Description
Ring Hecate
Hecate is a goddess in ancient Greek religion and mythology, most often shown holding a pair of torches or a key and in later periods depicted in triple form. She is variously associated with crossroads, entrance-ways, night, light, magic, witchcraft, knowledge of herbs and poisonous plants, ghosts, necromancy, and sorcery. Her earliest appearance in literature was in Hesiod's Theogony in the last third part of the 8th century BCE as a goddess of great honor with domains in sky, earth, and sea. Her place of origin is debated by scholars, but she had popular followings amongst the witches of Thessaly and an important sanctuary among the Carians of Asia Minor in Lagina.
Συσχετιζόταν ποικιλοτρόπως με τα σταυροδρόμια, τις εισόδους, το φως, τη μαγεία, τη γνώση των φαρμακευτικών και δηλητηριωδών βοτάνων, τα φαντάσματα και τη νεκρομαντεία.
