Hecate
Originally a Greek goddess of uncertain parentage.
She appears to have been one of the Titans who ruled the heaven, earth and sea; and could bestow gifts on mortals at pleasure. Later she was confounded with other goddesses until she became at length a mystic goddess having all the magic powers of nature at command. Magicians and witches besought her aid, and sacrifices were offered to her where three ways met of dogs, honey and female black lambs. Festivals were celebrated to her annually at Ægina. In appearance she was frightful, and serpents hung hissing around her shoulders.
