Hecate
Hecate is the Greek goddess of the crossroads.
She is most often depicted as having three heads; one of a dog, one of a snake
and one of a horse. She is usually seen with two ghost hounds that were said to
serve her. Hecate is most often mispercepted as the goddess of witchcraft or
evil, but she did some very good things in her time. One such deed was when she
rescued Persephone,
(Demeter's daughter, the
queen of the Underworld and the maiden of spring), from the Underworld. Hecate
is said to haunt a three-way crossroad, each of her heads facing in a certain
direction. She is said to appear when the ebony moon shines.
