Hecate is the Greek goddess of magic, the night, and the crossroads — the one who walks between the realms of the living and the dead. She is a guide for those who wander in darkness, carrying torches to light the way.
💀 
Guardian Between Worlds
Hecate is often depicted holding two torches and standing at a crossroads, where every path leads to a different destiny. She is the companion of Persephone in the underworld and a protector of those who practice witchcraft.
She was honored in both the Olympian and Chthonic realms — a rare privilege among the gods. This made her a bridge between worlds, with the ability to grant favor or bring misfortune.
🌌 Hecate and the Moon
Associated with the new moon and liminal spaces, Hecate governs beginnings, endings, and the hidden paths in between. She is invoked in rituals for protection, divination, and transformation, often appearing at night with her hounds at her side.
