Prayer to Hekate on the Dark Moon
Goddess Hekate, Queen of the Restless Dead,
Hear my prayers on this night that belongs to you and your ghostly entourage!
I ask that you protect my home from all things malevolent and miasmic
Shielding me from all that haunts the night with no moon
Only Begotten Maiden, please look upon me with grace, and spare your loyal follower from the spirits at your command
And may those vengeful and roaming dead that follow you on this night leave me be.
I ask that you also cleanse me, Goddess Hekate, helping me to shed all that ails me and makes me impure
Making me fit to serve you and the other gods, and to aid those around me, free of negativity and unease
May I be renewed upon this night, venturing into the next month with a clean slate
And may I be released from all those things in my life which bring me distress.
Hekate, Mistress of Souls, Averter of Evil, please hear my prayer and grant me your favor on this night!

Hi, can you tell us more about the relationship between Apollo and Hecate?
Definitely! I find relationship between Apollo and Hecate to one of the most interesting things I’ve come across.
In short, Apollo and Hecate are counterparts. This is indicated in their names, their functions and also in the way They are related through their parents. A fragment from Hesoid’s work says that Apollo and Hecate are the parents of Scylla. I’ll be talking a little outside the mythology as well, so if you’re not interested in that, you can skip to the last part, where I’ll include mythology.
Hecate is the female equivalent of Hecatos, an epithet of Apollo. Both mean ‘working from afar’ - and this probably points to Apollo as an archer and Hecate as a witch. Alternatively, Hecate also means ‘the shining one’, which is equivalent to Phoibos, the epithet of Apollo which means the same. Both the divinities share two more common epithets, ‘Soter’ and ‘Soteira’, which mean ‘saviour’; and 'Kourotrophos’, meaning 'nursing, protecting the young’.
Apollo and Hecate are cousins, since their mothers, Leto and Asteria are sisters. Something interesting that we come across while studying the family tree is that Hecate was very often equated with Artemis. Euripides even says that Hecate is the daughter of Leto. Adding to this, Artemis and Hecate shared common epithets like 'Phosphoros’, 'Phraea’, 'Angelos’ by which She was either identified with Artemis or was merged with Artemis. This also explains why Hecate has the epithet 'Kourotrophos’ which more commonly belongs to Artemis (for She is the protector of children). Hecate appeared as Apollo’s companion first at Miletos, and then at Didyma as well. From this, many conclude that Hecate is the predecessor of Artemis; it was Apollo and Hecate who were originally paired, and that Artemis later came to replace Hecate.
The connection between Apollo and Hecate is the strongest when it comes to their roles and functions. They are both oracular divinities.
While Leto and Apollo presided over the prophetic powers of light and heaven, Asteria and Hecate took over the prophetic powers of dark and chthonic world.
An equally important role of both Apollo and Hecate is guarding the doors. They’re both invoked to guard over the doors and protect the house.
Both the Gods watch over the cycle of birth and death - Apollo, by bringing summer and winter, Hecate, by guiding the souls to rebirth. Consequently, both are the guardians of tombs. (I’ve talked about chthonic nature of Apollo and his association with death, if you’re interested).
As the goddess of magic & witchcraft, Hecate is seen as the goddess who can control the mist & create illusions through maigc. Even though Apollo not described to have any official association with mist, he is seen to be using it many times during the Trojan war. He uses mist to cover Hector, Glaucas and even to create a hologram of Aeneas.
Hecate as a mystic divinity, was associated with Apollo and the Muses.
They both have the element of fire connected to them.
This is all I could find. All the connections between Apollo and Hecate which were worshiped began diminishing with the increased worship of Artemis and subsequent replacement of Hecate by Artemis (or merging of both the goddesses).

Lately I have been feeling distant from Hecate. It hurts me because I feel like she has to be a part of my journey, but something is telling me maybe she's moving away from me? I'm not sure. I had a random thought that maybe Persephone is one of the deities I'm supposed to follow instead? I don't know.
Been thinking about Hecate but haven't spoken to her yet. This will be my way of acknowledging her and sending her and her devotees some love!
Hail Lady Hekate
//TW for mentions of abuse
I felt Lady Hekate Brimo watching over me today. I sought Her out in a time of need after escaping a very abusive relationship a bit over a year ago. I have asked for Her aid multiple times with the situation, and me working through it. I have not felt safe in my city since escaping.
I went to a convention today, and there was a chance my abuser would’ve been there. I sent up a subconscious prayer asking that my abuser not be there, and today, I was able to go safely.
I cannot be more thankful to Her. I feel Her watching over me. Lady Hekate Brimo is a very intense and deep presence to be around and work with. I am blessed that She considered my cause worth helping. She has helped me begin my path of healing from what was done to me, and direct my baneful work.
I will have to find time to give Her some good offerings soon. The Gods take care of me, and I cannot be more thankful to them.

OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS SO MUCH HAHA
Tiny bab is very adorable and honestly I think Haya would adore them. Not just because they’re short either, she just likes people despite her scary appearance haha.
Breaking news
Local racoon gardener finds scrybe tall enough to make responsible for their own shortness! More at ten!
That’s right it’s @sasaleleselfships‘s @scrybeofchance, Haya! After reading about them and her canon height I just couldn’t resist cuz, yknow. It’s hard to be a somewhat human-sized creature these days. At some point Hekate‘s just gonna end up bonding with Magnificus over being so damn small.

a “feminist retelling” is not when persephone and hades are a happily married couple. a feminist retelling is where she kills him
