Who is Hecate?

Hecate is known in the Greek Pantheon (Titan who still remain after the Olympians took other) as the goddess of the crossroads and the dark moon.

Which is the Moon's true face. Because it is a dark planet reflecting the light of the sun. Her time is the twilight and the 3 days around New Moon.

Her origin was in Thrace. Which is now parts of Turkey, Greece and the Black Sea. From where her cult developed into Greece, Roman Empire and even Egypt.

She is the protectress of the world of the spirits and the realm. Patron and guide of healers, witches, shamans and midwifes.

As the triple Goddess herself she sees the past, present and the future. Portrayed with her 3 bodies and 3 pair of hands holding torches (lighting the way to the underworld)

She was the only goddess who were given the power of the land, wind and sea.

As a mediator and archetypal Moon Goddess she travels between dark and light. Between the spirit world and the living. She is the keeper of the keys to the underworld.

It is said that she is living in cave, which is the transit to the underworld.

Hecate is the keeper of the forces under the earth and connected with the feminine independence from the masculine. Even if Hades is the god and ruler of the underworld, Hecate is also playing a powerful role.
