Embrace the Magic of Hecate - October’s Goddess from the 2024 Moon Goddess Diary 

Hecate is the Greek Goddess of the Moon, the Night, and Magic, revered as the ‘Divine Mother of all Witches.’ Often depicted as the Triple Goddess, Hecate embodies the Maiden, Mother, and Crone, with each aspect representing different phases of the moon and stages of life. Alternatively, she is portrayed as the wise Crone, associated with the dark moon phase—one of the most potent times for magic.

Hecate’s incredible power lies in her ability to claim and use all her gifts of witchcraft, necromancy (communicating with spirits), sorcery, magic, intuition, and healing. She holds strong connections to both the earth and the underworld, possessing the keys to access gateways of transformation and other realms. This month, let Hecate guide you with her sage wisdom and fierce protection.

Weaving Hecate’s Magic into Your October

Mantra: "I am learning to create magic in my life."

Crystals: Moonstone, jasper, and obsidian for protection and transmutation. Carry these with you or place them on your altar to invoke Hecate's energy.

Totems: Black cauldrons for creating and making magic, and silver keys to unlock the gateways to other realms. Consider adding a small cauldron and a key charm to your sacred space.

Exercises: Embrace activities like running, walking, or cycling. These exercises help you connect with nature and ground your energy.

Smells: Forest and bush scents like bark, trees, resin, fallen leaves, and herbs. Use essential oils or incense to fill your space with these earthy aromas.
