Could you recommend some reputable books on Hekate?Which books should I avoid? What does Hekate represent to you? Are there any common misrepresentations of Hekate that I should disregard to establish a genuine connection with her?

Most books written or edited by Sorita d'Este (published by Avalonia Books) are interesting to learn the basics and about other people's approaches, principally

by d'Este and David Rankine. The Temple of Hekate by Tara Sanchez is interesting too from a practical standpoint.

Jack Grayle gives a solid practice structure in The Hekataeon, if you prefer to adopt a by-the-book approach.

To dive a bit deeper into the classical figure, in a more academic fashion, you can look into essays by Sarah Iles Johnston. Hekate Soteira about the chaldean/neoplatonic take on the figure, and also Restless Dead.

Imho avoid books that mostly use Hekate workings as an outlet for edgy fluff, or awkward feminist takes like Cyndi Brannen's.

Try “Love in the Darkness”, an essay by Mark Smith. It is a beautiful and personal account of a magician and their connection to Hekate. The text is part of “Devoted“, published by Scarlet Imprint. You will find it here in the book shares section.

Just posted "The Restless Dead" in Shares, couldn't find "Hekate Soteira" though.

I'm not advanced, but I can say I was only able to make contact with a... cooperative spirit again with the assistance of another magician.

I would not be able to assuredly verify if it was Hekate related, I simply wish to suggest that these adventures are not necessarily succesful if you yourself are not advanced, let alone if the method is... of yourself, highly informal. If I was going to try it again, I would certainly look at The Temple of Hekate. The Hekataeon looks more advanced.

Can I? Yes, I can. WHAT are some of my experiences working with Hekate? - You didn't ask that question.

Among some people Cyndi Brannen is known as Lady Mouldyc*nt - she reminds me of Zelda from Terrorhawks or even one of the Skeksis from Dark Crystal.
