The Annual Festival of the Goddess Hecate February 16
Hecate is far more versatile than one might ever imagine.
Then again, Hecate may also be one of the most misinterpreted goddesses.
The toad or frog is the symbol of Hecate – both symbols of conception and procreation. At first glance, this sounds very much like a Goddess of Femininity.
From the grand family tree of the gods, she is depicted as the daughter of the Titan Perses and the Titanide Asteria, but Hecate is being childless herself.
Nevertheless, she is also considered a goddess of Protection and Boundaries.
Hecate is also considered the Goddess of the Moon and of Witchcraft.
And she’s also Goddess of the Underworld.
As Worshipped …
Even in ancient times, Hecate was revered and feared at the same time.
As the Goddess of Witches and Magicians and a Master of Magic, she could access the underworld and contact spirits and the dead.
For example, many witches worshipped Hecate as the ruler of magical arts and supernatural powers, the powerful mother of magic.
…as being feared!
Granting any Wish…
In his works on Greek mythology, Hesiod (* before 700 BC) describes Hecate as a
helpful Goddess,
who is the only deity besides Zeus,
who can fulfill every wish of mankind.
…and taking Blessings away
Hecate shares her supernatural powers with those who pay her due reverence.
But just as the Goddess can give blessings, she can also take them away, if she judges it to be right!
“Goddess of the 3 Directions”
In her capacity as “Hecate of the Three Directions”, she is said to be able to see in three directions at once.
Depending on the interpretation this refers to
“Past, Present and Future”
or
“Heaven, Earth and Underworld”.
Therefore, she is often asked for support when someone is at a “turning point in life. Those who have to decide how to proceed would do well.
