I have recently found that Hecate is my patron and I would love to know more about her.  Could someone give me some direction.  I read about her, but no one knows her like her children do.  Any thoughts?

I have also recently found that Hecate is my patron. The links everyone provided were really helpful and interesting! Thanks for the info :)
Hecate- Considered by some to be Thracian Moon goddess, by others an ancient Pre-Greek goddess of midwives, birth, fertility, magic ceremonies, and the underworld. She is very commonly worshipped at places where three roads crossed. she walks when the moon is dark, accompanied by a pack of hounds. She is honored by leaving offerings at the crossroads. Together with Persephone (maiden) and Demeter (Mother) they form the triple goddess triad. She reminds us to let go of the idea of wrong and right choices and except that it is merely a choice.
Thank you Terah! I always read the replies on this because I am soaking up every bit of info on her that I can get. BB *Mara
Read every thing you can on Greek Mythology / her symbol is the shining light, the upperworld is not her home she dwelled with Hades along side that of Persephone , she is depicted as many symbols through out myth the boar, the horse, the dog and sometimes with three heads. she is also associated with the cross roads where at one point we must all make decisions [ three choices ]. her festival is in Greece [ Aug. 15 ] and in a real since she is a dark mother, she has the power to send demons and torment, and with this power can drive one out of their mind [ madness ], she also holds the power of vision and is able to bring recall to the past. hope this helps BB

Hecate-
Hecate is the Goddess of the Sky, Earth & Underworld.

Hecate is a Crone Goddess, but she is all so a triple Goddess and can be in any form, Maiden, Mother,Crone.

Hecate is a Goddess that has a lot of respect from other Gods & Goddess. She help Demeter find Persephone when she was captured by Hades of the Underworld.

Hecate is my Patron Goddess since 2005. Hecate came to me in dreams, symbols and just conversations with non Pagans at times. She is a very powerful Goddess it takes time to learn her ways. Hecate is different with everyone. Meditation is very wise way to get to know her.

Going to your scared space in meditation in the Astro World and opening that space and share with her she will come to join. Hecate is a Goddess of the Witches, very protecting but at the same time she is very stern with discipline.

When invoking Hecate and you are just beginning I do advise that you have someone with you. Hecate is very strong when being invoked. I had to learn the hard way. She will get to know you and you will get to know her.

Hecate colors are; Black & Silver
Owl is her messenger bird
Dogs are very scared to her and she will protect them
Menstrual Blood is scared to Hecate
Dark Moon is scared to Hecate
Torches, Keys are her symbol and many others

This is just off the top of my head but www.hecatescauldron.org is a wonderful site. Lady Hecate of that site really put in a lot of work and great information. I do ask if you use any of her Rituals that you ask her permission and she has a women yahoo group also.

I hope I help some. Hecate is a wonderful, loving, compassionate Goddess. She is a great protector of her witches. Enjoy her company she will enjoy yours.

Bless be
Lady Ski

Something I'm curious about from reading the posts is twice someone has said that Hecate asks different things of different people. I was wondering if anyone could expand on this. I only recently discovered Hecate is my patron as well so I'm very curious.
many blessings to all,
Salem
