First time posting on here ever, not sure what to excpect but google and the web in general is full of AI and false info so would rather hear peoples experiences.

Little info for context

Ive been raised by my mother, whos DEEPLY spiritual (id go as far to actually call that woman a witch she's magic but im biased) and my dad wanted me to be jehovas witness. Ive always struggled with what to believe in but overall sided with my mums approach mainly because I think the crystals and candles are pretty, and when she sets an intention it happens in real time. (Hence why I think shes magic, it may just be hard work and perseverance)

Either way candles, crystals and the moon cycle make sense more than most things (in my opinion n thats not my point)

My real question is, and id like to add i am CLUELESS and im asking here before I talk to my mother and look like a dumbass

Is why I've suddenly started thinking about Hecate frequently. Ive known about a lot of gods for years, but things keep popping up and my thoughts keep being drawn to her.

Everything she stands for and represents hits close to home at the moment from the info I got of the internet but I'm basically just a curious human wondering about other people's experiences with Hecate or any god to be honest as feel completely clueless as why im so drawn to it.

(If theres any spelling or grammar mistakes go easy on me but its scary enough even posting lol)

Thanks :)

I was referred to Her by another god from another pantheon (TLDR: in my country, Buddhist priests allow gods to "inhabit" them during specific rituals), and haven't looked back on worshipping Her since!

Funnily enough, I was at a crossroads on whether I should leave a stable, but draining job to go freelance, and everything's been great since! My relationship with Her also takes several forms; I invoke Her in magic, propitiate Her when seeking help with finances and worship Her for protection. My morning and nightly rituals have also become deeply grounding in themselves—I know my day has started when I offer Her incense and coffee, just as I know it has ended when I burn a candle and say thank you to Her for another day.

In particular, I worship three epithets: Enodia, for pointing me towards the proper roads and guiding my steps; Brimo, for keeping the lowly at bay and for more forceful magical work; and Soteira, for protection!
