Hekate Greeting Card

Hekate is a powerful triple Goddess of the moon, earth, and underworld. Perhaps originally a moon Goddess, Her name means "Far-Darter". She protects crossroads, especially those where three roads meet, and is shown in triple form standing back to back to back, sighting down each road. She also protects travelers, especially solitary ones in lonely places. As Goddess of the Underworld Hekate was said to attend Queen Persephone and associate with spirits, ghosts and hounds. She is also said to have great powers of magic and witchcraft. She is known to haunt tombs and places where crimes have happened, followed by Her ghostly train and spectral hounds. Though humans can not see Her, earthly dogs always can. Sacrifices were made to Her on the last day of the month in the Greek lunar calendar, at the dark of the moon.
