Hecate Oil

Goddess of boundaries, crossroads, witchcraft, and ghosts

It’s about time we released this oil. Hecate was the Greek goddess of magic. She is associated with crossroads, entrance-ways, night, light, magic, witchcraft, knowledge of herbs and poisonous plants, ghosts, necromancy, and sorcery.

As a goddess expected to avert harmful or destructive spirits from the house or city over which she stood guard and to protect the individual as she or he passed through dangerous liminal places, Hecate would naturally become known as a goddess who could also refuse to avert the demons, or even drive them on against unfortunate individuals

Those who worshiped Hecate believed she was a protector of the home and served as a goddess that had dominion over the underworld. Thus, she was often worshiped in home shrines as a means of protection from unwanted spirits and ghosts.

Hecate was closely associated with plant lore and the concoction of medicines and poisons. A number of other plants (often poisonous, medicinal and/or psychoactive) are associated with Hecate. These include aconite (also called hecateis), belladonna, dittany, and mandrake.

It has been suggested that the use of dogs for digging up mandrake is further corroboration of the association of this plant with Hecate; indeed, since at least as early as the 1st century CE, there are a number of attestations to the apparently widespread practice of using dogs to dig up plants associated with magic

Testimonial:

Goddess Savannah I love the Hecate oil,even the box is gorgeous well worth the wait. I have been spending time alone with the Goddess hecate statues that I have I did not hear audible words but she told me that I need to stop being foolish and learn from her, the torch to see the truth and light my way in times of trouble ,the sword to cut out those and things that no longer benefit me and the keys to open doors that have been closed and explore new opportunities. Yes I listen. I love this idea and shadow work you suggested. Its early in so I may hear more but wanted to say thank you for this exercise. And to thank all members of the coven and namaste to nehru, I believe I forgot to say that in thanking for the chakra work that was done. As always dark blessing lovely Savannah.
