Offerings for the Goddess: Hekate

putamagic:

These offering ideas can of course be changed depending on what you have available to you, what you can make and what you connect with but these are just a few of the items I find work best for me when I give offerings to the goddess of crossroads, witchcraft and so much more!

items labeled with * are things I find are extremely well received

Edibles

  • Breads 
  • Cakes – lit with candles especially 
  • Pomegranates *
  • Wines
  • Honey
  • Cinnamon
  • Garlic 
  • Onion
  • Milk – I prefer warmed milk but I’m not aware if She has a preference 
  • Chocolates – I usually offer dark chocolates 

Non-Edibles

  • Roses
  • Lavender 
  • Poppy seeds
  • Dandelions 
  • Blood – I’m only listening this because it’s worked wildly well for me but DO NOT ATTEMPT if you do/have struggled with self harm of any kind or are easily made ill due to the sight of blood. Hekate understand you cannot give Her your essence and she values your mental health and well being more than anything you could ever give her!!! she will love and protect you reguardless!!

Incense

  • Frankincense *
  • Lavender *
  • Jasmine *
  • Citrus – especially orange 
  • Dragons Blood

Others

  • keys *
  • Candles 
  • Tea Lights 
  • Bones 
  • Fires – i.e. bonfires *
  • Oil lamps 
  • Lavender *
  • Crow/Raven/Owl Feathers – only feathers naturally fallen off 
  • Statues of Her and Her sacred animals *
  • Poetry, literature, and music you heavily associate with Her **

Three times she raised her arms to stars and sky,
And three times wheeled about and three times splashed
Her hair with moonlit water from a brook
Three times she screamed, then fell upon her knees
To pray: ‘O night, night, night!
Whose darkness holds
All mysteries in shade, O flame-lit stars,
Whose golden rays with Selene floating near
Are like the fires of day – and you, O Hekate
Who know untold desires that work our will
And art the mistress of our secret spells.
