Goddess of Witchcraft
Hecate
Hecate is known for representing the head goddess in The Triple Goddess. But did you know that she is connected to the Crone out of the three. Lets dive into why.
Hecate is a strong older woman that spent her time gathering knowledge, not only of our realm but the underworld too.
One of the dark moon goddesses, she is connected strongly to the New Moon, Full Moon & Half Moon phases.
Even though she is connected to the underworld, Hecate is not just of dark or light.
There are many stories on Hecate and her journey but we are going to talk about a few that really stood out to me.
Hecate, one of the Greek Goddesses was believed to frequent Turkey, Greece, Bulgaria (Thrace- ancient geographical area) and also had a close relationship with Amazonians as well.
Goddess of the Underworld was bestowed upon her when she went to the 'land of the dead' with another dark goddess Persephone. She was given a key that would give her the ability to open the gates between the two realms.
Not just the goddess of witchcraft, she would also guide spirits at the crossroad and help them transition over.
She is known as the protector of witches, she helps us connect into our dark feminine side, helps us work on past life trauma and guides us safely through our journey.
Hecate's Symbols:
- She holds a torch for guidance
-A key, which symbolises her key to the underworld
