    Hecate's parents are both very interesting deities as well. Her father was Perses, the Titan of Destruction, who is also called the wisest of all men and a loving husband. Go figure. Her mother was Asteria, the Titaness of the Stars, who turned herself into the island of Delos to stop Zeus from assaulting her and defied Hera by letting her sister, Leto, give birth on her, even calling her out for inflicting that kind of pain on another woman.

    Makes you think. Both Hecate, and I just saw someone else's comment referencing Saga, a very important Aesir goddess we know very little about, reminds me of a concept that I've seen elsewhere. In Overly Sarcastic Productions' video on Quetzalcoatl, they explain that very important deities can sometimes show up very scarcely in the mythological record because they were **so** important, **so** culturally pervasive that it was seen as unnecessary to write a lot of their stories down, since it may have been considered common knowledge to that society. Not that it's a guarantee that Hecate and Saga also fit that bill, I'm definitely not an expert in mythology, but it really makes you wonder just how much contextual information has been lost to time and which other deities we might really be missing out on.

    Your gnosis is probably right. So many historical records were destroyed by Abrahamists that in reality we know next to nothing about many of our old Gods and Goddesses, so building a modern mythology on the basis of personal gnosis becomes even more important in understanding them and filling in the grey areas. Remember all of the ancient texts were essentially just people writing down their own gnosis.

    Hecate reminds me slightly of a Tagalog god I know named Lakapati, who was hailed as a hermaphrodite god/goddess of compassion and fertility who was prayed to regularly for good fortune, prosperity, and even the protection of families, but would later be branded demonic by Catholic authorities. I'm not saying that's what happened here, but it's possible the difference of a few hundred years was enough to repaint her as something terrifying to a new order that might've favoured different gods for political reasons and not the cool goddess who was relevant to most aspects of daily life but was also kinda spooky.

    In case anyone was wondering about her Ferret and Dog, they were actually important characters in the mythology before being turned into animals. The Ferret was a woman named Galinthias who was turned into a Ferret by Hera. The reason for this punishment is actually kind of cartoonish, but basically Hera told Ilithyia (E-lee-thee-uh) the goddess(es) of childbirth to prevent Herakles from being born. Galinthias tricks Ilithyia by telling her that the baby had already been born by the will of Zeus and everyone just straight up stopped worshipping her because of it. It's not really set in stone who turned Galinthias into the weasel but most versions agree on Hera but others say it was Ilithyia or even the Moirai depending on the telling. Without Galinthias, Herakles would not have been born and Alcmene (Herakles' mother) would have died in childbirth. The Dog was the Trojan Queen named Hecuba. Hecuba isn't really the most important character but just the fact that she's the Queen of Troy, the mother to Hector and Paris, and wife of Priam, the last king of Troy gives her enough importance to be even somewhat relevant. It is said that Hecuba was about to throw herself into the sea as Troy was burning but that Hekate took pity on her, turning her into a dog and one of her familiars.

    Having a K, pronounced with a hard "k" sound is closer to the original Greek pronunciation. The latinised forms of Greek names replace the Ks with Cs, and the pronunciation sometimes (but not always) changes to a soft "s" sound, like with Cerberus (instead of the more accurate, "Kerberos"). I kind of hate being nitpicky about spelling and pronunciation. So I just go with whatever pronunciation is most popular among English speakers, which are usually the latinised versions. But there are exceptions, like with Kratos, who's latinised form is "Cratus", but the other version is more popular.

    Hecate was a very important and powerful Goddess of the Hellenic religion! First, her name in Hellenic is Εκάτη and it’s pronounced Ekáti. In English it became Hecate which many people mispronounce… Now, we call Hecate a Goddess but in reality she was a Titanid, a female Titan. In the Hellenic religion we called Gods only the third generation of divine deities living at Olympus! At the beginning nothing existed. Only Nyx (Night) Chaos (chaos…) and Erebus (darkness) These deities existed before the cosmos came into existence. At some point they gave birth to the second generation of divine deities called *Primordial deities* Gaia (Earth) Uranus (Sky) Iméra (Day) Pontus (Sea)… etc These deities gave birth to the third generation called *Titans* Cronus, Rèa, Oceanus, Phoebe, Hyperion, Iapetus, Mnemosyne, Atlas, Hecate, Prometheus, Helios, Selene… etc Cronus and Rèa’s children were the fourth and final generations of deities called Olympian Gods. In Titanomachy some Titans helped the Olympians and when Zeus became the King of the Gods and the mortals, he allowed them to keep living in the world without being punished like the others! Hecate was a mysterious and powerful Titanid! No one knew exactly her powers but they were afraid of her and they didn’t want to tease her! When Zeus became the father of the Gods, the three brothers Zeus, Poseidon and Hades decided who is going to rule over what kingdom. Zeus became the king of the Skies Poseidon became the king of the Seas Hades became the king of the Underworld Hecate had authority over Sky, Sea and the Underworld before the birth of the Olympian Gods! Zeus didn’t want to fight and provoke Hecate afraid of the powers! They allowed her to have authority on both Skies and the Earth, the Seas and the Underworld! Hecate was known for being the Goddess of magic but not only that! She was the Goddess of the necromancy, magic, healing, herbs and healing through herbs and botanical therapies. She was also the Goddess of the Crossroads meaning that she was protector of the travellers. She was worshiped (especially in Thrace) as the grantor of good fortune! They believed that if you prayed to her, one could win wars with her help. Hecate didn’t lived at Olympus with the rest of the Gods. She was roaming the forests of Rhodope at the birthplace Thrace!🇬🇷 Hecate was believed to be born in Thrace and Thracians respected her massively!

    A triple crossroads would be the point where twelve roads meet. I would assume the ancient Greeks had in general more three way junctions, so that is why Hecate became three faced (and headed and bodied).

    In some statues for Hecate, she is depicted with 3 heads that hold a torch, snake and a dagger. The 3-headed deities/2-headed deities are sometimes popular like the Roman god Janus (doors, gates and transitions, with one head for the past and the other for the future), the Slavic god Triglav (each head symbolizes the Sky, Earth and the Underworld) the Hinduist god Brahma (creator of Hinduism), the Celtic god Lugh (kingship), and a 3-headed Jesus that was banned by the Catholic Church (each head represents the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit).

    "And when he had called on her he drew back; and she heard him, the dread goddess, from the uttermost depths and came to the sacrifice of Aeson's son; and round her horrible serpents twined themselves among the oak boughs; and there was a gleam of countless torches; and sharply howled the hounds of hell. All meadows trembled at her step; and the nymphs that haunt the marsh and the river shrieked, all who dance round that mead of the Amarantian Phasis."

    My introduction to Hecate as a part of mythology was when we performed “The Bard’s Play” in middle school… It’s been over ten years since I performed any lines from that on a stage. I’m not THAT superstitious, but I stopped the video during the spooky reading part, which I listened to but didn’t take in a single word bc I was stuck in my memories 😖

    In English class, I learnt about Hecate from the play MacBeth and how we never read that part of play as our teacher stated that it's up in the air if Shakespeare actually wrote her part in the story or if it was added later on by an unknown writer. So yea, there's no wonder there's not much info on her, but I hope we can find some more, some day.

    She is maybe a god from the civilization befor ancient Greece (Mycenaen) since she has a big role with persephone, which is also feared by some and worshiped by others and since I believe reds (osp) head canon, that persephone is Despoinai (aka. the mistress ) and since Hecate is sometimes seen as a tectonic deity and Mycenaen mythology favored them, it could be that her relevance started their, or maybe she's an offshoot of Despoinai together with Persephone, who knows? In the end a lot got lost in the age between Mycenaen and Greece and we lack a whole lot of context clues. Maybe she is just a local goddess but because of some conflict she got vilified like Kreta with their bull religion and the Minotaur.

    I may not be 100% correct in this but I know Hecate is worshiped in Peganism and a lot of old religions, witchcraft and alike. Maybe the time lapse is just from differences in how her role is perceived/ what she did to help those specific gods from Greek or other mythologies.
