good evening, is it possible to work with Hecate and the left hand path at the same time? Thank you
In a word, yes.
I consider her LHP. Not exclusively, though.
Yes, you can. Hecate is often used in Left Hand Path traditions because of her connection to the dead, and the underworld.
I like to think that if Hades is keeper of the underworld, Hecate is the tour guide. In a sense, think of her like Virgil from Dante’s Infernal. She allows the living to open the gates, and either venture through them or call on something from the other side. To me, the LHP is about putting power into human hands as opposed to letting it stay in the hands of the gods.
I’ve always leaned more towards her darkness, Darkmoon, witchcraft path.
She’s also one of our Patrons in the Temple of Ascending Flame so I only really work with her left hand path side but have opened up to others depending on where I am in my journey.
Yes. Hecate is a left-hand path entity as she is known for witchcraft and vampirisim.
Be careful though. She’s tricky, and she always breaks her pacts.
That’s scary… Did she give any reason?
I’ve had quite the opposite experience with her and have found her to be very loyal and protective of her followers.
Same here, never let me down.
Thanks a lot. Can you explain me more about breaking pacts?
Hecate is one of the most important Goddess in LHP and Chaos magick. Chaos magick is more dangerous than any kind of satanic magic.
I have worked with her in both aspects, she is an awesome goddess. She doesn’t break pacts as such she’s busy and she wants you to be clear and concise about what you want. For example if you wanted her to help you with a form of divination, she would be like know what type and be prepared to put the work in. If you get stuck call me later and i will see what i can do lol. When calling upon her you should be clear and loud too, she calls it a form of fury.
This is one of the only supposedly “dark” entities I’ve called on (lightly) lately… just because I’ve had 3 friends, all at the same time, telling me how amazing she is… almost like she was trying to talk to me through these people! It was so strange. (None of these friends know each other, either!)
I first talked to her consciously only perhaps 3 or 4 days ago. She seemed quite kind, really. Do you think talking with fury is actually necessary? That almost feels disrespectful.
Also do you think “pacts” are actually necessary with Hekate? I keep hearing about this, but it seems a bit much. I don’t want any attachments, either. I’m happy to walk beside a friend, but I don’t them installing tendrils or whatever the heck it is in my heart or my chest! I’m really quite done with entities doing that.
With Hekate? Not per se…
But there’s no lack of “Devotees” to Hekate and I think at some point, if you really want to progress on the hekatean path, a certain level of devotion may be expected.
Just as the path of Santa Muerte for example…
What that may entail will likely be different from practitioner to practitioner…
Thats understandable. Myself, I have an aversion to that type of thing as well.
I don’t think that’s how it works. (Unless it’s a very badly done pact with a very disingenuous being)
You need to think of it like a business arrangement or agreement. A pact is basically a contract.
In some cases that might actually look something akin to almost a marriage I suppose depending on the nature of the relationship desired with the other party (spirit/entity/deity). Moreso in a path that involves a certain level of devotion.
I’m not saying scream at the top of your lungs in shreiking tones lol. Its more speaking in loudish, firm and clear manner, being clear and concise in meaning. Its more about being confident in what you want to achieve and learn.
As for pacts i guess it depends again on what you want to learn. If your experienced and its something long term you want to learn then i think it’s viable. On the other hand you can still learn and have results with out pacts too.
Yes, as well all the others go with the path follow your intention
Yes believe you can do it and will happen it only needs your will
