Hecate represents the aspects of the Triple Goddess: "goddess of fertility and plenty; goddess of the moon; and goddess of the night and the underworld." I think because she encompasses so much, she is attractive to many witches. Hecate is portrayed as "the most powerful- who could give plenty or destroy totally." Since she is so powerful I can see why so many wish to be close to her and to have her as their personal deity. I think her ability to completely destroy is overlooked. People tend to only want the good or the power but never the consequences. She is known as an "underworld goddess" and as a Goddess of the Dark of the Moon. Typically, spell work, casting, ect. is not done during the dark moon. Instead, many choose to recharge, rest, and or use the time to think/plan. When it comes to working with Hecate, I personally prefer to take the dark moon time to acknowledge her power, give thanks, and pay tribute to her. Things that are said to be sacred to Hecate are, "key, rope, dagger, torch, cauldron, dogs, owls, and wild animals." For those wishing to connect to her, maybe use some of the listed items while trying to do so.

Side Note for the Side Note previously stated. I do not condone literal sacrifices to Hecate (as mentioned in the website listed, in the past dogs were sacrificed to her).https://inanna.virtualave.net/hekate.html

Maybe a stupid question, but how do you meditate with her or any goddess/god?
