My name is Hecate i'm not the evil hag that legends suggest, in fact i started out as Heket, the Egyptian Goddess of Childbirth. I've never fitted in with a crowd any crowd, I'm very much my own goddess. In Greece, I was a Moon Goddess, one of the original trinity who were connected with the moon's three phases and ruled heaven, earth and the underworld. I was especially worshipped at places where three roads met and was known as Hecate Trivia, Hecate of the Three ways. Some scholars say that I was not originally Greek, I worship having traveled south (where I had been worshiped as Isis), or from My original Thracian (Indo-European) homeland. In any case, the antiquity of My worship was recognized by those pre-Olympian divinities whom Zeus and his cohort had ousted. The newcomers also bowed to me antiquity by granting to me alone a power shared with Zeus that of granting or withholding from humanity anything she wished. I of the Amazons was a Moon and underworld deity. My chariot was often pulled by dragons. I was the oldest Greek form of the triform Goddess, who ruled heaven, the underworld and the Earth. After the matriarch fell, the Greeks worshiped me only as Queen of the Underworld and ruler of three-way crossroads. In Greek Mythology, when the Olympian Gods claimed fame, Zeus did not dare try to take any of my powers from me, as he knew my powers were just as great as his if not greater. Later, studies show me with three heads and six arms, or merely as a pillar called a Hecterion. I was shown holding three torches, a key, a rope, and a dagger. With the key, I unlock the deep mysteries, the rope is a symbolical umbilical cord, the dagger, which has become the athame of Witchcraft, cuts through illusion to true power. But I was also known as the most lovely one, a name for the Moon. It was said that I wore a shimmering headdress and was second to none in my powers. A statute from the 8th century BCE shows me with wings and holding a snake.
