This may look very X-Men (Lady Deathstrike or Storm) but is meant as an homage to the Greek goddess of sorcery and witchcraft, Hecate. :)

The appearance of the priestess signifies her mortal return where she becomes invisible but her mysterious forces are felt. Hecate signifies sexuality and fecundity associated with the feminine principle. Click Here Wax, ink and graphite

This image has been up before but due to request i have now increased its size. Hecate is most commonly known as the goddess of witchcraft, but she also has many other symbols and meaning and her history dates back to Turkey before being addopted by the Greeks. Hecate is always seen carrying a lamp or touch as she is linked to seeing the dead into Haydes, and its this link with the lost that links her with cross-roads. She is also linked with all things that come out at night but only the wolf is portrayed with her at all times, but owls, wild boar, bats, snakes, pumpkins and black dogs can also be linked to her.

This painting has been very popular. I have added all the elements, keys, the wolf, bear and lion. And owl fly overhead bringing a message. And snakes twist across the mantel. On one side is Heaven the other Hell. Hecate holds the keys to both and chooses where the dead will go. And to some she grants them to return to life on earth.

Dark of the moon, blazing torch in hand / the goddess Hecate walks the land Three roads crossed with her sacred dogs / loyal to magic shared and secrets of fog Guarding households, this goddess of death / protects all newly born upon their first breath Healing is her gift for change to take place / smoothing passage, pain leaving no trace Maiden, Mother and Crone wise beyond years / keeper of traditions lost amongst too many fears On this night, the power is true to stand up / femininity asserted to fill one’s own life cup. tkrosevear 11/16/2008 Last year, I celebrated this “Night of Hecate” with two other wise women in collaboration to a writing called Crossroads to Humanity the fourth installment from Peace Candles. / Elsie Duggan , also from Redbubble was one of the contributors, Liz is also on RB but not so active. The image is a stock photograph of Hecate’s Straight between the Queen Charlotte Islands and British Columbia mainland, Canada with a merged photo of a Hecate statuary from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, US. Hecate was a beautiful and powerful goddess in her own right, she was the only one of the ancient Titans who Zues allowed to retain their authority once the Olympians seized control. Zues shared with Hecate, and only her, the awesome power of giving humanity anything she wished (or withholding it if she pleased). / Usually classified as a ‘moon goddess’, her kingdoms were actually three-fold…the Earth, the Sky and Sea. Having the ability to create or withold storms undoubtedly played a role in making her the goddess who was the protector of sheperds and sailors. / Hecate was called upon, requesting her guidance in helping to choose the right direction, as well as protecting and restoring the health and growth of a child. She also played a role helping the elderly make a smooth and painless passage into the next life and staying with them to help them , preparing them for their eventual return to earth in their next life. / Hecate reminds us of the importance of change, helping us to release the past, especially those things that are hindering our growth, and to accept change and transitions – asking us to let go of what is familiar, safe and secure and to travel to the scary places of the soul. On this night, if you had Hecate’s powers…WHAT WOULD YOU GIVE HUMANITY? Between the Shadows

This image was started in hospital after my partner lost a baby and i finished it this week whilst recovering froma liver biopsey so this image has a lot of meaning for me. / I have seen many examples of the three phases of the goddess and these are those i am most drawn to and all have had a place along the path i have chosen. The Morr’igan is the Celtic goddess of sexuality and war, she is powerful knows herself, if she is on yourside you can acomplish anything but betray her and theres a sting in her tail, so be careful and respectful of her at all times. To me the Morr’igan is my femanist side the old me who worked in turning the tide of all those injustices women face in the real world. back then i was known for my flame red hair and my sence of being a women on a mission. Isis, She is the mother her wisdom is still seen today in the images of Mary. She has tolarance and understanding and nurtures new life. And creativity with out which i dont know where i would be today, she is my anchor and link to reality when my brain is away with the fairys, she is the goddess that no matter how drained and down i get helps me to see the need of others. Hercate, the crone she is the wisdom in the darkness, she hold all the secrets of the world, life to her is a endless mystery. in short she knows everything and theres no hiding anything from her. To me shes my guild, my common sence, she helps me see lifes path in many ways and that sometimes you have to turn the puzzel on its head and think outside the box, she is the goddess who helps me keep it together and shares her secret in those littel moments that others miss. now with my hair going grey i feel quite comfetable with her guildance. well there you have it in short i hope these goddesses help you as much as they help me Blessed Be to you all

Hecate is the Greek goddess of witchcraft, childbirth and the crossroads. She has power over skies, earth and sea, which I wanted to show through each one of the three figures. The central one carries several symbols attributed to the goddess: the pomegranates in her hair remind us of the legend of Persephone, in which she plays an important role; while she hides her right eye behind her hand, the eye still shows through the fingers, meaning that she’s got the “vision”, or the capacity of seeing the past, present and future. The moon under her right breast denotes that Hecate is a moon goddess, and that she protects the women in labor and their offspring – the moon is associated to the motherhood. The black dog is one of her companions. watercolor and pencil on illustration board / 20×15

Faber-Castell Watercolour-Pencils “Albrecht Dürer” on Canvas Ἑκάτη, as she is spelled in ancient Greek, is a Greco-Roman goddess who’s often associated with magic, witches, ghosts, and crossroads. / She is attested in poetry as early as Hesiod’s Theogony. An inscription from late archaic Miletus naming her as a protector of entrances is also testimony to her presence in archaic Greek religion. / The place of origin of her following is uncertain, but it is thought that she had popular followings in Thrace. Her most important sanctuary was Lagina, a theocratic city-state in which the goddess was served by eunuchs. In Thrace she played a role similar to that of lesser-Hermes, namely a governess of liminal regions (particularly gates) and the wilderness, bearing little resemblance to the night-walking crone she became. Additionally, this led to her role of aiding women in childbirth and the raising of young men. / Hecate also came to be associated with ghosts, infernal spirits, the dead and sorcery. Like the totems of Hermes – herms placed at borders as a ward against danger – images of Hekate were also placed at the gates of cities, and eventually domestic doorways. Over time, the association with keeping out evil spirits could have led to the belief that if offended, Hekate could also allow the evil spirits in. According to one view, this accounts for invocations to Hekate as the supreme governess of the borders between the normal world and the spirit world, and hence as one with mastery over spirits of the dead. Her power certainly came to be closely associated with sorcery. / The modern understanding of Hekate has been strongly influenced by syncretic Hellenistic interpretations. Many of the attributes she was assigned in this period appear to have an older basis. For example, in the magical papyri of Ptolemaic Egypt, she is called the ‘she-dog’ or ‘bitch’, and her presence is signified by the barking of dogs. In late imagery she also has two ghostly dogs as servants by her side. However, her association with dogs predates the conquests of Alexander the Great_ and the emergence of the Hellenistic world. When Philip II._ laid siege to Byzantium she had already been associated with dogs for some time; the light in the sky and the barking of dogs that warned the citizens of a night time attack, saving the city, were attributed to Hecate Lampadephoros (the tale is preserved in the Suda). In gratitude the Byzantines erected a statue in her honour. / From Wikipedia Today, Hekate is the goddess of magic, enchantment and crossroads. She is also a moon goddess and embodies the waning and dark moon. / Animals associated with her are dogs, owls, snakes and wolves. She often carries a key – she opens the doors to the underworld. The symbol at her side is called Strophalos of Hekate or Hekate’s Wheel. It symbolizes her in her triple aspect. Only one ancient source remains to shed any light on the emblem’s meaning. The second century Alexandrian text known as the “Chaldean oracle” describes the emblem as a labyrinthine serpent (emblematic of rebirth) surrounding a spiral, symbolic of the Iynges- “whirlings” or emanations of divine thought. Sacred days are Samhain and November 16th, when sunset marks the beginning of the Night of Hekate / November 30th is the Day of Hekate at the Crossroads. In some traditions January 31st is the night that Hekate hands her torch to Brigid, whose arrival is celebrated at Imbolc.
