As twilight stretches its inky fingers, shadows lengthen and dance with unseen secrets. Forget other tools; we use Hekate’s flame to scry. This fire is a portal to crossroads unseen by day. We’ll read the flames’ language, where colors and shadows reveal answers. This is a journey for the curious, the brave, those who seek their own knowing, led by the goddess of hidden paths. Are you ready to leave logic and learn from embers and smoke? We bring our questions, curiosity, and dance in Hekate’s light. There, we reveal the mysteries in the night’s fire.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• A black cloth

• A black candle

• Mugwort

• A small mirror

• Incense (frankincense, sage, or myrrh)

• Offerings

To begin, dim the lights, silence your phone, and create a space bathed in hushed twilight. Lay a black cloth upon your altar. Place a black candle in the center. The flame of this candle will bridge the veil between worlds, a torch illuminating the unseen. Arrange your offerings near the candle.

Place a small mirror behind the candle, angled to capture its dancing reflection. Mugwort, an herb known for its connection to the unseen, can be scattered near the flame or held close during your scrying.

Before embarking on this journey, take a moment to ground yourself. Breathe deeply, letting anxieties melt away into the shadows. Center your being, becoming a vessel ready to receive Hekate’s wisdom.

Light the Incense. As the smoke spirals upwards, say:

“Hekate, queen of crossroads, guardian of the veil, I call upon your presence tonight. In the flames’ flickering pulse, reveal the truths hidden just beyond sight.”

Pass the candle through the fragrant smoke, purifying it as a beacon of divine guidance. As you do this, say:

“As smoke ascends, carrying prayers on the wind, I cleanse this flame. Hekate Phosphoros, may its light be pure, a beacon of your wisdom, drawing your secrets from the darkness.”

Light the candle, focusing on its dance as a gateway to Hekate’s realm. Let the flickering light fill your space, casting shadows that hold whispers of secrets waiting to be unveiled.

Hold the mugwort close, allowing its earthy scent to fill your senses. Breathe deeply, inviting its energy to guide your intuition and open your mind to the whispers of the unseen.

Position the mirror behind the candle, capturing its vibrant reflection. Soften your gaze, allowing the flames to become the sole focus of your attention. Enter a meditative state, letting go of thoughts and expectations.

Formulate your question clearly, whispering it to the night air or holding it silently in your heart. Invite Hekate to reveal insights in the flames’ dance, their shadows and colors unfolding the map of your inquiry. Say:

“Hekate Phosphoros, goddess of light, I stand before your fiery torch, heart open and mind receptive. In the swirling dance of this flame, may I glimpse answers to the question I hold within. Let its shadows dance, its colors ignite, and reveal the map I seek, guiding my understanding through the unseen paths.”

Let your mind wander in a state of focused awareness. Don’t force visions or interpretations. Do you see shapes shifting within the flames? Colors weaving stories in their dance? Symbols taking form in the flickering shadows?

Trust your intuition and allow the emotions evoked by the flames to guide your understanding. Hekate’s language is not one of words, but of feelings and impressions. If symbols remain unclear, speak your confusion to Hekate. Seek further guidance, understanding that silence can hold wisdom too.

When the flame dwindles and your intuition finds closure, gently extinguish the candle. Take a moment to ground yourself, returning to the present with open eyes and a thankful heart. Record your visions, feelings, and interpretations in a journal. As the days unfold, revisit these notes, allowing Hekate’s wisdom to illuminate your path forward.

Return to your offerings and express your gratitude to Hekate for her presence, her guidance, and the mysteries whispered in the flames by saying:

“Hekate, Dark Mother, Weaver of Crossroads, I stand before you with a heart overflowing with gratitude. In the flames’ dance, you gifted me glimpses of truths unseen, unraveled secrets that lay hidden from day’s gaze. Your wisdom is a torch that guides my path, and I carry it with reverence within my soul. May these humble offerings resonate through the night, reaching your shadowed realm. Accept my thanks, Queen of Mysteries, Goddess of Light, for your presence, your guidance, and the messages carried on smoke and flame.”

When readiness settles, extinguish any remaining incense and let darkness embrace the space. Carry Hekate’s wisdom within you, a torch lighting your journey through life’s hidden paths.
