I am a beginner. What I can do?

More people come closer to the Goddess from all over the world, especially from Europe, America and Australia. Though ancient Gods are worshipped in their indegenous places, others, like Hekate seem to work equally well no matter the place. From 2000 a.C. good books have been published to promote valid information on the cult of the Goddess Hekate. Also, online fora, groups, pages, websites and blogs have good information, experiences, advices etc. But still, there is a lot of misinformation out there. From people who claim to be priests and priestesses of the Goddess, to writers, group owners etc. There are also groups who know nothing about the ancient world, but they mix modern religions with Hekate, creating confusion.

The beginner has a safe route to follow. Reading ancient texts, studies on ancient hellenic religion, magick, divination, celebrations, philosophy and theology. There are also good books for Hekate, which are relatively easy to read, and lastly, anthologies with experiences from other devotees of the Goddess.

Another source of information are websites and blogs which are well documented with ancient texts and not new age crap or imagination of the authors, who look like an ancient poet.

The next thing for a beginner is to create a shrine (dedicated altar) with a (cleansed and blessed) statue of the Goddess, red candles, (cleansed) offering bowl, relative symbols (bull, horn, key, torch, bronze talisman, dog/snake/goat/horse statue, ebony, dagger/sickle/whip idols etc.). Spend daily time in front of the shrine performing invocation, praying, pathworking and offerings. You will find more info on our menu section. If you practice Wicca, you have to create a shrine for Hekate only or put Her with a suitable partner in your altar and spend time daily for devotional work.

As you read and spend time in the shrine, you will notice if the Goddess will make a contact with you and what kind of contact this will be. After some months, you will know what to do. Please, do not use the signs from the Goddess, like beginners do on tarot or every form of cartomancy. Those people make a daily reading and they spend their day trying to accomplish that reading. Don't do that and don't see signs everywhere.

Theurgy and Philosophy are two different methods which lead to the union with God.
