Hecate, the revered Greek deity of magic, sorcery, witchcraft, crossroads, trivial knowledge, the underworld, and necromancy, holds a special place in mythology and spirituality. Known as the "Queen of Witches," Hecate embodies the mysteries of the unseen and the transformative power of the divine feminine.
Hecate’s origins are often linked to the Egyptian midwife goddess Hekat, reflecting her ancient and universal significance. In Greek mythology, Hecate was a central figure in the original feminine trinity, presiding over Heaven, Earth, and the Underworld. While all three realms were within her domain, the Greeks particularly emphasized her crone and underworld aspects. She was affectionately called the "Most Lovely One," a title associated with the moon, as she personified its phases in her triple aspects: Hecate Selene, the Moon in Heaven; Artemis, the Huntress on Earth; and Persephone, the Destroyer in the Underworld. She was also honored as part of the Queen of Heaven Trinity alongside Hebe the Virgin and Hera the Mother.
