Goddess Hecate

 




Hecate is a Greek witch deity.

Hecate is the Crone aspect of the Triple Goddess, and along with Persephone and Demeter, she forms the triad; yet, she also seems to have three faces.

She is known as the "Queen of Ghosts" because she holds control over heaven, earth, and the underworld.

She protects spirits from injury and mischief in her role as the spiritworld's protector.

Hecate is most typically connected with the crossroads, a site of spiritual insight and dark intuitive witchcraft.

She was once a goddess of the woods and childbirth.

Hecate, the supreme sorceress and diviner, teaches her followers the Witch's way and leads the seeker to the unconscious mind's depths.

Hekit (also Heqet, Hepat) is the Egyptian goddess of midwives.

Hekit is shown as either a frog on a lotus or a lady with a frog's head.

She is the goddess of life and fertility, as well as the goddess of the latter stages of birth, inhaling life into the body of the newborn.

Her amulet is worn by women in childbirth to protect them from agony and death, and she is patroness of midwives and nurses.
