Hecate: Goddess of Night


This was done on a whim. I love Hecate and all of the spooky associations she has. Hecate is Goddess of crossroads, the night, magic, fields, and ghosts. She seems perfectly suited to Halloween and all of its' traditional images. Hecate is a triple goddess and her symbols include many plants, oaks, yew and others among them. Dogs and snakes are her's as well. She is most often depicted as a triple goddess and holding two torches.
