Self Igniting incense, just light her on fire! No need of coals!. have always been a devotee of Hecate. She was the first goddess — the first love I found outside of the religion I was raised in as Catholic and Jehovah’s Witness. Hecate released me. She freed me. She gave me strength. For that, I owe her a great deal.
One of my ultimate goals, and one of my offerings of devotion to her, is to create nine blends for Hecate — similar in spirit to how Santa Muerte is honored through different colors and aspects. Hecate would have something similar through these blends.
Of course, we all know that Hecate carries hundreds of epithets, avatars, paths, and faces. I would love to make a blend for every one of them, but the truth is that much of that information has been lost or is simply no longer accessible. The only way to access some of those aspects would be through direct channeling — and people don’t always trust a channeled experience. I plan on exploring that with the water aspect of Hecate… but that is work for another time. This blend is Black Saffron.
Black Saffron was created to occupy a more traditional devotional space for the Hecate devotee. By traditional, I mean Orphic. In the Orphic Hymn to Hecate, she is described as saffron-cloaked, and that image became the heart of this blend.
This formula carries a small trace of elements from my Nocticula blend, but only in the lightest way — just a touch, just a taste. The true heart of this work is saffron, offered in honor of her sacred herb.
Two forms were created from this devotion: incense and oil.
My hope is that this tool brings every devotee closer to our Queen. I hope it brings her pleasure, and that it responds well for those who walk with Hecate and practice in her name. I'd also love to hear from you and your experience.
