Calling Hecate and Release the dead

Call Hecate and 

Release the dead Spell.

Fan with a crow feather.

Burn White Willow Wood

Blow in the end of a sea shell...to call her dogs.

Do ghosts throw plates and dishes, hoping to be fed their last supper? Do they create sounds and noises of such great clatter to arouse the senses of something or someone?   Why do they seem to come out toward the light when we shine it? 

Well … Hecate knows why, and maybe we are all just part of the plan.

On the dusk of November16^th, it is believed that a great goddess walks the night. She is called Hecate (Hekate). Hecate represents the aspects of the Triple Goddess: fertility and plenty, the moon, and the underworld. 

She is the supreme ruler of the earth, sea, and cosmic worlds.

In the times of the great Greek gods and goddesses, she was known as the keeper over wild places, childbirth, and the crossroads, where the veil between worlds is always thinnest.

During the time of the Pre-Olympians, Zeus named her to be divine because she was the one that gave aid to the gods as they battled the Titans. It was said in whispers that … Zeus shared his powers with her even though she was not allowed to sit on the council; she still had absolute power over all as the adviser.

That should not surprise any of us, for the council only had the highest and finest called the Twelve Olympians. Demeter, Poseidon, Athena, and Artemis were some of the Olympians she had tight bonds with, assisting them in many different perils of their own lives.

There is a lot of lore about this queen of the night and who she is from many different cultures throughout time. She was called “The Ancient” by many and possessed a physical aspect of an old crone or hag.

She has been described with a bright and shining torch, which shines so bright it lights up your wisdom,reaching far out to find lost souls and the damned ones. She also carries the tools to open any gates with one key and a knife to cut the silver cord from the life of newborns to ghosts.

Now knowing all of this, it might not hurt if a paranormal investigator wanted to worship her. Since she too is on a quest for ghost.

People who offer homage to her will burn white willow wood incense and chant her name. On the nights when the veil is the thinnest, villagers would leave food out in the streets to feed the souls that traveled with her; it is called “Hecate’s Supper.” Once the food was left out, you were not to look at the offering again, for one would not wish to see what would be feasting upon it.

But a paranormalist just might ... the thrill of a meter jumping or the sound of a plate moving is what we live for. So … could it be that ghost, apparitions, or imprints communicate with the investigators so they can be found?

You can find Hecate guarding the crossroads in all aspects of life, lingering in sacred fields of the dead or cemeteries and in areas of great catastrophe. Her biggest role, however, is in her travels on the nights of the dark moon, when no moon shines.

She travels as the “Nameless One” with her dogs and lost souls that she has collected with the rest of the hunters. These nights are known as “The Wild Haunt.” It is on this night, in general, that she walks the ethers to collect souls from their own purgatory and bring them to the underworld.

“They say when you hear the dogs barking … it is too late, for she is close at hand.”

If Hecate is the ruler of all things, including the cosmic world, would it not be of great importance for her to collect these pieces of the ultimate consciousness and would we as paranormal investigator not be assisting her? 

Paranormalists use many tools to detect paranormal activity. We find ghosts or spirits lurking in either physical or transcendental areas of space, where the veil is thinnest.The veil is known in some beliefs to represent the cosmic consciousness. Many people are beginning to believe that everything is       connected on a deeper, more spiritual and physical level.

So for some of us, lately deep in paranormal work, you may have noticed a large increase in your abilities to find ghosts and your own intuition, especially on dark moon nights.

This is because as our consciousness grows on the entire planet, so does the power of Hecate.

So maybe, just maybe, we as ghost hunters are her truest worshipers and don’t even know it, assisting Hecate on these wild haunts. 

It is something to ponder!
