I asked Hera for help with something very important, and she did it. In exchange I promised I would burn something for her on the mountain where I worked (the meadow at the camp I work at is very beautiful). The spell she helped me with made it easier to get through work at first, but I started regretting it. I'd still intended to make good on my promise and dedicate my next full moon ritual to Hera. But, due to a recent fire ban, I couldn't burn anything without risking a wildfire. Moreover, I'd lost my lighter. Maybe that should have been my hint...
So, I started a small ritual (I had very limited supplies, pagansim is quite frowned upon where I live/work). Moon was high and full, meadow was gorgeous and drenched in moonlight silver. I was halfway through the ritual when a deer jumped out of the woods and was acting rather... well, irritated by my presence. I wasn't in the mood to be trampled by a deer for a ritual, so I scattered the circle and got out before I could finish it.
The deer showed up two minutes before midnight. Clouds suddenly covered the moon. It's been storming all day, and I saw another deer before I left work for the weekend (which followed me part of the way through camp).
TL;DR: I tried to do a ritual outside for Hera, and several very weird things happened at once and had to stop. So, I'm pretty sure that Hera's mad at me.
How do I appease her?
