Facing doubts
As always when it comes to the Goddess in my life, I face doubts just as I face those doubts with the non-related women in my life. ”I don’t hear from xyz, is she mad? I don’t think she likes me. She only puts up with because of xyz. ” Etc. Lately I’ve been wondering if maybe I need to back gracefully away from the feminine divinities and seek Zeus out more fully/indepth/exclusively. Dark Moon and Full Moon is when I try to honor this Goddess in my life but I have been inconsistent as of late due to said issues. So I really felt like doing something on this night of the dark moon was important. I’m glad I did. I feel a tad bit better.
Meditation: I found myself at my Hekate pillar that stands at a 3 way fenced/benched crossroads on a garden hillside that over looks the sea. This pillar is not your typical pillar. It shows the same female with three different emotions: laughing, crying and angry. Suddenly, it is as if one of the bodies has come to life. ”Tag you’re it” and off she runs laughing. I give chase completely loosing her in some woods. As I pause to catch my breath enough to hear movement to track by she comes up from behind me wrapping her arms around my upper half. ”Silly child,” she laughs turning me around kissing me on the forehead. ”None of your questions matter. Only that you…” and off she runs, egging me to chase her again. As I start after her again, I hear her murmur, “never mind our time here is up”. I then see a flash of a male form and hear her squeal in laughter followed by a male tone. End.
So many people see Hekate as a dark, serious, gloomy divinity. For me, more often than not, she is full of light, joy and laughter. It is no wonder I have a hard time connecting with the typical depiction of her…or why I question who she really is…yet she says it doesn’t matter to just follow the best I can. I’m trying my Lady, I’m trying.

It sounds as though concentrating on Zeus with intermittent work with Hekate is the way forward for you then.
Sorry you keep getting caught in my spam filter. Not sure exactly what my steps are moving forward but I know not to give up.
It sounds as though you need to spend most of your time with Zeus and intermittent time with Hekate, and apparently she is not bothered by that!
Actually I think Zeus’ reading is about confronting my Lady and working through my issues.
Ah I was looking more at the meditation dream than the cards.
Ya know, sometimes spending more time with the Gods helps us women with our relation with the Goddesses we know. Gives us more perspective on things…
The gods do not intimidate me nearly as much as the goddesses…it that “get along with males better than females” thing
