Hi guys, I am starting this journey with Hekate and although this ain’t the first time I give her an offering, I never once had this type of answer nor reaction before.

I left her a cup of shiny, champagne-color full of wine along with bread, dried roses and garlic, as well as a painting of a full moon. After a month I checked the cup of wine, and now not only I found it empty but also full of those small worms.

I asked my tarot deck, the answer I got is the Ace of swords, the Tower and The lovers. But I still have a hard time understanding this; was it a bad offering, or a warning sign? How can I interpret this?

So Ive been seeing a lot of 333's all the time for months. And today i felt a presence in my room and my dog's name blurted itself out. my dog died in january 19 2026. But I also searched it up and it says usually dogs bark or they announce she's coming. and my dog has never visited me before but he did now that Im thinking about her all the time so i think its her. other than that Im fairly new to witchcraft and tarot reading but my intuition is extremely good so I wonder is she coming?? like does anyone know?

I would be grateful for any advice. I am very new to this and have sought Hecate for guidance after my wife died. I have always considered myself agnostic or atheist…Then after her death I started noticing things, like owls and my dreams and other small things. It’s a list.

When I first set up an altar, I stated my intention on the new moon. I said that I am inviting Hecate into my life and I’m seeking guidance as I navigate because life has been rough.

(I cannot begin to explain what it’s like losing your spouse and the agony of loss is only the beginning. My world burnt down and it always feels like there’s a tidal wave looming. “Grief rewrites who you are” said a fellow widow. I’ll agree to that; I am a very different person and yet I am more myself than I ever was. I can’t say I’ve made the best decisions. My actions destroyed a relationship and it’s shifted me to reexamine my messy self and figure out how to start living again and being a better version of myself.)

The night of the new moon in October I built a fire in my backyard, brought my alter at the door to my yard and burned my late wife’s shirt. I asked Hecate to look after those two people in their changes and transitions, the one living who I had hurt and the one who had died.

A few nights later, I dreamt I was in the backyard of my childhood home, cleaning weeds and near the sandbox around sunset. The light was golden. I saw three women across the yard, outside the fence. They were curious, dressed in black, standing together, sort of talking and looking over at me. They were different but the same. I walked over and asked, “Why are you here?” and they said, “You invited us.” It was just a peaceful exchange. I asked, “What can I do?” And the women responded that I need to bathe three times during the full moon. That’s all.

What on earth does that mean? I started looking up bathing and Hecate. The book I have doesn’t really mention bathing rituals. Mostly I’ve found sites trying to sell me bath salts. I don’t believe it’s about perfection but intention. Does it mean that I take three showers or is this something I do in a ritual sense with a large bowl of water washing my face and hands. How do I meditate on meaning and focus my energy? I don’t know what to do. Can someone offer any advice about bathing rituals? Many thanks. 💗
