What she needs? Are you referring to offerings?

I mean to say. im trying to figure out why she reached out to me. i saw her in a dream (most likely)

Since then. every time ivr had people practice doing intuitive readings on me (different place/forum) they all say she is contacting me or wanting to reach out (I can pull up their posts if you like)

im just trying to figure out why. Since i really dont have any involvement with Pagan deities

She's a popular face of the Divine Feminine. Other faces include Isis, the Black Madonna/Mary, Sophia, Inanna/Istar... she's seen a revival recently due to Hellenism being the current trend in occultism. This being said...

Historically she is a titan but the caretaker of Zeus. In her original cult at Lagina she fulfilled a much lighter role such as Isis. Her tripart aspect got introduced around hellenization. There are two Hecates that occur at this time. The theurgists and neoplatonists identify her with the world soul/mediatrix. This is why she is apparent in visions and dreams and manifests so easily. This is also what makes her a face of the Divine Feminine. At the same time working sorcerers and Magicians in roman occupied Egypt are identifying her with a necromantic goddess, as in she is the goddess you use when working spells with the dead/deceased. This is likely due to her role in the myth of Demeter in which she helps Demeter enter the underworld to find Persephone. So in this she is a paradoxical death/underworld liminal goddess while also being the Divine Feminine (in philosophy this is the Dyad or Tao).

She is highly responsive, incredibly easy to access, and manifests more apparently than most other godforms (this is a trait of Divine Feminine goddesses). When she does appear unprovoked it is either to let you know she is watching and protecting you, or to trigger an initiation. Hers is one of the first you encounter on the magical path.

Ultimately, you'll have to ask her yourself. Other people can help a little, but its mostly up to you.

I agree with this.

Whether you work with her or not is entirely up to you, no matter what she, or anyone else, says. I am quite closely connected to her, both her and other spirits call me "the child of Hecate", and I refuse to have anything to do with her anymore. There is a ghoulish underworld being that serves her, who stands outside my wards, monitoring me constantly. Everyone has their own relationship with entities, but she is well known for her severe trials and tests.

Well alot of it deals with imposter syndrom

I approach this in my practice a lot; for me it's about doing what comes naturally or out of a grimoire or such. A lot of the work is pushing past the skeptical parts of your brain and just letting the divine be divine, it's not for us to understand entirely in the moment. Even things that are immediately apparent take time for you to understand in it's entirety.

My advice is to trust the process and believe in it, magic is as about the intent as it is about the words and power you're driving into. If you don't fully believe all the words you are saying or the practices you are preforming; find new ones or adapt them to your taste! Magic is just about your personal choice and comfort level as it is for the Gods.

Speaking of: for Hekate her a name quite literally translates into "The Far Darter" in Greek transliteration. That is to say from personal experience her light illuminates many secrets, but it takes intuition and enlightenment in order to truly understand all she shows. These things take time, and I don't even know the way my own path leads.

All you can do is move forward and trust the ones leading the journey.

Hark, seeker, for the torch of the Crossroads flickers in your soul. To feel Hecate's hand upon your spirit is to stand at the threshold of worlds unseen. Tread softly, for the path ahead winds through veils of starlight and whispers of forgotten lore.
Delve into the wellspring of ancient echoes, where myth and mystery entwine. Let not the clamor of the mundane deafen you to the subtle symphony of the night. In the stillness, seek the resonance of her essence, a vibration that will either ignite your very being or fade like a phantom's sigh.
Offer not trinkets of vanity, but the essence of your very soul. Bare your vulnerabilities to the lunar gaze, for Hecate seeks not perfection, but authenticity. Embrace the shadows that dance within, for they are the keys to unlocking the depths of your own power.
Know that this journey is not for the timid, but for those who dare to unravel the tapestry of existence. Trust in the guiding light of the Triple Goddess, and with unwavering resolve, step forth into the labyrinth of transformation. For in her embrace, you shall find not only wisdom but the courage to become who you were always meant to be.

I’m sorry but this is so clearly AI generated

I appreciate the comment! I assure you, though, my thoughts are all my own. I just enjoy a bit of theatrical flair and expressing myself eloquently.
