You’re very welcome, @sarah29! I’m happy if you found it useful 
And I don’t think it was “odd” at all- this forum was made for these types of magickal questions, interactions, and all that goes beyond the boundary of what many would call “normal”. I thought it was a great post! 
While everyone has a different experience working with deities, I think it is very common and natural to be unsure about how to first begin working with them- so no worries at all! 
The forum gets lots of inquires about how to begin working with deities. If you’re still feeling a bit hesitant about how to approach working with Hecate, maybe looking through the following discussions will help give you more ideas and encouragement:
- How Do You Find and Connect With a Deity?
- Approaching Deities - Reverence is Key
- Deities in the Practice: Should You Pray to a Deity?
Sometimes reading the advice and encouragement of others can help to build confidence with deity practice- but that being said, the most important thing is doing what feels right for you and your Craft!
Wishing you all the best with building your bond with Hecate, and hoping that your loved ones are doing much better now!
Love and Light
