Time of Hekate
Nighttime is Hekate’s domain – a sacred time for interaction and worship. During these quiet, dark hours Hekate is believed to be most receptive, only accepting offerings and petitions when the sun has set.
All festivities, rituals, and ceremonies honouring Hekate are held exclusively after dark. The ambience of these gatherings is carefully maintained to align with her preferences; the only acceptable sources of light are candles or torches. This creates an atmosphere that is intimate. The flickering flames of candles and torches symbolise the illumination of wisdom and the shadows of the unknown, resonating with Hekate’s dual nature as a goddess of magic and the unseen.
The last day of each month is set aside as a time to honour her. Also, in Italy, Hekate once shared a festival with Diana on the 13th of August. Friday the 13th in August holds an even more special sacredness, likely due to the convergence of the date with her associated attributes of magic and mystery. For modern practitioners of Wicca and Neo-Pagan traditions, November 16th is recognised as the Night of Hekate.
Justice, Life & Death
Hekate is an ancient spirit, known as a Goddess to some, a Titaness to others.She embodies the convergence of life, death, regeneration, and the mystical realms of magic. Her dominion extends over wisdom, choices, expiation, victory, vengeance, and travel, painting her as a figure of immense power and influence. Significantly, she stands as an omnipresent witness to every crime, symbolising an unyielding force of justice and moral balance.
She gets involved with seeking justice, particularly in cases of sexual crimes against women and girls. In situations where conventional channels of justice fall short, Hekate’s intervention is often invoked as a last resort for retribution and fairness. This reflects not only her role as a protector but also as a dispenser of justice beyond the reach of mortal systems.
Hekate’s power to grant or deny wishes places her in a unique position of authority. This attribute allows her worshippers to seek her favour in various aspects of their lives, be it for protection, fertility, or victory. Her protection is sought not only for humans but also for animals, particularly dogs, highlighting her influence over both the natural and supernatural realms.
In matters of fertility, Hekate is specifically petitioned to bless with female offspring, underscoring her connection to womanhood and the cyclical nature of life. Her prowess also extends to the battlefield, where she is believed to bring victory, showcasing her as a deity who can sway the tides of war.
Hekate’s healing powers are particularly revered, especially in scenarios where medical interventions have failed, positioning her as a beacon of hope for those suffering from ailments. She is also a deity who can be petitioned for a swift, painless transition from life, reflecting her dominion over life and death.
When it comes to the sources of my research on Hekate, I must admit that I did not document them during my studies months ago. However, I have access to most of the books listed in this recommendation thread:
. Love you and thankyou 
The timer is showing 3:37am for me, so to avoid being an actual hibernating bear the next day (lol), I will partake at sunset. I just made some homemade candles, so I will light one up in the name of justice! Specifically both protection against and justice to be served to those seasonal scammers who are giving quite a few us a difficult time.
I hope things resolve as quickly and smoothly as possible, and you can both go home and rest. 
Really going now!
I’m really going now!
) Night of Hekate! 
If they exist they are eluding me lol. I have a nice candle picked out though- I’ll light it when I get home tonight, hopefully close to sunset!
