I also recommend checking out the YouTube channel for Sorita D'Este. She has a great deal of information related to Hecate.
My final suggestion is to listen to the Goddess. She may come to you as a lion or as a dog. No one can tell you how you should or should not relate to a deity. This is your journey. It will be very different from another's.
