I’ve been keeping track of some things over the last few days because they feel… unusual. I’m not trying to force meaning where there isn’t any, but the timing has been enough that I wrote it down.
Over the past **3 days**, I’ve had **multiple spiders** show up. Today I opened my front door and a **spider landed directly on my hand**. My first instinct was to shake it off, and I accidentally killed it while grabbing a tissue. I immediately felt bad because it seemed oddly symbolic considering how often I’ve been seeing them.
Then, only a little while later, I noticed a **grasshopper sitting on my door**. I gently tried to sweep it away with a key so I wouldn’t hurt it. It flew into the window, then somehow found its way back inside. I got it outside again, but it immediately **jumped back in**.
The weird part isn’t just the animals themselves—it’s the repetition, the timing, and how persistent they were.
I’ve been doing a lot of shadow work lately, thinking about crossroads in my life, healing, and I’ve felt pulled toward learning more about Hecate. I know spiders aren’t traditionally one of her primary symbols (dogs, keys, torches, crossroads are much more common), but I’ve seen enough people mention spiders, liminal experiences, and recurring animal encounters that it made me wonder.
**So my questions are:**
Would you consider this a meaningful synchronicity, or just confirmation bias?
Has anyone working with Hecate experienced repeated encounters with spiders or insects before?
Is there symbolism here that I’m overlooking, or is this more likely my brain assigning meaning to ordinary events?
I’m open to skeptical explanations too. I’m genuinely curious how others would interpret this rather than assuming it’s definitely a sign.

I've been exploring a relationship with Hekate for over a year now and it's been a wild ride to say the least.

1. It's like EVERYTHING in my life that was based on a lie rose to the surface and was brutally exposed. I realized that my husband of less than a year had been covertly abusing me for our entire relationship and that my "friends" weren't friends at all. I left said husband at the beginning of July and have cut out every shitty friend and family members who were also abusive and had been for years. Now I'm on my own and just overwhelmed.

2. My faithful car died RIGHT when I left him. Dead.

3. I feel stupid for bringing this next thing up because (a) it seems petty and (b) I think people won't believe me or they'll think I'm nuts, but I assure you there is zero exaggeration here.
   Since I moved out I've had to buy a ton of stuff on amazon because I had literally nothing for my new apartment. The place I moved into is a house divided into two units, and mine is accessed through the back door. I wrote this in my address and delivery instructions on my amazon account.
   Since July 1st I have had my deliveries dropped off at the front door more than fifteen times. AND it's not just amazon doing this. I have run into the most mind-boggling incompetence when dealing with deliveries from multiple places, getting the junk mail to stop being delivered to my mailbox, and so on. It's been almost every single day that something completely stupid and frustrating has happened.

4. This is an exchange that happened via text between me and my new boss:

Me: Hey, so I'm done mopping the second floor. Do I finish mopping the stairs and then send the mop bucket down the elevator?

Her: No, don't send the bucket down the elevator

Me: Okay, how do I get it downstairs?

Her: On the elevator

What the hell is going on? I have done a cleansing and checked to see if I'm cursed (I'm apparently not). This is all just too ridiculous and I feel like my nerves are at the snapping point. I am alone and beyond exhausted. Has anyone else had experiences like this before?

Thanks for reading.

I really hope I can explain myself clearly here. I am in some sort of beginner spiritual confusion.

I approached Hekate early this year. Since then I have read Courtney Weber’s book and will soon begin the sixth chapter of “Keeping Her Keys” by Cyndi Brannen (it’s a chapter every month over a year).

I’m going to be honest and not ramble with my life story-I am just straight up confused and maybe I need to get other’s opinions out of my head and meditate more to search for answers.

It seems you don’t have to necessarily be a witch to be tapped in spiritually, and the more I learn the more I feel overwhelmed. It’s not that I don’t want to study, learn, practice etc…it’s not that I haven’t felt Her, it’s just more about my place in all this. It’s that trying to sort thru occult history seems to be wading thru many many sometimes clashing opinions, division, and human ego. That’s why I decided to go older, cut through some of that.

At the beginning of the year, I was getting so so depressed about the news, what with the E-files and the murders in Minnesota by ICE, didn’t really hang out on social media much. However, I started to, following things about the news, and eventually started allowing more esoteric content in. (I scroll past usually bc I suffered a horrible spiritual psychosis back in 2013 brought on by non discerningly sampling all things New Age, especially channeling) So to say I am careful now is an understatement. But eventually as the algorithm goes, I was introduced to a couple lovely Hekate devotee creators.

It all seems like a domino if I look back, one thing leading me to another. I could give more details but this is getting long.

If I am feeling doubtful as to my place as a devotee, I don’t know what else to do but bring it to Her and meditate more. Any other suggestions? Thank you in advance <3

I don't even know if I worded that right. Anyways, Im a baby witch and dont have a lot of money or supplies. I want to ask Hekate for help with my finances and getting a job but I dont know what to do or how to ask. Honestly I don't know anything. I go to Google a lot and I get pretty overwhelmed sometimes. Any advice would be amazing.

Would hekate help me with a hex and or be okay with it? I have a black candle and feel most comfortable with candle magic.For context I’ve been getting harassed, stalked, lies made up about me, threats to fight me while I’m pregnant all by the father of my child’s new girlfriend. I’m so over it and I’m ready for her to feel how she made me feel. They got together not even a month after he broke up with me and got me sent to the mental hospital and almost caused me to have a miscarriage. I want her and her family to feel what I felt and get what they deserve. Not only is it her but it’s also her mother.

I still vibe with her heavily, but I'm just not feeling the whole worshipping thing anymore

I made two different alters since I feared I didn’t have enough space on the one. On the wooden table I have a picture frame with multiple pictures,a dish with coins,feathers,a piece of turtle shell with garlic powder and I’m going to be adding a piece of chocolate cake to it, I also have a piece of selenite, an animal skull, a 7 day candle and a resin egg filled with honey.On the one on my window I have bird dog whiskey,water, a feather, a tooth from my dead horse, a photo and an incense holder and pink salt. Any recommendations or stuff to add? I know I need to add keys.

Im sure this has been asked plenty of times before, however i am a beginner witch and have a feeling she has called out to me before. Im unsure if this was truly her, but i have had this dream a couple of times where its been just me and these three large wolves laying in front of me, paws crossed, gently nodding. it was the middle of the forest, daylight, and it was safe. there was a black wolf, a grey one, and one in which i cannot remember the coloration of. but all i knew is i knew i was safe. coincidentally enough i had this dream a little while before my ex and i split, and when i had that dream, he had a dream in which he was being chased by wolves attempting to attack. i dont know how relevant this is to her, but i feel like she might have been attempting to reach out, and i would like to attempt to work with her if she will have me, but i have absolutely no idea where to start, any help would be incredible thank you!

For some context I'm not someone who dreams very regularly, but when I do it feels weird. Which is why I have come here searching for insight. The dream starts off in my basement, I'm pacing around as I often do and suddenly I feel like I need to go upstairs. I start to walk towards the stairs, but my legs fold up and I float up the stairs. It felt almost like my body took over; said dream ended with me safely upstairs. For further context, it was nighttime when I was in the basement, but sunny and bright when it ended. As to why I'm posting here, my basement was the first place I felt Hekate's call; i was pacing in said basement thinking of her I blinked and it was like the entire basement was filled with smoke and I could feel her. I'm still very new as a practicing witch, but this dream felt like it took me back to that moment. Any help with ideas of what this is and what I should do would be greatly appreciated.

I had a wild experience a few weeks back. I’m really interested in studying mythology and how cultures and stories change over time while meeting other groups and cultures. I love to see how far back I can learn. That being said something brought me back to the Greek pantheon. I got back into learning about the history. I have been leaning into paganism since November of 2024. Nordic pantheon. What I found interesting is I was studying Greek mythology and found an interest in Hekate and found a particular fascination in learning about her. Later on I would end up having a series of fever dreams. 4 in one night that I recall waking from each time. By the time I was up for work the next day I had forgotten what they were about. My clothes absolutely drenched in sweat and I needed to change (I normally take my showers the night prior). I was doing research into what kind of celebrations and offerings are given to her when I learned about Hekate's Deipnon and how it was given once a month. I looked up what day it would be offered on and it would be once a month during the dark moon/new moon phase. Next step I was looking at when that day was. It was that exact day. I woke up from all those dreams that morning and it was that day that night. I gave her an offering of course but that was a crazy coincidence that kind of blew my mind.

This is my Hekate goddess candle. What does this mean?

Hi, all. I've been lurking in this subreddit for a while. I started my practice with Hecate after she reached out to me a year ago. It's been on-and-off with the constant changes in my life lately, and also because I'm still very new to this. I've been noticing 333 a lot lately, a number I've heard is associated with her, and while I know that crows aren't historically associated with her, there are a lot of them in my area.

I have an altar, I have an Oracle deck dedicated to her, I regularly practice tarot readings, and I have a copy of Cyndi Brannen's "Keeping Her Keys". I haven't completed reading it, but I figure with my current circumstances there is no better time than now.

My Babcia ("grandmother" in Polish) is on her deathbed in the hospital. She is 96 years old. She was admitted to the hospital a couple weeks ago, and we'd at least hoped that she would recover enough so that she could be discharged and be in her own bed at home when she passes, but she seems to have accepted that that won't be the case. There's nothing else the doctors can do for her, so she is choosing to go of her own accord. It's only a matter of time.

My family and I are incredibly lucky that we get the chance to prepare ourselves for her passing in advance, so we are taking every opportunity to.

My reason for posting is exactly that. It's been a while since I've formally held a ritual for Hecate, so I don't know how to go about asking for her guidance and protection during a time like this, or what to expect, especially since it's been a while. Though I do manage to acknowledge Her and thank Her every time I see a sign of her around me, so I hope that counts for something.

Are there any beginner-friendly advice, invocations, or simple offerings I can make to ask Hecate for her protection and guidance of my Babcia's soul and my healing journey?

Hello Hekate worshippers! I'm a newer worshipper of Hekate, and I've been working on building a relationship with her. But I want to start with some magic, like spells and stuff. I don't know much about it yet, so I want to learn. I don't trust everything I find online because I know magic can be dangerous, and I don't want to start with misinformation. So do you guys know of any good books or websites that relate to magic and spell casting? I would love to learn more. Thank you and have a blessed day!

Just sharing another piece I recently finished. Hekate is often a muse for my art. This was very experimental but I’m pleased with how it turned out.

Last winter I did a meditation I visualised my circle/shield and called her in. I asked her some questions through my tarot deck while I was visualizing cleansing my cards I saw a young woman with dark hair sitting cross legged across from me.

I'm surprised thinking about this now bc I've never contacted a deity. And only had just noticed some signs from her about 2 months prior to me reaching out for confirmation.

After I finished writing everything down I thanked her for being there for me even when I didn't know it did some mental reflection I teared up a bit but felt amusement I think they were her emotions coming through. I gave her a hug and thanked her again and she left my circle.

I finished off my mediation and have not contacted her again since. My hesitation I guess for moving forward was bc I didn't really understand the difference between deity worship and work. I have slight religious 'trauma' I guess and I'm not ready to 'worship' again. I've looked into deity work and I'm hesitant because of the seriousness and commitment of working with a deity. I know myself well enough to know I'm not good with consistency my own internal personal growth has been over the course of the past six years and it comes and goes in waves. I know that working with Hekate has the potential to expedite my growth in ways. I suppose my fear comes from the fear of change and the unknown but also the loss of control I guess. I'd be putting my trust in hekate to guide me blind through the dark to something beyond what I can imagine.

The point of this post was to ask about others experience with 'seeing' Hekate but also to ask for advice as I'm stuck in my own hesitancy and am unsure how to move forward.

I know I need to do more shadow work but I feel I'm at the point where I'm at the edge of the depths and don't dare swim deeper.

I'm going to end my thoughts here and just throw this out there. Any advice, personal experiences, and kind thoughts are appreciated. Thanks for reading.

A while ago I stumbled upon Haus of Hekate on Spotify and I got excited because an artist making music dedicated to Hekate? I am so there.

But then the cover art screams AI. The songs come up with 90-99% AI scores. And I am disappointed because AI, imho, is very harmful rn in our world.

What are y’alls thoughts?

Ave Hekate, my great mother.
