I am a follower of Hecate, also known as Hecate Kleidoukhos – Keeper of the Keys
or Key bearer. The key she holds is the
key to the underworld. Images show
Hecate holding a key, a rope and a dagger as well as three torches. In her trifold form Hecate is often seen at a
cross roads, where her offerings are left.
For many years I’ve always had an attraction to keys. Before
my dedication I collected keys. Today I
have two altars. My ancestor altar and
Altar to Hecate.
On my ancestor altar you can see my skull, the hand
embroidered cloth belonging to my great grandmother and a lovely key.

After my dedication I took my red cord and placed it in a
small velvet satchel and tied a small key to the bag. It lives just above my altar.

On my altar next to my salts tin and my wooden pentacle I
have a small key to represent Hecate.

I thought I had read your post but I had not. So, did so now. My Grandma use to have a skeleton key for her front door and I still have it - you gave me a great idea......I will put it on my ancestor altar representing her
