First Ritual with Hekate

On the night of the dark moon, I finally did a sort of connecting/connection ritual with Hekate. Since the start of my Wiccan path and way of life six years ago Hekate has been in my mind. Unfortunately, I was one of those who took the misconceptions of her to heart and I pushed her from my mind as an idea to be my Matron goddess and instead, went onto Cerridwen and many other deities as my matrons.


I have been through Cerridwen, Bastet and Brigit, all of which are beautiful goddesses who have helped me become the person I am today. It wasn't until recently when I watched Pagyptsian's video on youtube where she took part in a ritual called 'The Rite of her Sacred Fire' which is considered a dedication ceremony to Hekate in which you open your heart, mind and soul to her and banish your fears and doubt from your heart. Unfortunately we are not allowed to burn candles or incense in the apartments on campus, so I had one battery-light candle that I used and a flower that was given to me that just reminded me of Hekate. It was a wonderful experience because I could feel her with me. I felt that not only is she guiding me with her torch, but also that she is burning my doubts and fears away. I feel I can put my burdens in her hands and she can help me sort through things and banish the parts of myself that are a hindrance to my spirituality and me growing as a Wiccan and as a Witch.
I am really glad I have done this, and I can't wait to dedicate myself to her after I get to know her more and more, she is really helping me to get to know the light and dark sides of myself and accept myself as a person, she also helps me to see from the perspectives of others and to judge justly. Not to mention she is a protector of women and children and so when I have to walk across campus at night, I ask for her protection.
Brightest Blessings. :)
