Hecate Enodia, You who walk apath with us, Earth.

Hecate Einalia, You of the sea, Ocean.

Hecate Sorteira, saviour, world soul, Sky.

Gifted to You by those sitting up high, are all the places far away, hard to reach. You protect us, Hekate. Those who seek you, taking the path, hard or easy, to where we are meant to go. To You.

I offer You this photo, as a show of Gratitude, for all You have given me, us, your Devotees.

Blessed Be

Hecate is a multifaceted deity. Not only does she have three faces, with which she can study everything, but she also has dominion over the earth, the sea and the sky.

As per myth she was given these as a thank you from the Olypmians (mainly Zeus if i am not mistaken) for her aid in the Titan war.

Hecate is found in all these places. Her name Hekate- is said to mean 'one who works from afar', and as such, she is found in the far reaches of these places. Deep in forests or deserts, high on mountains, deep down in the oceans.

As a guardian of crossroads, entrances and gateways she can also be found at thresholds, such as the sealine, edges of forests and in hills.

Hecate sees us everywhere, and those who are willing to put in the work, she rewards with her blessings and protection.

A truly remarkable goddess, who i am honoured to call my matron deity.

Thinking on and off about doing some sort of dragon scale divination bag thing. Similar to a rune kit, but I want to make a bunch of unique scales out of clay to draw from. I'm slowly cooking up a list of personal associations for each one, but the list won't really be finalized until the scales are made. Just want to have a bit of wiggle room for some inspiration from whatever dragons pop in and want to give feedback, as I don't want to do just plain solid colors with all typical associations.

I love this idea, thank you for sharing it! I was just thinking about runes and how I like them, but they don't necessarily fit into my practice as I work with Hellenic deities and dragons...I think the thought of having a bunch of different kinds of dragon scales instead is genius. You can have a bunch of different colors, iridescences, shapes even perhaps...fantastic concept. I hope you don't mind that I also consider this idea for a project..this is also to say, I really do vibe with runes naturally so I may still get a set someday (never had one.) I like the thought of having a collection of related items / symbols in a bag that you divine with.

Feel free to snag the idea! I'd honestly love to see what kind of scale sets other folks come up with. :D I know people do similar casting divinations with charms, bones, and other random trinkets they've found/developed a system for, so dragon scales seems like a natural way to go for anyone who works with dragons.

[hekatedrakaina]

absolutely, it totally does. I will maybe think of a model/art concept for this first. maybe by looking at different scales on different species in my minds eye/art I come across. Like if a water dragon scale looks different than say an earth dragon scale? etc. so exciting!

not me with a pep in my step this morning lmfao

I'm not quite sure where I found this image now, possibly instagram? When I saw this dragon, I wanted to be this dragon tbh, I love the design. I want to be it/him/her/they. It's for sure different looking than your regular western and even eastern dragons. It reminds me of one of the super big mega dragons from How To Train Your Dragon tbh, but I love that. I'm sure the artist must have taken inspiration from the films. Big fan in all honesty, of most dragon content in general that has come out within the last 2 decades or so...call me a fanboy/girl if you wish. I love em.

I wonder...what would someone work on with this kind of dragons help/aide? I feel toughness against the elements, whether that be physical, mental, or spiritual. Definitely a dragon to work with in the winter but also all the seasons. Would love to see this lady in the spring time, I'd imagine this dragon hibernates through the spring and summer. Just my take on this dragon...probably is a dragon of war as well...which actually corresponds to my recent interest in the god Ares 🤫

This dragon definitely breathes ice instead of fire.

Had a dream that I drew this dragon and felt disappointed when I woke up that it wasn't real so I drew it all over again.

this is such a cute little theydy. 🍓Dragon 🍓

Merry meet fellow draconic practitioners! - & anyone else interested in dragon magick- I have compiled some herbs that I associate with Dragons and Dragon Magick, these can help you connect with them and their energy in your workings - I also like using them as offerings.

Dragon’s Blood (Resin, Incense): Although not specifically an herb, dragon´s blood as a resin/incense symbolizes strength, protection, and power. It’s often burned as incense or added to spells for potency and used to call upon dragon spirits. For as long as I can rememeber, I love this incense & it helps me enter a very focused state for dragon meditation; also, I´ve read dragons like this scent too.

Mugwort: Used for visions, dreamwork, and psychic connections, mugwort helps in accessing the astral plane, where many believe dragons reside. It's especially helpful for working with Lunar or Astral Dragons. You can use it in tea, but please do not use orally if you´re pregnant*

Cinnamon: Associated with the elemet of fire and energy, cinnamon adds power to spells, invokes Fire Dragon energies, and aids in manifestation, passion, and protection. For me, this is a very strong herb that can either be the foundation for spells, or add a very strong potency to them, just like Dragons do! I love to put cinnamon sticks for my Dragon altar to channel their energy.

Ginger: This herbs goes hand in hand with cinnamon for me. They´re similar, but ginger's association with dragon energy stems from its energizing, protective, and invigorating qualities, making it a powerful symbol of strength and resilience in both physical and spiritual realms.

Rue: Because of this herb´s powerful protective properties and known for clearing negative energies, we can focus this energy in banishing and protection spells, while calling upon dragons as protectors. I´ve found that once you get to know your Dragon and develop a closer relationship, we can request their protection while practicing the craft.

Sage: Meditation is one of the main ways to connect with Dragons -this is how I meet two of my Dragons- so I recommend this herb to use in preparation of your sacred space for meditation: sage is known for purification and clears out negative energies. This way, we can cleanse and use it to invoke dragon energies when starting a ritual or meditation.

Dandelion: Known for resilience and adaptability, dandelion is used for calling upon dragons for wisdom and endurance, especially in transformative or challenging situations. I personally associate dandelions with the Elemental Dragon of Air, Sairys.

Saffron: Perhaps my top favorite herb for Dragon Magick, for me saffron just embodies draconic energy. Whenever I use this herb in my spells, it seems to work quicker and stronger (great for banishing and repelling negative energy). Also, saffron’s vibrant color, energizing properties, spiritual symbolism, and rarity -just like Dragons, not easy to "obtain"/come across but very rewarding once you do- link it with dragon energy. It represents warmth, transformation, and a kind of regal power, qualities that align it symbolically with the essence of a dragon’s life-giving, protective, and transformative energy.

------------------------------------------------------------Thank you for reading, I hope this list helps you in your journey, remember that you can make your own correspondences & associations, your Dragons will guide you through this as well.
