    Snippets of Life

    We ought not to treat living creatures like shoes or household belongings, which when worn with use we throw away.

    Hekate: Threeformed Images
    Hekate: Threeformed Images
    Posted by: Makarios on Friday, January 15, 2010 - 12:00 PM
    Gods, Goddesses & Deities By Sorita d’Este

    When we examine the myths and legends of the many cultures and religions of the ancient Mediterranean, the Goddess Hekate stands out from the rest. There is simply no other Goddess like her, with evidence stretching back into time, but also crossing the boundaries of tradition, religion and pantheon in rather remarkable ways. Her mysteries are open to all, and her magic to those who have the wisdom to see and who are able to put fear aside in order to cross the boundaries and learn from her.

    Like many other people I first encountered Hekate in literature, poetry and art, from where I learned about the image of her as a scary mistress of Witchcraft, who is invoked on moonless nights to bring forth her infernal powers. Many years later when I discovered her again, it was very much this image of Hekate which inspired those around me, who were eager to speak of her as a scary old Crone Goddess, as part of the modern “Maiden Mother Crone” construct, who whilst being wise, should be feared and who would bring doom and gloom upon those who made any mistakes in the evocations which were taking place.
