Hecate – Greek Goddess of Magic, Crossroads, and the Moon

CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE:

• Hecate is the ancient Greek goddess of witchcraft, the moon, necromancy, and liminal spaces. She is a guardian of thresholds—physical, spiritual, and symbolic—and a guide for those walking between worlds.

• Known for her triple form (maiden, mother, crone) and often depicted holding torches, keys, and hounds, Hecate watches over the crossroads of fate, transitions, and deep transformation.

• Highly revered in ancient mystery cults and modern witchcraft, she embodies feminine wisdom, autonomy, and the sacred power of the unseen.
