Gods and fear.

[Morivelle Sabbatica]

Has anyone had an issue with working with a diety by being limited because of fear?
I was considering working with Hecate.I wasnt sure and had mixed thoughts about it since the beginning. It even came once to a situation in which I thought of Hecates dark side and i literally felt terror.Has anyone ever had a similiar situation?
I was simply considering yet another time if its a good idea at all.I believe i should be called an agnostic witch since im not really so certain what is it that might sit there above us.I was wondering if that lack of certainty could make a bad idea out of diety work.Id say that after I was left speachless after just invisioning the endless pit of darkness I did get my answer...interesting thing is that the feeling dissapeard as rapidly as it came and i dont feel it anymore.But I am still afraid of even trying...

Naturally. It makes sense to be afraid when deeply contemplating any "dark side".

I was simply considering yet another time if its a good idea at all.

In order to help I need more details:

Do you have clear intentions for your working with Hecate?

Did Hecate call to you?
Are you drawn to Hecate?

Have any others called to you?
Are you drawn to any others?

I believe i should be called an agnostic witch since im not really so certain what is it that might sit there above us.I was wondering if that lack of certainty could make a bad idea out of diety work

Not necessarily.

Id say that after I was left speachless after just invisioning the endless pit of darkness I did get my answer...interesting thing is that the feeling dissapeard as rapidly as it came and i dont feel it anymore.But I am still afraid of even trying...

Is there something specific that you're afraid of?

What's the worst that could happen?

This presence is not Hecate and if you want to work with Hecate, you should use a different method to connect.

Never.

When I was younger, in few cases I was a bit 'anxious' due to excitement rather than fear, so to speak, but it changed since. Now, I've faced many of greater/est authorities, but I see them as equals, on soul level; not above not below. This is not disrespect towards them, this is (genuine) respect towards myself, and this is something they actually appreciate and value greatly.

Every being have a dark side, whether it is Infernal, Angelic (yes) or any other deity or entity, just like everyone else, including you and I.
ㅤIf you approach a deity with fear, doubt and terror, it's very likely you'll self-feed this frequency and through it, keep your psyché under the dark water and if your senses and channels are not on top, you may fail to receive their attempt to 'calm you' and pull you out, to guide you, if there was any, of course.

It's important to identify where your fear is coming from, and why do you struggle with it. Why are you afraid to begin with?
An another important question is, whether it was Hecate who called to you or you are the one who wish to approach? If so, what are your motifs and how clear, genuine and determined are you?
If it was a strange, hard to describe attraction towards her, it can be also a sign with deeper ties than you'd understand in this moment, but either way, it's not malevolent.

Your fear can twist and turn reality into something you will easily misunderstand. You have power. You already have more than you think. If you fail to control it within you unsupervised, it can manifest in a very harmful way, which can truly cause you to flee and miss opportunities, misinterpret, and fail to make sense of things going around you. It's all you.

I was wondering if that lack of certainty could make a bad idea out of diety work.

No. It is both natural and common. With practice, proper, frequent grounding and devotion to this matter you'll be eventually able to wash away the foam of uncertainity step by step. It may return ever once and a while; it happens to everyone even after long years of practice, but this path requires consciousness, and constant work and responsibility.

I grew up with Infernals around me, and I can safely say, humans are far more dangerous than any of the Infernals, but there's an 'if' to this.
If you respect them, if your intent is clear and honest, if you have no ill will or thought towards them, then you will be fine.
