I've been dry for months, and I suspect some of you have too. This is an honest look at a long quiet season in my deity work with Hekate (Hecate): why I came back to her wanting something, what happened when I tried to audit a month of results, and why a practice built to be unfalsifiable can't tell a gentle absence from a dead one. Along the way: ancient Greek religion's indifference to belief, the healing sanctuaries that carved their cures in stone and never their misses, the monthly supper rite and the one rule I've never broken, and where faith ends and stubbornness begins. (I've been a practicing witch for years; Hekate has been my patron for about a year.)

If you're in a spiritual dry spell right now: it doesn't mean you did something wrong. Keep the practice if you can, and let it go if you can't. Neither of those is a verdict. And come tell me, especially if you presumed you were the only one sitting in a quiet stretch.
