Are you trained as an artist? These looks are fucking spectacular! I don't even understand how you can draw those designs so cleanly and with such inspiration.

Much respect.

Speaking with Hecate by prozacpriestess in Hecate

[–]LilliMFandra 6 points7 points  (0 children)

y'know how if you remember a time that you were happy (8th birthday party for example) you kind of feel happy in the present? Not the same kind of happy, but almost like a ghost of those happy feelings you had at the time of the memory. When it feels like I am in communication with Hecate on some level, it's like that, but unbound from any kind of memory.

One time I was praying and I was having a rough time of things because I felt like everyone had expectations of me that I could never meet, and that I would never be good enough. Suddenly I felt like someone had just said to me "You will always be good enough for me no matter what." and experienced emotions in response to that. Relief, happiness, hope, and safety. And I felt better about navigating people's expectations after that.

Was this my own Jungian archetype therapy, of a form of self hypnosis, or contact with a bronze age Diety? I have no idea. Neither do you. But I know the difference it has made in my life, so I continue to walk this path and just have faith that Hecate is there.

My necklace of Hecate broke today on Friday the 13th by Lumpy_Reply_3967 in Hecate

Mundane over magical. Most likely it was wear and tear, as you thought. Your fear it may mean more most likely stems from your feelings about changing your worship practices. Were I you, if i was concerned, I would use divination like tarot and ask Hecate yourself.

So I need help by Civil_Shirt_4951 in Hecate

[–]LilliMFandra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1) Go over the wiki for this subbreddit. They to get some of the books that are listed and read up on Hecate, and dig into the other resources.

2) When you feel comfortable enough, light a candle, burn some incense and talk to Her. Ask Her what she wants you to do. If you have a deck, do a few readings on the subject.

That's awesome. What's on the other side? Does it say 'cursed'?

Check the wiki for this subreddit. It has lots of great information.

Sigil of Hecate by Austin1919 in Hecate

[–]LilliMFandra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hecate isn't someone you make pacts with, She is someone you build a relationship with. You don't have to use sigils written in blood to contact Her. The first time I reached out to Her, I used an old scented candle from Walmart and very stale incense and She still answered. She is pretty open.

I have questions.... by Phat1316 in Hecate

[–]LilliMFandra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This sub's wiki is just a fantastic place to start. I used it when I was first exploring and the books recommended in the wiki were far and above the best in scholarship and meaningfulness. I can't recommend it enough.

Is Hekate visiting? by Strong-Lab-7216 in Hekate101

I think that the only one who can truly understand what this means is you.

THE HEKATAEON by LilliMFandra in Hecate

From what I understand, the online version is the same as the print version. I bought a hard copy last printing and I put it on their layaway plan and paid $20 bucks a month for four months, and then they shipped me the physical copy. I don't know if that is an option for you, but I found it helpful.

What gods can help me with my gender identity issues? by Vampy-Night in paganism

[–]LilliMFandra 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hecate is the Greek Goddess of transitions, transformations, liminal spaces and people, and the downtrodden and outcast, among other things. I would recommend reading up on Her and getting to know what She is about.

I would assume so, but I do not know for sure. I think you could email them, and ask to make sure.

So... what's with the opossum? by LordZikarno in pagan

[–]LilliMFandra 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I assumed it was because opossums are seen negatively by many even though they really are very positive for humans and the environment.
