Hecate was the chief goddess presiding over magic and witchcraft.
She witnessed the abduction of Demeter's daughter Persephone to the underworld and, torch in hand, assisted in the search for her.
Always accompanied by packs of barking dogs.
Also associated with the spiritual world, ghosts & the dead. Pillars called Hecate stood at crossroads and doorways, to ward off evil spirits.
Hecate was the daughter of Titans, Perses & Asteria.
Honoured in households as a protective goddess who brought prosperity.
She has power over heaven, earth & the sea, bestowing wealth & all the blessings of daily life.
Her archetypal keys represent the opening to the mysterious and her guidance along our earth-bound journeys.
She is Anima Mundi, the very soul of all creation.
She is the essence, the vibration, and the magick.
Unknowable, yet as close as our breath.
To her witches, she is The Mother. Liberator. The One.
Hecate holds the keys to the unseen worlds.
She was often depicted holding two torches or a key.
Sacred animals
Snakes, toads, dragons, cats, but most especially dogs: Hecate has an extremely powerful bond with dogs: even when manifesting in human form, she is usually accompanied by a pair of hounds. If appearing without dogs, Hecate may circle in canine fashion. Somehow there will be a canine reference.
The last day of each month is dedicated to Hecate.
16 November is Hecate Night for modern Wiccans and Neo-Pagans.
Nighttime is the time for Hecate. She only accepts offerings & petitions at night. All rituals & ceremonies in her honour are held after dark. The only form of acceptable light are candles or torches.
Offerings
Eggs, garlic & honey (especially lavender honey).
Croissants & crescent-shaped bread or pastries, candles, incense, images of dogs, especially black dogs.
Place offerings on a plate or flat stone and leave them at a crossroads after dark.

Encountering or hearing a dog is an indication that your petition has been heard.
