would mostly see black dogs crossing my path and some didn't mind me petting them. I once had a keychain from my husband as a gift that says "I ❤ you". I would occasionally find a gray feather flying to my path. I'm truly grateful for her presence. 🙌
When I was 19, I read the Inferno and I was fixated on the very brief mention of Hekate. So fixated and compelled I was inspired to read and Learn more about her stories. So compelled was I to her that I wrote a rough draft of a play about her (it was a silly little comedy with a serious message about the restoration of the female divine). The day after it was finished, a friend came to me and expressed an interest in producing their own originalmusical production for charity (she had done this before to everyone's astonishment and great success), so I volunteered my play idea, and she loved it. After that a series of events happened so quickly and so fortunate, that it became possible for a group of musical theatre nerds to write, compose produce stage and gain funding for an original musical production attempting to restore the full glory and power and truth to a Goddess who got a raw deal by the misogynist editing of written history. It was pretty clear to all of us working on this that she was with us, so many synchronicities, Stokes of unbelievable luck (we got a professional theatre for free, no questions asked), and all of it happening within 3 months. We ended up raising $7500 for our local women's shelter. ❤️
Blessings to you. If you haven't visited keepingherkeys.com, you may want to check it out. There's an entire page dedicated to Hekate, free resources and you can try out my private online network for free.
Hekate came to me in a vision. At the time I did not know who she was. She was with three dogs and sat at a crossroads. The day I met Hekate I was given the courage and strength to get sober. I have now been sober for over 20 months and my life has done a complete 180. Thank you Hekate.
A few days ago I was listening to music dedicated to her. I felt her urge me to my jewlery box to wear my key necklace and snake bracelet. Obviously I put them on. I sat on my bed feeling wonderful that she contacted. She drew my attention towards a storage cubby and I didn't understand what she was trying to say. I looked through the stuff but nothing was related to her at all. I started looking elsewhere and I felt a pinch. Not painful just her telling me to look where she told me to look. Turns out I had keys inside of a Christmas figurine for safe keeping. I opened it and I was astounded. I immediately put them on her part of the altar.
I came here to learn something more about her, bc her name keeps ringing in my head. I'm not sure why, I really don't have any special interest in her, only respect. Trying to solve this puzzle now.just find one of the pieces in your comment - I also have a snake bracelet and key chain in my jewelry box. Lol.
Hekate has been calling me for years but I was a Christian who knew about all this. Today, I knelt and asked her to accept me into her fold. I am of Sicilian heritage and she is one of the gods of my people.
Her name just started ringing in my head out of nowhere. I knew of her but hadn’t done any work with her. After Samhain this year I found myself repeating her name in my head over and over again, it felt good. After researching her and reading some Hekatean Magick books I realised I’d been working on a painting of her all year. It depicts a hooded woman in the dark of night carrying a torch. The painting had always been about death and loss and finding the path forward. I was blown away and now I can’t believe I didn’t see it sooner.
My story of how Hekate first came to me was.. strange. I was sitting in class after this huge emotional flood washed me out of feeling. And then all of a sudden, I was looking her up and doing research, looking at aesthetics and pages dedicated to her. I became hyperfocused on her all of a sudden. And I guess that was her way of calling me to her.
It is definitely strange how we often experience her when we become empty. I'm going to add this: while our individual experience can seem highly unusual, in all the data I've collected from hundreds of Hekate's chosen, it is a very common theme.
i've been answered by hecate on several occasions now i believe. it's hard to decipher sometimes but i recently had a y sliced into my wrist while working. it's VERY clear it's a Y and I truly believe she is with me. this video was amazing and i subbed!
Thanks so much for this. I kept thinking about her and her name kept popping in my head and i kept ignoring her because i thought she was scary. But one day we had just moved to my new place and we didnt have the fence fully put up and my dogs ran out as soon as we opened the door. Two of them came home in a couple hours but my sophie didnt we live in the middle of the desert where their is coyotes everywhere. I was worried sick it got dark and i kept thinking about hekates name and I remember i spoke to her and i said fine you win just please keep her safe and guide her home. Sophie came home the next day around 10 am after that i started searching her up and looking at ways to honor her. When sophie came home I remember thinking she wasn’t supposed to come home anymore she was meant to pass the rainbow bridge. And i knew hekate had let her come home for a bit sophie passed 2 months later. And yes i was heart broken but i knew that atleast she had let her come home so that i could spend some time with her.
Recently I started my own personal study and research on HECATE and whenever she crosses my mind I fell this rush of energy like a wave wash over me, She introduced herself to me about a year ago through a music video by Olivia Newton John the song that was it called Magic it was from the movie Xanadu
I met her during a meditation. She appeared to me as a faceless woman in a purple shroud wearing a triple goddess diadem. She likes to send me small moths and is very responsive when I ask her if she’s present through her deity candle. She’s been amazing in helping me with shadow work and becoming more confident in magic.
My first experience was her showing up. I set out a big glass bowl with water for her dogs. I heard her 2 days ago and I made a crossroad offering tonight, telling her about my uprooted situation and new info… I seem to be drawn to Hekate, Papa Legba & Santa Muerta - all crossroads, keys dogs and animals, wisdom. I’m so open. Not all will understand. Thank you for great video 🥰
I understand. I too am drawn to Legba/Elegua/Eshu and Hecate recently showed up. We are getting aquatinted...Hecate and I😌✨ Recently I was violated and my car was broken into, purse was stolen. Never even dawned on me that I had left the purse in the car. Perhaps the event was divine to bring me to know her and come back in tune with the deities in general🤷🏽♀️ Anyway, all is good... Everything is taken care of. Poor thieves don't know what's coming toward them🧹
I once was very depressed and in a hard time in my life, so I was praying for her and I went to eat something and two dogs one white and the other black were outside the window, then I felt amazing and just knew it was her.
My whole life has been a message from Hecate. I've asked at least 3 different witches about their opinion of my mother naming me Mother Earth (my second name. Demi is short for the 256th [I think, don't quote me] music note, bc I was born 3 months prem). I've always been protected. No matter where I go or what I do, I'm safe. I feel the comfort of the moon at night & look up at the stars with a knowing that I'm not of this place... it used to scare me immensely, but now, after she has finally revealed herself as that protector, I feel no fear. I feel not a shred of fear for the unseen. Born at the foot of Africa, with Cornish, French, Dutch, Indian and African native heritage; I was a weird kid. I spoke to trees & told it my secrets (even convinced my friends to do the same in grade 1 lol, but I felt it understood). I spent hours outside. Sunset, twilight and nighttime are my favorite times of the day. Especially dusk, when the daytime bleeds into night, like lovers entwined in passionate embrace... I love fire & I'm obviously a lover of red and black lol my whole room is red and black. I'm gifted knowing things before they happen and able to touch people and make them feel better, however, I have a low tolerance for injustice, oppression & wrongdoing. That makes me angry & when I'm angry, I'm not very nice, so I hide myself from the world. A select few will encounter me - if they so please, but I realized very early on that I'm not & never will be everyone's cup of tea.
When I hit my lowest and started self medicating, she was there sending owls, dogs, snakes and other kinds of symbols that are associated with her, and it lifted me up out of the dope and back into my power
There were so many signs & I didn't realize it fully till I started seeing her in my TikTok fyp & then it all clicked. My child had also been wearing a skeleton key necklace a while ago a relative got him, owls hooing outside my window started randomly, neighborhood black dogs, dreams, visions, some events & much more. Thank you for making this channel. It's very helpful. Much Love. 🤍
There are so many pieces to this puzzle and I am now starting to put them together. She has been talking to me for quite some time! My mother used to see a black dog come into the house when we didn't even have a dog. At the beginning of my journey a few years ago I woke up every morning at 3:33 for about a month before I finally broke down and spiritually started asking what was going on. So many keys I didn't even realize they were?!
She came to me in thought while I was in mediation on awaking the inner witch, the thought of her kept circling around in my mind naturally, and until now I never heard of her!
Hekate often appears to me in dreams where I sense her as my own birth mother, though I never see her face and energetically she feels strange, like she is appearing as my mum but is not quite her. She is in fact Hekate. In these dreams the colour blue features heavily also. I am surprised as a new devotee when I had my very first real-world sudden message from Her, I had that exact *knowing* you spoke of. I recorded all of it, took pictures - did all of that instinctively. And immediately set up my first altar dedicated to Her and gave offerings of onion and garlic. She even let me know in another major and quite dramatic sign the next day She was pleased with my offerings. I’m new on this path but I have such great faith in Hekate and often speak to her as Hekate Phosphorus.
Thank-you so much for this video. I came across Hecate as a result of working with Papa Legba. I’m presently going through a divorce & I believe it was no accident, she’s made herself known to me.
She showed up when I was also getting divorced (she actually directed me to some knowledge that lead to me filing). She was sending soooo many signs and I thought she was two other goddesses for about 9 months. If you're in any similar space to where I was (I suspect you are), you're in great hands with her. I hope you can find security and comfort with her as you navigate the divorce
@@jaimeyoung526 I’m just seeing this comment a year later. So yes she was my protection throughout my entire divorce to a covert narcissist. The power she led me to see I possessed, was surreal. I had suppressed so much of my power, that when I embraced it I initially felt guilty. But her presence was so assertive, yet gentle(if that makes sense). I could not turn my back on her. She’s amazing!
I have been working with a different Godess for years,and years ago I thought to work with Hecate but didn't felt right .Now I have been drawn to her ,I keep being guided to research alot about her,I have seen her in my eyes mind she looked a tinny bit scary but I actually wasn't afraid of her I wanted to see more of her,I always loved keys old keys all kind of keys ,and recently was guided to buy beautiful keys and offer them to her..I left 3 keys to her as a offering and I was guided to choose another 3 keys that I cleansed and was blessed with her energy and guided to use this keys in a necklace I'm wearing now,also I caught myself walking around crossroads I was going for a walk in nature and I felt guided to walk to a road with a crossroad,and Hecate came to my head...I'm not afraid of her actually I'm amazed by her...Have to say her chanting is very powerful I could feel the energy.
Hekate found me as my life starting spiraling out of control. I had been looking into witchcraft but not even close to hekate and then I just felt this protective energy and then I saw a post mentioning her and it clicked. The next day I went to an antique shop with a great friend of mine and this shop was huge and we got lost and when I found her she said look I found these old keys and I knew it was her. Now I am getting ready to study her path and I feel better.
Thank you so much for this video. I'm brand new to witchcraft. I've always been fascinated with witchcraft, and I have been told I am a natural healer and that I feel and hear spirit. The last 4 years have been hard but just as things are starting to turn around, I've been obsessed with witchcraft, the thought that I maybe a witch excites me to my bones, but a little scared to if that makes sense. And then I keep hearing and seeing videos about hekate, I know nothing about witchcraft as I said before so I am learning. But thank you once again
Hecate came to me in a past life reading back in 2020 where I got to know I used to pray to her in my past life, fast forward 2021 I thought I was ready to work with this beautiful goddess, but I wasn’t ready as to many things in my life got in the way. I decided to try again in 2022 and it truly was the perfect timing! It was during the time where I had to let go of so many things…friends, habits etc. and during my first stages of working with her I went to this out door outlet/thrift shop I SAW THE BIGGEST BLACK DOG STATUE! and then I went to a different antique shop and I felt called to buy a key…the clerk gave it to me for a very low price. She is with me and I’m grateful for her 💖 hail Hecate
I saw a statue of hers in a catalog and was drawn to it, I didn't buy it but a week later I had a dream about a black dog following me. I was intimidated by it in the dream but when I touched it, it was my companion.
I was called to Hecate. Not necessarily out of the blue. I am going through a rough spot in my life, and I was searching for spells or chants I can do to ensure justice is served. I was sitting at my computer, and I saw her Justice Chant. I spoke it out loud, and all of a sudden I fell into a deep trance, and a huge amount of pressure was pushed down on my head forcing me to bow. I was not afraid, but I knew I had messed up by not making a ritual to her. I asked for her justice, and she said, "show me" and instantly all of these memories flooded to my eyes. I cried, and she took a tear from my eye, and she was gone. I instantly went to make sure I made an offering to her. I setup my altar, lit my candles, and offered roses, and lavander and a key. As I made my offering, and thanked her, my black candle began to flicker and move in odd ways. The candles reacted as I spoke. The other candles never moved once. Something happened that I had no idea what to make of, I was not scared, but was wanting for more from her. A shadow grew on my wall, it was shaped like a robed figure, with two dogs on her right side. I knew it was her. After asking her for guidance and for justice, and hoping she liked the offering, I spoke for awhile, and when I was done, Hecate's candle stopped flickering, but the shadow remained, again I was not scared and felt no fear, but felt she was still with me. I completed my ritual, and am now researching more to be able to contact her and develop my relationship with her.
I have been called recently. I have been feeling very depressed and even suicidal. I started reading one of my witchcraft books and came across common deities. My eyes found Hecate immedietly and I remembered her name from some study in my childhood. I'm on a path to communicate to her and I am feeling hopeful and strong.
Same here. I had a deep calling within me. During some divination I asked her if she was there. The answers to me were so clear it was oddly clear. I continued to do more readings and sensed her even more. I have heard her name throughout my studies but after feeling like a deity was near. It took me months to figure it out. As I studied about her directly I realized the darker aspect of her presence was already a sign for me. I actually became skeptic again. And kept searching. Once again, I was lead right back to her. I also started receiving deep intuitive messages and just deep feelings after becoming interested in shadow work. Before I even knew details about her. I believe now 100% she arrived to help me overcome my past trauma and help me accept myself. Knowing that I am indeed a witch, in a very chrisitianized environment. Hekate did not speak to me. But revealed herself as you imply as "Knowing". I know in my heart that you will help me embrace this gift from hekate. I seek to keep her in my life. But most of all, the personal experience has already opened up my eyes. Therefore, I will always honor her as my goddess.
I had a dream once where I was walking my sister's dog one morning and as I turn to my left I see a tall woman, long straight black hair, purple dress and a golden recumbent crescent moon. As I'm looking at her confused, she opened her arm and extended them to me. Another story I had was one morning as I'm waking up I was in sleep paralysis when I heard a voice of a woman whispering in my ear saying "you are destined for great things" I've also seen black dogs around my area and seen "HEK" on licence plates multiple times
Watching this makes me realize she has been calling me for years and I just never even realized... I'm so glad I finally decided to do research and seek more about her. Thank you so much for this video!
She called me very straightforwardly two days ago. I was in a store and I came across some candles and once I picked them up the word "Hecate" repeated over and over again in my head, so I looked her up and read about her, once I got home I went to bed and the next day I set up space for her on my alter and asked for her to speak to me through my pendulum, and she spoke to me through my tarot and oracle cards as well and so now I am a follower of Lady Hecate.
Thank you for this Hekate came to me in a medation, it made me cry 💜 since then I have made an altar for her now, and learning what I can, I was born on Halloween and always been drawn the Wicca, but never dove in deep till now. My friend had a full moon party on the Scorpio Full Moon for me. Craziest part was I started my PERIOD that night ( I only have 3 to 4 a yr) I feel I'm on the right track in life for once. Hekate has definitely made a huge change in my life. I feel blessed✨
I didn't know anything about Hecate until one day I sang to the moon with tears in my eyes and I felt a very loving presence I wasn't sure who it was or what it was but just felt so much love she slowly revealed herself to me it was a lovely discovery of who was going to become my Mother ❤
I am writing this half-way through your video and simply want to say thank you for the post. Your openness and honesty is refreshing, as well as your willingness to share your story, especially how she came to you. Bless you and once again Thank you.
Thank you Cyndi for sharing this. Hekate came to me more than once in the form of a beautiful serpent and a blinking light at night, EVERY night, even though the light is turned off. Even my husband notices and so do the animals in the house. She has my back through these days of trials and tribulations and definitely taught me a thing or two. I am grateful for her presence in my life, as I am thankful to know you as well. I have been making wired jewelry keys, as if she is pushing me to do this. I am sure she has her reasons and I feel her presence all the time. This is amazing and I am enjoying every mile of this path and will keep going. Hail Hekate Soteira. If I have never known Fierce Love...I do now !!!!
You properly introduced me to Hekate . They say her name in my favorite witch movie of all time PRACTICAL MAGIC. However she came to me as Kali Ma 1st- and Shakti I'd heard Hathor but didn't even know she was a woman. When I knew her ancient name it changed things completely in ritual. She showed me a vision through a small hearth fire and I was able to summon the spirit of my deceased lover with her help. ❤I am eternally grateful to her and to you. Please keep doing your work like this. Your devotion is reaching US
25 years ago I was going through a very bad time in my life...very similar to your’s. I’ve always been a avid reader and one day went to my favorite bookstore. For some reason, I immediately went to the spiritual section (that I had never been in before), reached up and grabbed Scott Cunningham’s book, “Wicca for the Sole Practitioner”. Thus began my practice of Wicca and witchcraft. A couple month’s ago, going through a bad time again, and had to go on Amazon to order something for my house. For some strange reason, your book, “Entering Hekate’s Garden” popped up. I knew it was a sign, however, I always had a bit of fear when it came to Hekate. I bought it and the the first book, “Keeping Her Keys”. I guess I have been called!
"It's time." Is all She said to me and it was all that was needed to be said. It's wild that you had this same message. Very simple and to the point. I knew very little about Her as well when I first heard Her speak to me. I'd been a practicing Witch for over 30 years and had heard of Her but never really pursued Her specifically. I always thought She was a "darker" Goddess but yeah that's just about what I felt too. That of, course, has since changed after working with Her. She's actually really loving and supportive in our paths.
She came to me early morning hours, I woke up out of nowhere decided to do some simple magic, for some reason I grabbed her statue and set it aside asked her to help me. I have never seen anything like it she showed me a bright orange light energy coming from her third eye and out then float above my head and go towards the wall I watch it several times in amazement then I held out the palm of my hand and asked her to come to me then it floated right above the palm of my hand it was absolutely amazing. Since then I realize that when I first started my journey about a year ago before I knew who what she was it turns out I had ordered her statue and now going through my things I first bought, I know they are my signs, I keep pulling out things that pertain to her and laughing because it is a clear sign. So cool!!! 💗
I am seeking to work with Hecate and I found your book Hecate: keeping her keys, Im so happy I did as well as this channel. I have been struggling to find my path, what really calls to me. I started readking about Hecate and then found you, thank you for your work, for all your info and sharing with others that knowledge. Side note I just recently purchesed an altar trunk identical to yours in this video. I wish I could post a picture lol
i had a knowing this week; it's been dark in my life, lots of upheaval/unstableness and trauma. got out of the car the other evening after a rough day at work, and saw the strangest thing, a single bright yellow dandelion in the grass of our yard, just a foot or so from where i stepped out of the car. in the middle of winter, no other weeds or flowers or anything growing. that's when i got the knowing.
I got an “it’s time” message during a cacao ceremony during the guided meditation/sound bath. It was crazy. My dead friend guides me thru the meditation and led me to her. She wore black and had long black hair. She had tea I think and was very nice lol.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. You may or may not get this but you have the eyes of a true witch. Left one, much more open and "seeing" . But you probably already knew that.
I have too and thought I was a bit of a freak . Then I read the Don Juan books by Carlos Castaneda. Quite a few times in those conversations Don Juan refers to the eyes of a Shaman being of markedly different sizes.
Bright blessings and thank you for your wisdom of this powerful Goddess. She called me sometime ago and now I am intentionally seeking her grace, protection, and guidance. I am building relationship with Hekete and developing symbolism and understanding of myself. The more I become aware and know myself the more I manifest what is my destiny. Hail Hekete Queen of us Witches...)0(
I guess that it was all meant to be and Hekate planned it, but i actively sought-after Hekate myself, when the witch father, the man in black came to me, i asked him if i may follow Hekate, i then had the impression that he was surprised that i asked him for some reason, but he said yes and informed her. The next day or two later, i had a dream with her name mentioned in it. I then devoted my life to her, and we've bonded every day since. I give her my all. I love her ❤ Great video. Thanks for sharing. Have a blessed day ✌️
She first came to me, that I’m aware of, at a crossroads moment in my life in December 2010. A point my resolve to face a daunting personal challenge was faltering. She helped me see that I needed to cast off the old to move forwards and live. I wasn’t frilled at the time, but I can look back with gratitude and laugh - she does have quite the sense of humour.
Your book is amazing and your videos are informative and amazing too! As with many, Hecate came to me during a time of personal pain and Re-strengthened me from the inside out. Hail Hecate!!
I’ve recently reached out to her and I was doing a tarot card reading for myself last night, the night of the new moon in Pisces, and called out to her. Behind my left shoulder I felt this strong, warm embracing presence. Out of the corner of my eye I saw this hazy white light (which is literally impossible without something supernatural happening because I had only my red lights up). Overall I got a very important message. It was really touching
Thank you. I was talking to a friend today and realized I was using my Dr. Cyndi voice! I do think many of us, whether psychologists or otherwise, have a certain professional voice.
One day I was thinking about which goddess to invoke during a pretty moon...then I heard her speak her name to me. Wow..what a blessing !!! She has my heart strings in her hand. I love you Hecate.. PS: Please share some titles of books you resonate with about her, Thanks...
My first book in the Hekate's Modern Witchcraft series just came out. Keeping Her Keys: An Introduction to Hekate's Modern Witchcraft is available from most major booksellers.
I believe she has come to me as well. I’m also going through a divorce and my father passed away in April 2021. I was struggling with postpartum mental health and was not getting enough sleep. In September 2020 I experienced what I’d describe as “thoughts” in my mind that I was responding to. The thoughts were, “this next part is going to be very hard are you ready? You will need to trust that everything is going to play out the way it needs to but you are not in control.” I said yes I’m ready and then I felt this intense panic that I was in danger and I needed to get out of my house and away from my husband. I called police in a frantic state of mind and they suggested I stay with a relative or friend. So I gathered my two boys and stayed with my mother. Everything got so much harder after that. I was taken to the hospital against my free will because no one believed that I had any real reason to fear my husband.
When I was a child, a large black dog used to visit me at night. I was scared to sleep alone and when this dog would visit it would talk to me until I fell asleep and I felt safe. I’m 2019, I had two dreams she appeared to me in. In one, she led me through the underworld and protected me from “demons” for lack of another term. In the other dream, she was yelling at me through a portal and told me to “see beyond the magic.” I was raised evangelical and terrified of witchcraft to a ridiculous extreme. I didn’t get out of that until a couple months ago, so when these things happened I had no clue who she was. I started reading tarot this year and wasn’t practicing any protection or balance. I started having scary dreams. One day when I sat down to read this booking voice yelled “please stop!” So I threw away my cards thinking it was the Christian god telling me I was going to hell. Now I’m a practicing eclectic witch. Persephone has been following me and I started working with her in my shadow work. About a day after I opened up to Persephone’s signs, Hekate started calling me again so loudly. She knocked the lighter out of my hand when I tried to light Persephone’s candle. Then I had a dream I was finding keys all over the house. A couple days later, I actually was walking around my house picking up random keys I found in weird places (4 of them). Then, I had 3 readings from 3 different people on 3 separate topics in 24 hours, and every single one said I’m ready to work with Hekate (even the ones I was asking something different). So, here I am! Haha.. I work with persephone on my mental health/trauma/shadow work, and I work with Hekate in my spellcraft and herbalism studies. 🖤
I started my journey back to brujeria, and her name kept showing up everywhere. I knew nothing about her, and I felt this immediate connection. So, I started researching her. I'm not sure if we are connected, but I have set up an altar to her. 🔥🔥🔥
I'm not going to sit up here and say that I understand every bit of it but then I had the sensation to look it up I became more intrigued this was a very good video for me it helped me to understand more of what I need to do in order to receive her messages
I've recently purchased your book, keeping her keys. Although I've been a wiccan for quite a few years, I'd never worked with Hekate, but not long ago I dreamt of a black dog following me up a hill that I usually run that leads into the woods.. I kept running and everytime I looked back, there would be another dog and another dog , their eyes very fixated on me. Now I'm waiting for the Dark Moon next month to begin your book.
I shared my life with a black dog named Merlyn for many years, he who was my guardian and my companion and who I now understand was no mere dog. Since his passing last year, I've included him in any rituals for protection or other spellworking and called upon him as Brother Dog (I used to say to him during our almost 13 years together that he was my "brother from another bitch"). During my first dark-of-the-moon ritual to Hekate a couple of nights ago, the very notion of a black dog as one of her animal guides brought such tears of emotion to my eyes that I'm surprised I didn't leave tear stains in my book of shadows. During this invocation, a few more tears surfaced. I wonder if Hekate's been attempting to get through to me all these years, ever since that Samhain channeling session in which I was given some guidance from Her (which, looking back over those notes from 2011, is more relevant to my current life circumstances even than they were back then). Or perhaps she was simply waiting patiently for me to come around and seek Her out, when I was grown up enough emotionally and spiritually to be finally ready to take on this new twist in my witchy path.
I have a podcast on the High Priestess, so check it out on the KHK SoundCloud. Also watch the Wheel of the Year class here on YT because I talk about how this year is all about the HP.
@@CyndiBrannen ok....I dont think this is a coincidence...I really had never looked very much at Hekate because she seemed quite scary ive worked with celtic dieties...also, my cat brought me a "church key" last night. this is the second time she's done this and its metal....she hasnt brought me anything else..
I had never heard of Hekate before and the first time she reached out to me I said out loud without realizing it, “Hey hey Hekate” It hit me later to research her. I lost sights of her and she reached out to me 3 times out of nowhere today while I was in the same situation as the first. I find it amazing how she reached out so spontaneously.
I feel like everything happens for a reason....the first time I heard about her I instantly got chills...when I was younger I attempted to practice wiccan...just got a real spiritual awakening (I suppressed spirituality due to mothers schizophrenia as I grew up)last summer...I feel very drawn to info about her...is that her calling me?
Hecate was leaving me symbols for years. Black dogs, keys, and 333 constantly everywhere out of the blue. Ive been feeling so lonely and heart broken. Wanting a nurturing loving mother. My mom is quite narcissistic all my life. Ive felt left out and the family's scape goat. Nights prior to me learning about her, i was and still feel quite lonely and clinically depressed. To the point where death seems like the only solution. I was crying out my soul these past nights, just wanting to cease to exist. At least for my awareness to cease. A video popped up on my feed about Hecate and I was curious. Once I learned more about her it all started to make sense. I had so many vivid dreams about cross roads. everything became like a puzzle solved. Last night I asked her to give me a clear sign that she chose me. I fell asleep listening to a meditation for contacting her when all of a sudden I heard my mother's voice call me. VANESSA.. I OPENED UP MY EYES AND MY MOM IN FACT WAS NOT THERE. I ASKED MY SON IF HE HEARD GRANDMA? HE SAID NO. I FELT LIKE IT WAS HECATE CALLING ME IN THE VOICE OF A MOTHER, SINCE ITS WHAT IVE BEEN DESIRING ALL MY LIFE. THE NEXT DAY AS I WAITED FOR MY SON IN THE CAR TO DROP HIM OFF AT SCHOOL, I ASKED HECATE TO SEND ME A CONFIRMATION THAT SHE'S REALLY CHOOSING ME. MY SON GETS IN THE CAR, WE'RE DRIVING TO SCHOOL AND OUT OF THE BLUE HE SAYS, "SEARCH FOR INFO ON THE WILLOW TREE" THAT WAS ODD. WE WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW BEAUTIFUL SOME OF THE TREES WE SEE ARE. I THEN SEARCHED GODDESS OF THE WILLOW TREE AND SURE ENOUGH. "HECATE" 😮😮😮 I AM STILL IN SHOCK.
I had only just read about her, and when I was in danger I chanted to her daily. For an entire year she protected me, which impressed me greatly. She is the first deity who ever let me know she cared.
Shes so wonderful. She tought me how to defend myself and was always there.
I have loved other Dietys' but Hekate is the 1st I have ever dared to commit myself to ... as a girl giving myself to the Christian God .... well I was attacked by "His" enemies (like it was a test and I had to earn my worthiness) immediately and almost didn't survive .... with the Goddesses I've had challenges etc but never .... well never felt abandoned or expenable.. Like she knows challenges are necessary but she protects me while I'm learning. Does that make sense?
@@anniesue4456 yes it makes sense :)
Same here
what chant you do
Queer male pagan here. A black dog and a key have both entered my life this past month and I know what it meant. She has spoken to me and now I believe she has been speaking to me my entire life. For the past few years I have battled addiction and codependency and have now been clean for 5 months and starting my life over in a new city. I believe she was waiting for me to get my shit together.
Hekate saved my dog’s life. She was at death’s door, the vet was convinced she would pass away in her sleep. She had something wrong with her bone marrow that the vets can’t fully diagnose and her blood count just kept dropping and dropping to about 7%. I asked Hekate every day to help heal her. And my dog bounced back to life like a miracle, everyone was so shocked. But it was all thanks to Hekate, I love her so much and am grateful everyday. 🖤
Blessing your pets becaause i love the earth air rain Nature animals!🌺✨🌟🙌🤍
Since Hecate made herself known to me, every aspect of my life has improved! I am so grateful for Her blessings
Wow I just love the stories in these comments so I wanted to share mine. I’m almost 50 now but years ago people around me would call me little “brujita”(witch). I had searched for what was calling me for years. 10 years ago I moved to a place associated with “keys”. When I moved there I was given a key necklace that I wore all the time. Then the snake associations started. But it was only this year when I came to a crossroads in my life both with love and my business….big choices to make…that I finally got it. I had ordered a book on dark goddesses because I started realizing that I had been fearing my own power. The moment I read about her I just knew. In the few months that I have been in full awareness of her in my life and through my conscious work with her now everything has become better. It’s just this beautiful dark mother energy. Thank you for your work. I’m so grateful for this beautiful, magical, powerful goddess. She’s amazing.
She introduced herself to me in my dreams. "I am Hecate" ~ she said this 3 times. The 3rd time, when she said it, her presence was felt in every cell of my being. The last part of my dream consisted of me lying on top of very large books. And so, every chance I get I try to learn more about her. I saw symbols, I was in a gift shop, where mostly religious items are sold, and lo and behold.. a very large wrought iron key was sitting on the shelf. I bought it, and to this day it sits on my altar. She is with me always, even when she feels distant. She is a stern goddess, fair one, ancient one, queen of the witches, who walks with sure step on twisted paths, and shadowed streets, and guides the lost, the dead, and those who cannot find their way in the dark. She guides with her torches, the queen of witches, trusted guardian of the home ~ who's reach extends beyond all worlds ~ whose might and fearful wisdom are unsurpassed ~ *
Beautiful!
Thank you sister for sharing your experiences with our Lady. She has always with me in some sense. Even as a child this strong maternal stern presence was apparent to me. It is now as I enter a crone, still the mother, a maiden in spirirt that I wish to work with Hekete alone... )0(
beautifully said!! thank You!
Night Wandering Daughter She came to me in a dream as well I only heard someone say her name two separate dreams I had no idea who she even was until I looked her up
Ive been doing readings trying to figure it out. And upon looking up selenite after somoene suggested it. it took me down a internet journey and I came across her. Ive been seeing so many symbols of hers throughout my life and have been drawn to others. It just clicked like you said. Im still so new to everything and learning more every day.
She is with me now. I feel her all the time. I love and respect my dark mother so much. True transformation is happening fast in my life and I feel her lighting my path, giving me reassurance. To know Hecate is one of my favorite blessings. May she guide you into the experiences that are mean for you all and help you find the key to every door you want to open.
In between sleep & awake one night. I had a man charge at me on my side of the bed. A HUGE black wolf jumped ontop of me and scooped down snarling at the man. As he did this I pushed my shield out around us both. The man stopped, kneeled and watched. The wolf stayed atop me and protected me. I kept pushing my shield out. Woke myself up after that….. A week later I kept hearing this name over and over in my head. Hekate, over and over. It gave me a headache. Just wouldn’t stop. So I started researching her. And here I am ❤
Thank you for your teachings ❤️
I discovered hekate when I was a child and she has been the only deity who has ever made sense to me. Thank you for this.
Shes been calling me for a long time and I'm just now putting the pieces together. I haven't even invoked her yet and I'm feeling complete already. So excited!!
Me too. I am starting to know her. In the beginning I thought she was another goddess
Me too!♥️🌜
Same here sister. Dionysus has been my patron for decades. She recently called me.
I envied her as she deals with justice when you have been wronged by bad folks my whole family are witches and me I get told the gifted one outta bunch about to see here shortly
I haven't invoked her either. I'm just starting to make sense of this and process it all.
she speaks with me in my meditation, as soon as i picked up witchcraft. it was beautiful. i was depressed, i was a horrible mess as well. she told me i am her, she is me. i asked would she guide me, she answered Yes child, I asked would she help me grow, she like a pissed mom, says YES CHILD, ALL THESE THINGS, as she proceeded to say I am her, she is me. wearing black, beautiful, jet black hair.... and she has came a few times since. She has sent dogs as confirmation, and i get my information as needed as i go. being claracognizent, she has an easy time putting information there... This is a great video for new devotees or just new witches. Its so amazing, i agree to write these all down.. its alot of things that she has to teach.. blessed be
i had similar experiences. she likes us 💗 blessed be !
I have had the same message: “I am you, you are me.” And visuals to go along with it. And I’m still massively reluctant to go there.
Yes! I am you. You are me. I received this message also! You are my blood. I felt as though I am her child.💕
Sisters under Hekate⭐⭐⭐brothers and sisters! Edit!!!! Lol we are all one!
Omg yesss like a pissed mom always making sure you're growing and on the right path
Ave Hekate. She has introduced herself to me the first night in April. I was sobbing as I still greive over my mother who passed away in 2021. I felt at my lowest. Hekate showed me symbols and welcomed me as she said what other names I may call her upon depending what I felt closer to. She said I was more than welcomed to seek for her guidance and protection. I felt her embrace me, giving me a hug in my dream. I cried, thankful of the love I felt from someone who cared. I tried to learn about her before making an offering to show that I am sincere.
Since I began working with her I know she sent messages to me by picking up certain books to learn where I need to focus on. I would find random keys every now and then. I would mostly see black dogs crossing my path and some didn't mind me petting them. I once had a keychain from my husband as a gift that says "I ❤ you". I would occasionally find a gray feather flying to my path. I'm truly grateful for her presence. 🙌
When I was 19, I read the Inferno and I was fixated on the very brief mention of Hekate. So fixated and compelled I was inspired to read and Learn more about her stories. So compelled was I to her that I wrote a rough draft of a play about her (it was a silly little comedy with a serious message about the restoration of the female divine). The day after it was finished, a friend came to me and expressed an interest in producing their own originalmusical production for charity (she had done this before to everyone's astonishment and great success), so I volunteered my play idea, and she loved it. After that a series of events happened so quickly and so fortunate, that it became possible for a group of musical theatre nerds to write, compose produce stage and gain funding for an original musical production attempting to restore the full glory and power and truth to a Goddess who got a raw deal by the misogynist editing of written history. It was pretty clear to all of us working on this that she was with us, so many synchronicities, Stokes of unbelievable luck (we got a professional theatre for free, no questions asked), and all of it happening within 3 months. We ended up raising $7500 for our local women's shelter. ❤️
Wow!! How can I read ur play? Are u selling the transcript anywhere?
We are blessed to have a loving and wise mother in Hekate.
We are blessed to be able to realize that.
The feeling is so strong that you already know it’s Hekate 🖤 I’m so grateful for her and I’m a devotee , Blessed be.
Blessings to you. If you haven't visited keepingherkeys.com, you may want to check it out. There's an entire page dedicated to Hekate, free resources and you can try out my private online network for free.
Blessed be. Thanks 🌿
Hekate came to me in a vision. At the time I did not know who she was. She was with three dogs and sat at a crossroads. The day I met Hekate I was given the courage and strength to get sober. I have now been sober for over 20 months and my life has done a complete 180. Thank you Hekate.
A few days ago I was listening to music dedicated to her. I felt her urge me to my jewlery box to wear my key necklace and snake bracelet. Obviously I put them on. I sat on my bed feeling wonderful that she contacted. She drew my attention towards a storage cubby and I didn't understand what she was trying to say. I looked through the stuff but nothing was related to her at all. I started looking elsewhere and I felt a pinch. Not painful just her telling me to look where she told me to look. Turns out I had keys inside of a Christmas figurine for safe keeping. I opened it and I was astounded. I immediately put them on her part of the altar.
I came here to learn something more about her, bc her name keeps ringing in my head. I'm not sure why, I really don't have any special interest in her, only respect. Trying to solve this puzzle now.just find one of the pieces in your comment - I also have a snake bracelet and key chain in my jewelry box. Lol.
@@karenc4103that’s how I got here too. Her name just started ringing in my head out of nowhere.
I have had conversations with Hecate. She comes when we need it most
100% TRUE. Hail Hekate.
Hekate has been calling me for years but I was a Christian who knew about all this. Today, I knelt and asked her to accept me into her fold. I am of Sicilian heritage and she is one of the gods of my people.
Her name just started ringing in my head out of nowhere. I knew of her but hadn’t done any work with her. After Samhain this year I found myself repeating her name in my head over and over again, it felt good. After researching her and reading some Hekatean Magick books I realised I’d been working on a painting of her all year. It depicts a hooded woman in the dark of night carrying a torch. The painting had always been about death and loss and finding the path forward. I was blown away and now I can’t believe I didn’t see it sooner.
My story of how Hekate first came to me was.. strange. I was sitting in class after this huge emotional flood washed me out of feeling. And then all of a sudden, I was looking her up and doing research, looking at aesthetics and pages dedicated to her. I became hyperfocused on her all of a sudden. And I guess that was her way of calling me to her.
It is definitely strange how we often experience her when we become empty. I'm going to add this: while our individual experience can seem highly unusual, in all the data I've collected from hundreds of Hekate's chosen, it is a very common theme.
i've been answered by hecate on several occasions now i believe. it's hard to decipher sometimes but i recently had a y sliced into my wrist while working. it's VERY clear it's a Y and I truly believe she is with me. this video was amazing and i subbed!
Thanks so much for this. I kept thinking about her and her name kept popping in my head and i kept ignoring her because i thought she was scary. But one day we had just moved to my new place and we didnt have the fence fully put up and my dogs ran out as soon as we opened the door. Two of them came home in a couple hours but my sophie didnt we live in the middle of the desert where their is coyotes everywhere. I was worried sick it got dark and i kept thinking about hekates name and I remember i spoke to her and i said fine you win just please keep her safe and guide her home. Sophie came home the next day around 10 am after that i started searching her up and looking at ways to honor her. When sophie came home I remember thinking she wasn’t supposed to come home anymore she was meant to pass the rainbow bridge. And i knew hekate had let her come home for a bit sophie passed 2 months later. And yes i was heart broken but i knew that atleast she had let her come home so that i could spend some time with her.
Recently I started my own personal study and research on HECATE and whenever she crosses my mind I fell this rush of energy like a wave wash over me, She introduced herself to me about a year ago through a music video by Olivia Newton John the song that was it called Magic it was from the movie Xanadu
I met her during a meditation. She appeared to me as a faceless woman in a purple shroud wearing a triple goddess diadem. She likes to send me small moths and is very responsive when I ask her if she’s present through her deity candle. She’s been amazing in helping me with shadow work and becoming more confident in magic.
My first experience was her showing up. I set out a big glass bowl with water for her dogs. I heard her 2 days ago and I made a crossroad offering tonight, telling her about my uprooted situation and new info… I seem to be drawn to Hekate, Papa Legba & Santa Muerta - all crossroads, keys dogs and animals, wisdom. I’m so open. Not all will understand. Thank you for great video 🥰
I understand. I too am drawn to Legba/Elegua/Eshu and Hecate recently showed up. We are getting aquatinted...Hecate and I😌✨
Recently I was violated and my car was broken into, purse was stolen. Never even dawned on me that I had left the purse in the car. Perhaps the event was divine to bring me to know her and come back in tune with the deities in general🤷🏽♀️ Anyway, all is good... Everything is taken care of. Poor thieves don't know what's coming toward them🧹
I once was very depressed and in a hard time in my life, so I was praying for her and I went to eat something and two dogs one white and the other black were outside the window, then I felt amazing and just knew it was her.
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
My whole life has been a message from Hecate. I've asked at least 3 different witches about their opinion of my mother naming me Mother Earth (my second name. Demi is short for the 256th [I think, don't quote me] music note, bc I was born 3 months prem).
I've always been protected. No matter where I go or what I do, I'm safe.
I feel the comfort of the moon at night & look up at the stars with a knowing that I'm not of this place... it used to scare me immensely, but now, after she has finally revealed herself as that protector, I feel no fear. I feel not a shred of fear for the unseen.
Born at the foot of Africa, with Cornish, French, Dutch, Indian and African native heritage; I was a weird kid. I spoke to trees & told it my secrets (even convinced my friends to do the same in grade 1 lol, but I felt it understood). I spent hours outside. Sunset, twilight and nighttime are my favorite times of the day. Especially dusk, when the daytime bleeds into night, like lovers entwined in passionate embrace...
I love fire & I'm obviously a lover of red and black lol my whole room is red and black. I'm gifted knowing things before they happen and able to touch people and make them feel better, however, I have a low tolerance for injustice, oppression & wrongdoing. That makes me angry & when I'm angry, I'm not very nice, so I hide myself from the world. A select few will encounter me - if they so please, but I realized very early on that I'm not & never will be everyone's cup of tea.
Demi you’re blessed
Thanks for sharing your story👁💫❤
Thank you for sharing this, it’s a treat to hear such a clear articulation of this very specific information regarding Hekate🐍🦉🐴🔑
When I hit my lowest and started self medicating, she was there sending owls, dogs, snakes and other kinds of symbols that are associated with her, and it lifted me up out of the dope and back into my power
I saw her in my dream my god she was beautiful goddess no joke
Same
Can you describe me what she looks like? I saw her but I'm not sure if it was her
There were so many signs & I didn't realize it fully till I started seeing her in my TikTok fyp & then it all clicked. My child had also been wearing a skeleton key necklace a while ago a relative got him, owls hooing outside my window started randomly, neighborhood black dogs, dreams, visions, some events & much more. Thank you for making this channel. It's very helpful. Much Love. 🤍
Love right back to you.
I met her when I was young , by a babysitter I had that was a wicken ❤️ so this is a reunion for me
Thank you for your help in doing that very thing.
There are so many pieces to this puzzle and I am now starting to put them together. She has been talking to me for quite some time! My mother used to see a black dog come into the house when we didn't even have a dog. At the beginning of my journey a few years ago I woke up every morning at 3:33 for about a month before I finally broke down and spiritually started asking what was going on. So many keys I didn't even realize they were?!
She came to me in thought while I was in mediation on awaking the inner witch, the thought of her kept circling around in my mind naturally, and until now I never heard of her!
Hekate often appears to me in dreams where I sense her as my own birth mother, though I never see her face and energetically she feels strange, like she is appearing as my mum but is not quite her. She is in fact Hekate. In these dreams the colour blue features heavily also. I am surprised as a new devotee when I had my very first real-world sudden message from Her, I had that exact *knowing* you spoke of. I recorded all of it, took pictures - did all of that instinctively. And immediately set up my first altar dedicated to Her and gave offerings of onion and garlic. She even let me know in another major and quite dramatic sign the next day She was pleased with my offerings. I’m new on this path but I have such great faith in Hekate and often speak to her as Hekate Phosphorus.
Thank-you so much for this video. I came across Hecate as a result of working with Papa Legba. I’m presently going through a divorce & I believe it was no accident, she’s made herself known to me.
She showed up when I was also getting divorced (she actually directed me to some knowledge that lead to me filing). She was sending soooo many signs and I thought she was two other goddesses for about 9 months. If you're in any similar space to where I was (I suspect you are), you're in great hands with her. I hope you can find security and comfort with her as you navigate the divorce
@@jaimeyoung526 I’m just seeing this comment a year later. So yes she was my protection throughout my entire divorce to a covert narcissist. The power she led me to see I possessed, was surreal. I had suppressed so much of my power, that when I embraced it I initially felt guilty. But her presence was so assertive, yet gentle(if that makes sense). I could not turn my back on her. She’s amazing!
I would like to become a witch, and learn from Hecate...and many more 💗
I have been working with a different Godess for years,and years ago I thought to work with Hecate but didn't felt right
.Now I have been drawn to her ,I keep being guided to research alot about her,I have seen her in my eyes mind she looked a tinny bit scary but I actually wasn't afraid of her I wanted to see more of her,I always loved keys old keys all kind of keys ,and recently was guided to buy beautiful keys and offer them to her..I left 3 keys to her as a offering and I was guided to choose another 3 keys that I cleansed and was blessed with her energy and guided to use this keys in a necklace I'm wearing now,also I caught myself walking around crossroads I was going for a walk in nature and I felt guided to walk to a road with a crossroad,and Hecate came to my head...I'm not afraid of her actually I'm amazed by her...Have to say her chanting is very powerful I could feel the energy.
Hekate found me as my life starting spiraling out of control. I had been looking into witchcraft but not even close to hekate and then I just felt this protective energy and then I saw a post mentioning her and it clicked. The next day I went to an antique shop with a great friend of mine and this shop was huge and we got lost and when I found her she said look I found these old keys and I knew it was her. Now I am getting ready to study her path and I feel better.
I was just blessed today with her calling. It was so powerful. I actually felt my heart opening along with chills up and down.
Thank you so much for this video. I'm brand new to witchcraft. I've always been fascinated with witchcraft, and I have been told I am a natural healer and that I feel and hear spirit. The last 4 years have been hard but just as things are starting to turn around, I've been obsessed with witchcraft, the thought that I maybe a witch excites me to my bones, but a little scared to if that makes sense. And then I keep hearing and seeing videos about hekate, I know nothing about witchcraft as I said before so I am learning. But thank you once again
You're very welcome. Hekate scares the life INTO us.
Hecate came to me in a past life reading back in 2020 where I got to know I used to pray to her in my past life, fast forward 2021 I thought I was ready to work with this beautiful goddess, but I wasn’t ready as to many things in my life got in the way. I decided to try again in 2022 and it truly was the perfect timing!
It was during the time where I had to let go of so many things…friends, habits etc. and during my first stages of working with her I went to this out door outlet/thrift shop I SAW THE BIGGEST BLACK DOG STATUE! and then I went to a different antique shop and I felt called to buy a key…the clerk gave it to me for a very low price. She is with me and I’m grateful for her 💖 hail Hecate
I saw a statue of hers in a catalog and was drawn to it, I didn't buy it but a week later I had a dream about a black dog following me. I was intimidated by it in the dream but when I touched it, it was my companion.
I was called to Hecate. Not necessarily out of the blue. I am going through a rough spot in my life, and I was searching for spells or chants I can do to ensure justice is served. I was sitting at my computer, and I saw her Justice Chant. I spoke it out loud, and all of a sudden I fell into a deep trance, and a huge amount of pressure was pushed down on my head forcing me to bow. I was not afraid, but I knew I had messed up by not making a ritual to her. I asked for her justice, and she said, "show me" and instantly all of these memories flooded to my eyes. I cried, and she took a tear from my eye, and she was gone. I instantly went to make sure I made an offering to her. I setup my altar, lit my candles, and offered roses, and lavander and a key. As I made my offering, and thanked her, my black candle began to flicker and move in odd ways. The candles reacted as I spoke. The other candles never moved once. Something happened that I had no idea what to make of, I was not scared, but was wanting for more from her. A shadow grew on my wall, it was shaped like a robed figure, with two dogs on her right side. I knew it was her. After asking her for guidance and for justice, and hoping she liked the offering, I spoke for awhile, and when I was done, Hecate's candle stopped flickering, but the shadow remained, again I was not scared and felt no fear, but felt she was still with me. I completed my ritual, and am now researching more to be able to contact her and develop my relationship with her.
I have been called recently. I have been feeling very depressed and even suicidal. I started reading one of my witchcraft books and came across common deities. My eyes found Hecate immedietly and I remembered her name from some study in my childhood. I'm on a path to communicate to her and I am feeling hopeful and strong.
How are you feeling now?
Same here. I had a deep calling within me. During some divination I asked her if she was there. The answers to me were so clear it was oddly clear. I continued to do more readings and sensed her even more. I have heard her name throughout my studies but after feeling like a deity was near. It took me months to figure it out. As I studied about her directly I realized the darker aspect of her presence was already a sign for me. I actually became skeptic again. And kept searching. Once again, I was lead right back to her. I also started receiving deep intuitive messages and just deep feelings after becoming interested in shadow work. Before I even knew details about her. I believe now 100% she arrived to help me overcome my past trauma and help me accept myself. Knowing that I am indeed a witch, in a very chrisitianized environment. Hekate did not speak to me. But revealed herself as you imply as "Knowing". I know in my heart that you will help me embrace this gift from hekate. I seek to keep her in my life. But most of all, the personal experience has already opened up my eyes. Therefore, I will always honor her as my goddess.
I saw a TikTok. With a chant saying Hecate and I felt such peace. The stage I am in my life, I feel so drawn to her
I had a dream once where I was walking my sister's dog one morning and as I turn to my left I see a tall woman, long straight black hair, purple dress and a golden recumbent crescent moon. As I'm looking at her confused, she opened her arm and extended them to me. Another story I had was one morning as I'm waking up I was in sleep paralysis when I heard a voice of a woman whispering in my ear saying "you are destined for great things" I've also seen black dogs around my area and seen "HEK" on licence plates multiple times
I got the chills during & after listening to the invocation
I'm so pleased that the invocation touched you. Lean into that feeling. It is a key offered.
Watching this makes me realize she has been calling me for years and I just never even realized... I'm so glad I finally decided to do research and seek more about her. Thank you so much for this video!
Oh my. I was so overcome with emotion during the chant. Goosebumps, eyes filling with tears. Thank you.
Keys kept coming drawing my attention
Thankkkk you!!! Hail her my goddess hecate
I subscribed! Thank u for this powerful message. Blessed be yo ho heka yo ho 🌛🌕🌜
She called me very straightforwardly two days ago. I was in a store and I came across some candles and once I picked them up the word "Hecate" repeated over and over again in my head, so I looked her up and read about her, once I got home I went to bed and the next day I set up space for her on my alter and asked for her to speak to me through my pendulum, and she spoke to me through my tarot and oracle cards as well and so now I am a follower of Lady Hecate.
That's her.
Thank you for this Hekate came to me in a medation, it made me cry 💜 since then I have made an altar for her now, and learning what I can, I was born on Halloween and always been drawn the Wicca, but never dove in deep till now. My friend had a full moon party on the Scorpio Full Moon for me. Craziest part was I started my PERIOD that night ( I only have 3 to 4 a yr) I feel I'm on the right track in life for once. Hekate has definitely made a huge change in my life. I feel blessed✨
Such a beautiful experience, certainly having our "moon time" sync up with her is a sure sign we are in her company.
@Brandi Masters lucky You Scorpio pumpkin baby :-)
I didn't know anything about Hecate until one day I sang to the moon with tears in my eyes and I felt a very loving presence I wasn't sure who it was or what it was but just felt so much love she slowly revealed herself to me it was a lovely discovery of who was going to become my Mother ❤
I am writing this half-way through your video and simply want to say thank you for the post. Your openness and honesty is refreshing, as well as your willingness to share your story, especially how she came to you. Bless you and once again Thank you.
You are very welcome. Deep blessings to you.
Thank you for your videos! I've been practicing witchcraft for about 3 months, so I'm still very much new to this world.
Thank you Cyndi for sharing this. Hekate came to me more than once in the form of a beautiful serpent and a blinking light at night, EVERY night, even though the light is turned off. Even my husband notices and so do the animals in the house. She has my back through these days of trials and tribulations and definitely taught me a thing or two. I am grateful for her presence in my life, as I am thankful to know you as well. I have been making wired jewelry keys, as if she is pushing me to do this. I am sure she has her reasons and I feel her presence all the time. This is amazing and I am enjoying every mile of this path and will keep going. Hail Hekate Soteira. If I have never known Fierce Love...I do now !!!!
You properly introduced me to Hekate . They say her name in my favorite witch movie of all time PRACTICAL MAGIC. However she came to me as Kali Ma 1st- and Shakti I'd heard Hathor but didn't even know she was a woman. When I knew her ancient name it changed things completely in ritual. She showed me a vision through a small hearth fire and I was able to summon the spirit of my deceased lover with her help. ❤I am eternally grateful to her and to you. Please keep doing your work like this. Your devotion is reaching US
25 years ago I was going through a very bad time in my life...very similar to your’s. I’ve always been a avid reader and one day went to my favorite bookstore. For some reason, I immediately went to the spiritual section (that I had never been in before), reached up and grabbed Scott Cunningham’s book, “Wicca for the Sole Practitioner”. Thus began my practice of Wicca and witchcraft. A couple month’s ago, going through a bad time again, and had to go on Amazon to order something for my house. For some strange reason, your book, “Entering Hekate’s Garden” popped up. I knew it was a sign, however, I always had a bit of fear when it came to Hekate. I bought it and the the first book, “Keeping Her Keys”. I guess I have been called!
"It's time." Is all She said to me and it was all that was needed to be said. It's wild that you had this same message. Very simple and to the point. I knew very little about Her as well when I first heard Her speak to me. I'd been a practicing Witch for over 30 years and had heard of Her but never really pursued Her specifically. I always thought She was a "darker" Goddess but yeah that's just about what I felt too. That of, course, has since changed after working with Her. She's actually really loving and supportive in our paths.
Thank you for sharing ❤️ I've been feeling drawn to her
She came to me early morning hours, I woke up out of nowhere decided to do some simple magic, for some reason I grabbed her statue and set it aside asked her to help me. I have never seen anything like it she showed me a bright orange light energy coming from her third eye and out then float above my head and go towards the wall I watch it several times in amazement then I held out the palm of my hand and asked her to come to me then it floated right above the palm of my hand it was absolutely amazing. Since then I realize that when I first started my journey about a year ago before I knew who what she was it turns out I had ordered her statue and now going through my things I first bought, I know they are my signs, I keep pulling out things that pertain to her and laughing because it is a clear sign. So cool!!! 💗
Thanks for sharing.
I am seeking to work with Hecate and I found your book Hecate: keeping her keys, Im so happy I did as well as this channel. I have been struggling to find my path, what really calls to me. I started readking about Hecate and then found you, thank you for your work, for all your info and sharing with others that knowledge.
Side note I just recently purchesed an altar trunk identical to yours in this video. I wish I could post a picture lol
i had a knowing this week; it's been dark in my life, lots of upheaval/unstableness and trauma. got out of the car the other evening after a rough day at work, and saw the strangest thing, a single bright yellow dandelion in the grass of our yard, just a foot or so from where i stepped out of the car. in the middle of winter, no other weeds or flowers or anything growing.
that's when i got the knowing.
I got an “it’s time” message during a cacao ceremony during the guided meditation/sound bath. It was crazy. My dead friend guides me thru the meditation and led me to her. She wore black and had long black hair. She had tea I think and was very nice lol.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. You may or may not get this but you have the eyes of a true witch. Left one, much more open and "seeing" . But you probably already knew that.
Thanks, my left eye sometimes has a mind of its own! I have no idea why it was so big for this video. I almost didn't share it, then figured why not.
I have too and thought I was a bit of a freak . Then I read the Don Juan books by Carlos Castaneda. Quite a few times in those conversations Don Juan refers to the eyes of a Shaman being of markedly different sizes.
Thank you so vey much for sharing! Blessed be the teacher!
Bright blessings and thank you for your wisdom of this powerful Goddess. She called me sometime ago and now I am intentionally seeking her grace, protection, and guidance. I am building relationship with Hekete and developing symbolism and understanding of myself. The more I become aware and know myself the more I manifest what is my destiny. Hail Hekete Queen of us Witches...)0(
Blessings to you.
I guess that it was all meant to be and Hekate planned it, but i actively sought-after Hekate myself, when the witch father, the man in black came to me, i asked him if i may follow Hekate, i then had the impression that he was surprised that i asked him for some reason, but he said yes and informed her.
The next day or two later, i had a dream with her name mentioned in it.
I then devoted my life to her, and we've bonded every day since.
I give her my all. I love her ❤
Great video. Thanks for sharing. Have a blessed day ✌️
She first came to me, that I’m aware of, at a crossroads moment in my life in December 2010. A point my resolve to face a daunting personal challenge was faltering. She helped me see that I needed to cast off the old to move forwards and live. I wasn’t frilled at the time, but I can look back with gratitude and laugh - she does have quite the sense of humour.
Your book is amazing and your videos are informative and amazing too! As with many, Hecate came to me during a time of personal pain and Re-strengthened me from the inside out. Hail Hecate!!
Hail Hekate!
I’ve recently reached out to her and I was doing a tarot card reading for myself last night, the night of the new moon in Pisces, and called out to her. Behind my left shoulder I felt this strong, warm embracing presence. Out of the corner of my eye I saw this hazy white light (which is literally impossible without something supernatural happening because I had only my red lights up). Overall I got a very important message. It was really touching
I could listen to you for hours... Your voice is so soothing and reminds me of my therapist!
Thank you. I was talking to a friend today and realized I was using my Dr. Cyndi voice! I do think many of us, whether psychologists or otherwise, have a certain professional voice.
I love the fact that she led me to this video when I asked her about our communication only in my thoughts!!!
One day I was thinking about which goddess to invoke during a pretty moon...then I heard her speak her name to me. Wow..what a blessing !!! She has my heart strings in her hand. I love you Hecate.. PS: Please share some titles of books you resonate with about her, Thanks...
My first book in the Hekate's Modern Witchcraft series just came out. Keeping Her Keys: An Introduction to Hekate's Modern Witchcraft is available from most major booksellers.
@@CyndiBrannen Thank you
David : here's my list of 13 essential titles: www.patheos.com/blogs/keepingherkeys/2018/11/hekates-library-13-essential-titles/
I believe she has come to me as well. I’m also going through a divorce and my father passed away in April 2021. I was struggling with postpartum mental health and was not getting enough sleep. In September 2020 I experienced what I’d describe as “thoughts” in my mind that I was responding to. The thoughts were, “this next part is going to be very hard are you ready? You will need to trust that everything is going to play out the way it needs to but you are not in control.” I said yes I’m ready and then I felt this intense panic that I was in danger and I needed to get out of my house and away from my husband. I called police in a frantic state of mind and they suggested I stay with a relative or friend. So I gathered my two boys and stayed with my mother. Everything got so much harder after that. I was taken to the hospital against my free will because no one believed that I had any real reason to fear my husband.
Thank you so much for sharing a bit of your incredible journey.
keep strong! *
Your so right, thank you and I'm impressed this was a very accurate video.
When I was a child, a large black dog used to visit me at night. I was scared to sleep alone and when this dog would visit it would talk to me until I fell asleep and I felt safe.
I’m 2019, I had two dreams she appeared to me in. In one, she led me through the underworld and protected me from “demons” for lack of another term. In the other dream, she was yelling at me through a portal and told me to “see beyond the magic.”
I was raised evangelical and terrified of witchcraft to a ridiculous extreme. I didn’t get out of that until a couple months ago, so when these things happened I had no clue who she was.
I started reading tarot this year and wasn’t practicing any protection or balance. I started having scary dreams. One day when I sat down to read this booking voice yelled “please stop!” So I threw away my cards thinking it was the Christian god telling me I was going to hell.
Now I’m a practicing eclectic witch. Persephone has been following me and I started working with her in my shadow work. About a day after I opened up to Persephone’s signs, Hekate started calling me again so loudly. She knocked the lighter out of my hand when I tried to light Persephone’s candle. Then I had a dream I was finding keys all over the house. A couple days later, I actually was walking around my house picking up random keys I found in weird places (4 of them). Then, I had 3 readings from 3 different people on 3 separate topics in 24 hours, and every single one said I’m ready to work with Hekate (even the ones I was asking something different).
So, here I am! Haha.. I work with persephone on my mental health/trauma/shadow work, and I work with Hekate in my spellcraft and herbalism studies. 🖤
Beautifully delivered may many find her and all her blessings I AM therefore it is. Hail Queen.My heart belongs to Thee.
That is a lovely painting.
I dreamed about her last night it was so clear and the beautiful birds flying in sync
I started my journey back to brujeria, and her name kept showing up everywhere. I knew nothing about her, and I felt this immediate connection. So, I started researching her. I'm not sure if we are connected, but I have set up an altar to her. 🔥🔥🔥
I'm not going to sit up here and say that I understand every bit of it but then I had the sensation to look it up I became more intrigued this was a very good video for me it helped me to understand more of what I need to do in order to receive her messages
I love your honesty. I don't believe we are meant to understand it all. The journey is seeking the mysteries.
This was very nice to listen to 🥰 I love her.
This is a wonderful video! I really needed to hear this. Thank you!
INFINITE THANKS ONTO THEE WISE MISTRESS *** BLESSED BE 🌙🖤🔥
I've recently purchased your book, keeping her keys. Although I've been a wiccan for quite a few years, I'd never worked with Hekate, but not long ago I dreamt of a black dog following me up a hill that I usually run that leads into the woods.. I kept running and everytime I looked back, there would be another dog and another dog , their eyes very fixated on me. Now I'm waiting for the Dark Moon next month to begin your book.
Hi Liz! Congratulations on beginning the journey. I'll be teaching a six week course based on the book starting July 2.
@@CyndiBrannen thank you. can you give me more info on the course please?
@@lizzardabreu certainly. You can find more in the Community section here on my RUclips or at keepingherkeys.com
So beautiful thank you !
I shared my life with a black dog named Merlyn for many years, he who was my guardian and my companion and who I now understand was no mere dog. Since his passing last year, I've included him in any rituals for protection or other spellworking and called upon him as Brother Dog (I used to say to him during our almost 13 years together that he was my "brother from another bitch"). During my first dark-of-the-moon ritual to Hekate a couple of nights ago, the very notion of a black dog as one of her animal guides brought such tears of emotion to my eyes that I'm surprised I didn't leave tear stains in my book of shadows. During this invocation, a few more tears surfaced. I wonder if Hekate's been attempting to get through to me all these years, ever since that Samhain channeling session in which I was given some guidance from Her (which, looking back over those notes from 2011, is more relevant to my current life circumstances even than they were back then). Or perhaps she was simply waiting patiently for me to come around and seek Her out, when I was grown up enough emotionally and spiritually to be finally ready to take on this new twist in my witchy path.
She shows up in my dreams even before i know nothing about her. She always guide me and help me when i needed her.
You are such a beautiful spirit. I love your vibe. ❤️
Thank you!
I am here because I kept getting The High Priestess tarot card repeatedly in readings. sometimes multiple times in the same reading
I have a podcast on the High Priestess, so check it out on the KHK SoundCloud. Also watch the Wheel of the Year class here on YT because I talk about how this year is all about the HP.
@@CyndiBrannen ok....I dont think this is a coincidence...I really had never looked very much at Hekate because she seemed quite scary ive worked with celtic dieties...also, my cat brought me a "church key" last night. this is the second time she's done this and its metal....she hasnt brought me anything else..
I had never heard of Hekate before and the first time she reached out to me I said out loud without realizing it, “Hey hey Hekate”
It hit me later to research her. I lost sights of her and she reached out to me 3 times out of nowhere today while I was in the same situation as the first. I find it amazing how she reached out so spontaneously.
She often does this. Blessings to you on your journey.
I feel like everything happens for a reason....the first time I heard about her I instantly got chills...when I was younger I attempted to practice wiccan...just got a real spiritual awakening (I suppressed spirituality due to mothers schizophrenia as I grew up)last summer...I feel very drawn to info about her...is that her calling me?
Yes it is. You can also ask her to give you an obvious message
Yes.
Beautiful, thank you so much 💜🦋
Welcome!
