Things/Songs I Associate With the Deities I Worship
I am back with this series, as I have said from the last post this is my UPG, and what I associate the deities I worship with things around me. However, there will be some that are just historically or popularly known to be associated with her.
For this post, I will be talking about Mother Hekate or Hecate.
I am her devotee, and since Kleidous-Agoge holiday has just passed, I would like to contribute this post to her.
I associate her well with keys.
Night and stars, as well as, dreams.
Books (ancient books too), road maps, and trains.
Dead and alive flowers, plants in general, especially poisonous ones, and pink flowers specifically.
Dogs (especially Black dogs), cats, dragons, snakes, crows, owls, swans, wolfs, and butterflies.
Colors such as purple, black, green, blue, gold, and red.
Witchcraft, tarot cards, spirits, change, grimoire, mirrors, torches, doors, kitchens.
All elements; such as fire, air, water, and earth.
Love, duality, all that is within the human knowledge (math, science, literature, medicine, arts), self-empowerment, and anger/fury.
Genres such as mediations, indie rock, salsa, piano or violin music, and rumba.
Some songs that I genuinely feel her around are Quimbara and Luna Sobre Matanzas by Celia Cruz, To be loved, strangers by nature, All I ask by Adele, Moon River by Audrey Hepburn, Chiquitita by ABBA, and Would you Rather by Phoebe Bridgers. Also songs that dedicate to her such as; the call of Hecate Enodia (Dathura Suavolens), Orphic Hymn to Hekate (Ancient Greek, Sebastian Sanchez-Botta), and Hekate (An Danzza).
I associate Mother Hekate with secrets, the unknown, and shadows or shadow work.
Lastly, I associate her with transformation, haunted or new houses, storms and thunder, pomegranates and tea, coffee and garlic, eggs and olive oil, diaries and clocks, old and new family photos, the full/new/crescent moon, and the ocean.
That will be all, I enjoy reflecting and writing this post. I will say that I am very grateful to have celebrated the Kleidous Agoge holiday along with my friends from the discord, Sanctuary Of the Crossroads, hosted by @daggersandtorches and @enodia-polymorphous. As well as doing the crossroad ritual with Mother Hekate (including Deipnon), it was beautiful. My connection with Hekate has been deeply moving and wholesome as always :)). I hope the goddess knows how thankful I am to be her humble devotee and to have her on my side. And...
All Hail Hekate Kleidoukhos, and her many multifaceted epithets!!🔮
