Incantation:

Lovely Hecate of the roads and crossroads I invoke;

In heaven, on earth, and in the sea, saffron-cloaked,

Tomb spirit, reveling in the souls of the dead,

Daughter of Perses, haunting deserted places, delighting in dear,

Nocturnal, dog-loving, monstrous queen,

Devouring wild beasts, ungirt, of repelling countenance.

You, herder of bulls, queen and mistress of the whole world,

Leader, nymph, mountain-roaming nurturer of youth, maiden,

I beseech you to come to these holy rites,

Ever with joyous heart and ever favoring the oxherd.

Meditation

Helping with: Death, underworld and general guide to the lost souls... She helps souls find their path and also guides the dead ones. Often she is surrounded by the dark faeries, herself having a fae aspect too. Can help with divination, breaking the curses, cleansing, breaking negative energy and negative life patterns. Can also help raise vibrations and bring peace to the soul, assist with spells and magic rituals. Often she's connected with magic and healing - so she can teach you all of that, and witchcraft.

Other known aspects: I am aware she has a black fae aspect, though I don't know the name for it. She is also a triple goddess together with Diana and Artemis. She has aspects of maiden, mother, crone.

Often used form: She is represented with w heads - snake, dog and horse. Often it is said she is connected with werewolves. She has a humanoid form, appears also as a moon herself.

Physical appearance: long black hair and black eyes, long flowy dress and smile. This is the way I keep seeing her usually.

Personality: She is very soft and lovely towards people, but can be also very demanding especially when we do something, we had been warned about and need help after. When she appeared usually she was very protective, preventing some nasty curses from happening to me. I could feel her motherly side when I was sad for a while too.

Personal notes: She seems to appear for me when something negative is going to happen to prevent it - she prevented me to activate two nasty curses, helped remove other ones connected with my past lives and be there when I needed feminine influence in my life. When I burned her candle, it held for months even if it wasn't as big. She also explained that she is the moon herself. So she controls any moon power and can help you remove any curses too, or use the moon in your spells or cleansing.

A suggestion - if there isn't moon energy and you need it - use a silver candle instead.

She also helped me with one of my most powerful spells, which was cast during the full moon.
