In some depictions, she was said to carry a torch, a crescent moon, and a key, which is a symbol of her power over the boundaries between life and death.

HOW TO WORSHIP HECATE:

To worship Hecate respectfully, you should approach her with a sense of reverence and respect. She is a powerful Goddess and should be treated as such. You can offer prayers, libations, and offerings to her, and it's important to speak to her in a respectful manner, as you would to any other person of authority. Hecate has a strong connection to magic and the Underworld, so you can also use magic or other rituals to communicate with her. It's important to have an open mind and a respectful attitude when approaching Hecate and seeking her guidance.

HOW TO PRAY TO HECATE:

To begin, you could address her by name and say something along the lines of:

"Oh Great Goddess Hecate, I come to you seeking your guidance and wisdom. I offer myself to you, my heart and my spirit, and I ask for your blessing in this prayer."

"I thank you, great Goddess Hecate, for listening to my words and for your guidance and protection. May you walk by my side always. Hail Hecate.”

CAN I CONTACT HECATE AT A CROSSROAD?

Yes, it is possible to contact Hecate at a crossroads. This is a traditional method of invoking the Goddess that has been used for centuries. To do this, you should prepare a offering (bread, honey, and herbs, or any other items that you feel would be suitable for her) and then go to a crossroads during the witching hour between 12 a.m. and 3 a.m. Place your offering under the crossroads sign and say a prayer to invoke Hecate. Speak with sincerity and humility, and ask for guidance and aid in whatever aspect of your life you feel most in need of support. Remember to listen for signs and messages that Hecate may bring you.

Some of my writer’s block cures:

Handwrite. (If you already are, write in a different coloured pen.)

Write outside or at a different location.

Read.

Look up some writing prompts.

Take a break. Do something different. Comeback to it later.

Write something else. (A different WIP, a poem, a quick short story, etc.)

Find inspiring writing music playlists on YouTube. (Themed music, POV playlists, ambient music, etc.)

Do some character or story prompts/questions to get a better idea of who or what you’re writing.

Word sprints. Set a timer and write as much as you can. Not a lot of time to overthink things.

Set your own goals and deadlines.

Write another scene from your WIP. (You don’t have to write in order.) Write a scene you want to write, or the ending. (You can change it or scrap it if it doesn’t fit into your story later.)

Write a scene for your WIP that you will never post/add to your story. A prologue, a different P.O.V., how your characters would react in a situation that’s not in your story, a flashback, etc.

Write down a bunch of ideas. Things that could happen, thing that will never happen, good things, bad things.

Change the weather (in the story of course.)

Feel free to add your own.

The Witching Hour

The Witching Hour, traditionally believed to occur around midnight, is a time steeped in mysticism and associated with heightened supernatural activity. This concept finds its origins in various cultural and religious traditions, with the common theme being that the veil between the physical world and spiritual realms is at its thinnest during this time. This thinning is believed to allow for easier communication with spirits, heightened psychic abilities, and more potent and powerful magickal energies.

In folklore, it is said that witches, spirits, and other supernatural beings are most active during the Witching Hour, making it both a period of potential danger and great opportunity for those practicing the occult or esoteric arts. The term "Witching Hour" itself evokes images of secret rituals, whispered incantations, and unseen forces at play, capturing the imagination of those who explore the magical unknown.

Historically, the Witching Hour has roots dating back to medieval Europe, where the Catholic church declared 3 AM as the hour most associated with witchcraft and demonic activity, countering the time of Christ's death at 3 PM. Over centuries, the more generalized midnight hour gained prominence as the true Witching Hour, perhaps due to its symbolic representation of the transition from one day to the next, which associates it as a liminal space in time, or because it occurs during the darkest part of the night.

In contemporary, this period remains significant for those practicing witchcraft or other esoteric traditions. Modern witches and spiritual practioners often use the Witching Hour for spellcasting, divination, and meditation, believing the energies are more potent and conductive to spirit work and magick. This time is also ideal for introspection and connecting to one's inner self, as the quiet and stillness of midnight provide a perfect backdrop for deep reflection. Thus, the Witching Hour continues to captivate, symbolizing a powerful window of time for transformation, connection to the unseen, and unlocking hidden potentials.
