I think for me Hekate basically said you know the truth and if your dumb enough to ignore it and me then i'm going to remind you in a manner that will help you recall it.  As time marches forward I find she is less tolerent of things I am supposed to know and either do not or seems to her as if I am ignoring.

Sure, that makes sense. I think many deities get cranky with us when they think we should know better. 
For me, it was just a little nagging thing in the back of my mind that I decided to look up. It sounds like you have been working with Hekate for a long time. I've only just begun to look into Her myths and history. I initially started looking for information on the roman goddess, Trivia. Most of of what I found pointed back to Hekate.

Which, now has me re-thinking some things, but that's another topic...

For me I got the direct impresson from her that if I put one of those on my body or recognized it she would show me what pain really was.  Now if I wanted to use the combination of Keys, Knife, Y and dice that would be fine.  In fact as soon as I get it just right I shall have it done.

I used that wheel symbol when I made my second portrait (among many) of Her and i didn't get the any particular wrong inkling. Of course, the symbol was actually a very small detail of the picture and this was when i was very in the beginning of my relationship with Hekate. I must I never truly understood/felt any connection to it neither.

The image is here if you want to look at it: http://violaserpeverde.deviantart.com/gallery/25674747#/d1qwipw

Now, the Keys, instead... i have silver miniature Keys on my altar, right beside Her portrait as TorchBearer and a small dog statue and a miniature snake i made myself. This seems to make my image of Her complete.

Don't get me started on the Crone thing. Something inside my mind rejects it even before seriously consider it. I feel a certain disdain toward the image in itself, whether it comes from me or Her.

On the general issue, i'm rarely satisfied with other people pictures/statuaries of deities i feel close to. I tend to prefer photoshoping gods myself until i am at complete ease with the result.
