A Walk With Hekate

A Walk with Hekate connects with Hekate as Goddess of the Crossroads and Psychopomp, Guide to those who have died.

In modern paganism, a lot of people see Hekate as the Crone face of the Triple Goddess, the wise woman. Others see her as the hidden fourth face, the Dark Mother. To the Greeks she was a young woman, or the triple Goddess all on her own (Hekate Trivia). Just because She is ancient doesn’t mean She is old!

I believe Hekate was a Goddess of Place, local to the area that became Greece, long before the Olympian mythology. Not unlike Brigid to the Irish, she was popular enough among the people that the incoming (invading?) religion could not push her out. So they included her as one of the Titans, one who came before the Olympians.
