Hekate is ready to download!
Hekate is an ancient Goddess probably originating from Greece. I say probably because she may have been brought over from Egypt or somewhere else. She’s just been around a very very long time so it’s hard to trace her origins.
Hekate is the Goddess of the crossroads, borders, city walls and by association, everything in the realm of the outside even the outside of human existence. She occupied the “between” places, like the places between the living and dead, the sacred and the profane, the body and the spirit. She is also the Goddess of light, magic, darkness, witchcraft, knowledge of herbs, poisonous plants and ghosts. She was also a Mother Goddess, often caring for those in labor.
Her familiar is a little black dog, who originally was Queen Hekabe. She lept into the sea after the fall of Troy and Hekate, taking pity on her, transformed her into her companion. You can see her little black dog in the coloring page.
Hekate is also a triple Goddess. That means that she represnts the moon in its various phases, new, full and waxing/waning. That is often represented as a young maiden, a warrior queen/mother, and an old woman or crone. I gave Unicorn Goddess Hekate this triple aspect along with a beautiful full moon shining behind her.
Hekate is the light bringer and is often represented as carrying a torch, as I have drawn her here in this coloring page too. Even though she is often in the spaces between realms, she brings illumination and clarity during the times when it is needed the most. May she shine light for you when you need it as well.
