This time of year offers a profound potential for transformation. October has always been my favorite month of the year. The crisp cool air, the brilliant autumn colors weaving through the mountains and the earthly aroma of fertile decay.
All Hallows’ Eve marks a time of celebration of life and a personal reflection and assimilation of the year gone by. Since the veil between the realms is thin, it offers a mystical time for intentional creation. The history of this holiday is rooted in Old English. “Hallowed” meaning holy, reminds us of the sacred connection we have with the Earth and our co-creative abilities when we are in “right relationship” with the natural world.
Within our energy consciousness and DNA is the reminder of honoring the beauty and power of nature, of celebrating the Divine Feminine in all of her glory as the Creatix of All That Is. The place of deep remembrance is calling us home. Right now. Can you hear it?
The Divine Feminine is rising on the planet in a new cohesive way. We are invited to come into new levels of relationship with creation, empowerment and healing the split within us that bears separation and shadow. Our shadow self reminds us of our places of power in both our suffering and our light and the multi faceted paradox of life.
Each aspect of the Divine Feminine offers a specific healing and transmission of empowerment. In the colder months, we look to Goddess Hecate to infuse us with new levels of strength, clarity and abundance. As the leaves change and begin to fall, the cooler weather invigorates our ability to gaze inward. Often depicted in triple form, holding a pair of torches, the Greek Goddess Hecate is a Light Leader with the ability to assist us in transmuting and bridging the darkness of the shadow side, or lower self, which exists in us all. Embracing our shadow nature allows our light to burn more brightly, illuminating our highest path of purpose and passion.
If you haven't worked with Hecate before, I encourage you to do so with this caveat: Her power is potent, be honest and clear with yourself and the intentions for what you want to release or manifest in your life. Hecate has the power to shine her light on our deepest places of darkness as well as to magnify our brightest light to support the deepest longings of our soul.
Ritual and ceremony are ancient traditions that connect us to the alchemy of the natural world and bear the gift of slowing us down to the present moment, where magic and limitless potential are created. Here is a ritual for you to work with your intention (see below). I recommend using the Hecate Myst for your ceremony, as well as in your daily practice to build momentum, actualizing your intention into form aka spiritizing matter.
In addition to shadow work, Hecate offers potent alchemy in matters of prosperity and love. You can invite those aspects of intentional creation into this ritual as well.
Happy conjuring!

GODDESS HECATE RITUAL
Here’s what you need:
Ideal Time: All Hallows’ Eve
Moon Phase: Full Moon-New Moon - Use the Full Moon for Manifestation and From 3 days after to the New Moon for release work
Essential Oil or Herb: Hecate Myst (recommended) or Cinnamon
Candle: Red
Flower: 3 red roses
Crystal: Ruby or Garnet cleansed in freshwater
Blank paper and pen
Glass of water
Depending on which phase of the moon you decide to work in, inscribe your paper with your key intentions. Offer the rose and cinnamon to the Goddess and her highest benevolent influence on your desires. Surround your candle with cinnamon and your chosen crystal and roses. After you have written your intentions, take a few minutes to focus on your desires. Place your crystal or crystals in your glass of water, hold in both hands, continuing to invite in your intentions. Spray your Hecate Myst over your ritual area and surrender your desire into the capable auspices of Goddess Hecate and envision them as fully actualized. You may safely burn your paper as a ritual of alchemy, expressing your gratitude to the Goddess. Take a sip of your crystal empowered water and drink the rest the next day. Watch for signs over the coming days and open your heart to the fullest of empowering experiences.
Note: Self-care is paramount in the journey of soul work and transformation. Remembering how to love, forgive, accept, and embrace all the parts of ourselves that are perfectly imperfect is the essence of compassion and a veritable portal for the transformative unfoldment of soul expression.
Pathways for self care:
- Drink plenty of clean water
- Epsom or sea salt baths
- Journal
