Goddess Hecate Statue
Hecate is an ancient goddess with complex origins, likely adopted into Greek religion from the Carians of Asia Minor. She is associated with magic, witchcraft, the night, the crossroads, and the moon. In Greek mythology, Hecate played a significant role in the story of Persephone's abduction, assisting Demeter in her search for her daughter. Hecate is often depicted holding torches, keys, or snakes and is frequently accompanied by dogs. She is known for her triple form, sometimes portrayed with three bodies or heads, allowing her to look at crossroads in all directions. This triple aspect also associates her with maiden, mother, and crone concepts.
As a liminal deity, Hecate had the power to move between the world of the living and the underworld. She was worshipped as a protector of households and entranceways and was celebrated in ancient Greece during new moon festivals. Over time, her reputation evolved, and by the Roman era, some portrayed her as a more sinister figure. Hecate's sacred animals included dogs, polecats, and creatures of the night
