Has anyone here been a Hekate devotee for 10+ years? If so, how has your practice changed over time (if it has at all), what would you tell new devotees that you wish you knew when you first started, etc.

Since the year started, I’ve experienced quite a few big losses. My neighbour, who is a really sweet and well meaning woman, is a devout Christian and we often have friendly conversations where we talk about or beliefs and she has always been very open minded and respectful about paganism.

The issue is that I’m a devotee to Hekate (she knows who Hekate is and he’s even borrowed a few of my books about her to understand my beliefs better), and my neighbour will frequently mention that she is constantly praying to her god for me, as well as other comments about how god has a plan for me etc etc.

I understand that this really isn’t a big issue, but it makes me feel like she doesn’t value my beliefs. I’m hoping there’s someone who can give me some insight about how to bring it up to her in a respectful way, and maybe help her understand where I’m coming from, as I know what she’s doing doesn’t come from a place of hate.

Thank you and sorry in advance for any spelling/ grammatical errors.

Recently I decided to finally get a statue of Hecate for my altar, when It was first ordered it was supposed to arrive after a month(which is completely fine by me!) For context, my partner is in hospital with heart failure and has been waiting for a new heart, which has been a challenge due to his height, weight, build and blood type. Fast forward to yesterday and the Hecate statue arrived two weeks early, and when I checked the delivery tracker it hasn’t even been dispatched yet. I brush it off and was just so thankful to have her. We later found out that there was a match for my partner and that he is receiving a new heart. The logic in me is saying it was just an odd coincidence but it’s nice to think that she arrived when I needed her :)
