Honouring Hecate: Introducing Our New Altar Candles
We're thrilled to introduce our newest creation: handmade Hecate Altar Candles, crafted with devotion for those who walk with the Queen of Witches.
Who is Hecate?
Hecate (pronounced HEK-ah-tee) is the ancient Greek goddess of witchcraft, magic, the night, moon, ghosts, and necromancy. She is the keeper of the keys, the guardian of crossroads, and the torchbearer who lights the way through darkness. As a triple goddess, she embodies the maiden, mother, and crone—representing the full cycle of life, death, and rebirth.
Hecate is a powerful ally for witches, offering protection, wisdom, and guidance through life's transitions and difficult decisions. She is often called upon for:
- Protection and banishing work
- Crossroads magic and decision-making
- Shadow work and transformation
- Divination and spirit communication
- New moon and dark moon rituals
Our Hecate Altar Candles
Each candle is lovingly handmade with intention and respect for this powerful goddess. We've chosen every element carefully:
Dragon's Blood Scent - This ancient resin has been used for centuries in protection magic, purification, and empowerment. Its rich, earthy aroma creates the perfect atmosphere for Hecate devotional work.
Rainbow Moonstone Crystal Chips - Moonstone connects us to lunar energy and the divine feminine. Rainbow moonstone, in particular, carries the energy of all moon phases, making it perfect for honouring Hecate in her role as moon goddess and guide through darkness.
How to Honour Hecate with Your Altar Candles
Here are some ways to incorporate these candles into your Hecate practice:
Create a Hecate Altar
Set up a dedicated space with:
- Your Hecate altar candles
- Keys (Hecate is the keeper of keys)
- Black tourmaline or obsidian for protection
- Dried mugwort or yew
- Images of dogs, torches, or crossroads
- Offerings like pomegranates, garlic, or honey
Dark Moon Rituals
Light your candle during the dark moon to honour Hecate's connection to the hidden and mysterious. This is an ideal time for shadow work, divination, and seeking her guidance.
Crossroads Magic
When facing a difficult decision, light your Hecate candle and ask for her wisdom. She is the goddess of the crossroads and can illuminate the path forward.
Protection Work
Call upon Hecate for protection by lighting your candle and asking for her shield. The dragon's blood scent amplifies protective energy.
Simple Hecate Invocation
"Hecate, keeper of keys,
Guardian of the crossroads,
Torchbearer through the darkness,
I honour you and ask for your guidance.
Illuminate my path and protect my journey.
Hail Hecate!"
