Good afternoon. I have come across many different sigils of Hecate, tell me, is the original source of the very first sigil the Chaldean oracles? And why would a single Deity have so many sigils?
She’s old, not a grimoric demon and doesn’t have a sigil,
Sigils come from the much later medieval monks thing, but modern occulists are ignorant of this and keep wanting sigils for entities that don’t have them and never had them, so they just make them up.
She’s a god. You can use her name and don’t need to mix traditions.

I find the best way to connect to Her is to recite The Orphic hymn To Hekate.
Below is the hymn with explanations:
As for the so many sigils attributed to Her, I just think of them as a way to connect to a specific part of Her through modern lenses. Remember, She is an Old God, She has many Faces and Aspects.
If you read Modern Magick by Donald Kraig, he explains why gods have so many names. In his example, you as a person have multiple “faces”, for your mother you are her son, for your father you are his son, for your lover you are another person, and so on. Everybody has different faces for different people.

You can always just ask her for a sigil and just channel her for one
