On last week Wednesday, my mother found my altar to Hecate and she insulted her, she said that Hecate was a demon and wasn’t real, I got so mad I went to my fathers house since Thursday.

I came home today, and she has a big stomach ache that hasn’t gone, she can’t eat much and she told me it really hurts.

I asked her when did it started and she told me since Thursday, and I prayed to Hecate really sad and telling her everything that happened on Wednesday night.
Could it be like a punishment from Hecate, or her wrath, or something like that?? I’ll do some divination to find out , but I want your opinion.

My mother told me it started because of some pills, but I don’t know, I more feel like it’s because of what she done.

Btw, I have a strong feeling that it is because of that, am I wrong for being kinda happy or satisfied that she faced the consequences of disrespecting my beliefs?

I asked the tarot, which I know is not the best but I’ll meditate today for answers, I got the king of wands, king of pentacles, and the magician.

What I interpreted is that it is a yes and it’s the fruit of her actions, she got this on herself by iconoclasm.

And I’m not the best at interpretations but I have a strong feeling that my interpretation is correct, but I could be wrong, or misunderstanding the cards.

I explained more detailed what she did on this post :

Does the environment affect if a spell will work or not?
For example, where I live, is a heatwave and hasn’t rained for weeks, I did a rain spell but it didn’t work, it was 1 day ago, when I did it, it just got windy, but it hasn’t rained.

And this happen with other types of spells??

I’m a begginer, so I don’t know a lot of things, I’ve known the basics since last year but I haven’t fully commuted to study. I’ve done other spells like hexes but a basic and not so powerful one and it worked, but the person I did it to could take it off, any other idea or help on how can I stop them from taking my spells off? If you have any books, I’ll be very grateful.

Ever since my mother destroyed my altar to Hecate , I haven’t been able to do long prayers like I used to, I just pray quietly and quickly.

Last night, I did an altar to Hecate that was very, very improvised, and I did some offerings, a glass of water because I didn’t have wine, garlic, and a dead rose (I don’t know why but I like to offer her some flowers that are close to die or dead already.)

And when I prayed, I feel like it didn’t much connect ?? Idk how to explain myself, but I felt like she didn’t hear or answered, not that I asked for anything like a blessing or sign for it to be given, but I didn’t felt much the connection I felt before my altar was destroyed.

The offering I did last night I putted them under a plant in my yard today morning, since I couldn’t leave them for more than last night.

The offerings I did on my altar before it got destroyed lasted weeks, so I would take that like before she accepted them.

Any advice or something that could help me with what’s happening ??

Btw, could I offer her bones from a bird ??

Which is the best book to learn even more?? I mean most modern books have the same info, I was looking for old magic, if anyone knows a book with great info and spells, let me know.

Do yall know where I can find some prayers to her? Of the prayer to Selene for every occasion? I haven’t been able to find neither.

If you have one, please share the link or write it, I’ll be sooo grateful.

Can I pray just mentally or by saying the prayer ? I know that you should kneel or sit and put your hands on the floor or ground to pray to chthonic deities and say an hymn, then an invocation, and it something pretty long

I mean, for example, like when I’m at school and they pray, I pray mentally to Hecate and I heel tap the floor 3 times, I don’t say an hymn or an invocation because I haven memorized any, I just say the prayer I did myself, then I ask or say thanks for something, and just yap, and finally I recite the prayer I did myself again, and then I heel tap saying the 3 epithets of her I directed the prayer to.

Is it okay ? She normally answers those prayers, but I don’t know if it’s correct.

I asked about what is the most probable future to me in my spiritual and magical life. By the decisions I’ve taken until now and my decision patterns.

The cards that popped were :

1. 4 of swords
2. Knight of cups
3. King of swords
4. The fool
5. The strength
6. Inverted 10 of wands

And the bottom deck energy is The Hierophant.

I got the 4 of swords, knight of cups, king of swords, the fool, the strength, inverted ten of wands, and bottom deck energy is the hierophant.

my interpretation is that throughout rest and not rushing anything, I’ll get pretty good opportunities and great things will happen, but I have to mantain my intellect and my mind clear by not letting any desire blind myself, I will have freedom and happiness, by having a clear path, full of opportunities and infinite potential, and by having a mind that doesn’t auto sabotages, I will have compassion and mental strength, as well as balance, releasing any burden, or any heavy thing that makes me doubt probably.

I don’t know if my interpretation is at least kinda good, because I’ve just started tarot, but in other questions I’ve done and some reading I’ve interpreted things pretty well.

By now, I know all the basics, I’ve read some books, I have her Orphic hymn, I’ve created some of my own, I’ve built kharis.

What’s like the next level of books I could read? The only ones I find are telling her story, mythos and stuff but I’ve already read that.

Please help with new books or what next step I can take.

If you know any devotional acts I could do that are not the basics (I’ve done most of them) or other things I could do to honor her. I’ll be grateful if yall let me know.

I’ve been having troubles with my shrine since my family is hyper noisy, when I pray, could I pray with an image that I have in my phone?? Because I don’t like to have my drawing about Hecate folded and in small hidden places because I find it disrespectful.

I know that maybe this place isn’t where I should be asking for this, but a need someone that can do me a reading. Please.

I performed a spell, to another witch, because she tried to hurt and get into my friends life’s so I did what I had to, to defend them.

And she did suffer it, she took it off herself and today, something pretty weird happened to me, I wanna know if she returned it and that’s why it happened or if it was just something meant to be.

Please help

Mi madre y mi hermana entraron a mi habitación mientras estaba en la escuela. Destrozaron mi altar y creo que tiraron las imágenes de Hécate que tenía y todo lo demás.

Así que tal vez no pueda rezar con un altar, y le había prometido a Hécate que estudiaría sobre ella e investigaría la mayor parte del tiempo los miércoles y sábados, pero no creo que pueda hacerlo.

He pensado en dejar de escribir sobre lo que aprendo y simplemente leer y rezar. Al menos hasta que todo se calme.

¿Algún consejo? ¿O alguna sugerencia sobre qué podría hacer?

I can’t help but feel so bad, I know she won’t get mad or anything but it’s so disrespectful, my mother called her a demon… I even wanna cry.

How can we interpret when we ask the cards to describe a feature or something physical from the desired person ?

Performing spells like a hex to someone who hasn’t done anything to you, is wrong and produces miasma, I know. But what about to someone who hasn’t done anything done bad to you, in any way ?

Or a love spell, it could produce Hamaritia? Like a spell for someone to start having feelings for you?

And if you do it, even knowing that it could be wrong , it could provoke even more miasma?

And what could be the “right” version of it to do if it is wrong ? Like what could make someone start having feelings for you that wouldn’t produce hamaritia ?

By the way, those are examples, because a love spell is what could mostly interfere with someone’s free will.

I’ve just read a comment section (on TikTok, lol) which said that Hecate isn’t really the goddess of magic and witchcraft, that it’s just a modern interpretation. That she was just the Goddess of crossroads, liminal spaces, etc.

But I wonder, if she was not the goddess of witchcraft, Why in the PGM most of spells invoke her or involve her in some way? Also in the myths, why did Medea and Circe entrust themselves to her?

Some people said that in Ancient Greece magic was something profane and punishable, but for I know, the only type of magic that was rejected in society was the one to make other people sick, or love spells and rituals.

I have this horrible feeling that my sister will see my altar, so I had to undo it, could Hecate get displeased by it ?

Background, my older sister is pretty noise, she doesn’t mind her business and when I’m out she checks my closet, which in the bottom part, hidden, was her altar.

She has read my notebook with my prayers and all the research I’ve done about Hecate when I was out, and I left it in my bed, and we don’t even share room, she got it and just read it. I am so mad that, that same day she told me I was a satanic lunatic and that I pray to demons, I hated that she called Hecate that. I mean she read my stuff and thought she was a demon? She’s way dumber than I thought.

To be worst, her and my mother are Jehovahs witnesses, they even call me satanic for liking horror movies. Gods get me out of here.

Back to the point, could Hecate get mad at me or displeased by so ? Where could I leave her offerings?

How can we know if Hecate isn’t interested in us ?
What are the signs?

If she answers our prayers, we feel the connection, have an altar, honor her, and we feel her, does it mean she is accepting us ? Or just having us sometime and then she’ll leave us ?
