Hecate

Hecate stands at the crossroads with dog and stoat
Waiting
to fill baskets
with words of wisdom.

  1. That is a great depiction of Hecate, both my mentor and my muse - not always an easy task mistress ;)

  2. she looks a very mild Hecate but the dog and stoat are definitely on the look-out

  3. Prior to incurring her mother’s wrath Hecate was powerful in both the sky and the earth. Like so many of these figures she has many aspects. This is her gentler one Carol :-) Like most of us, she can transform completely.

  4. I know of Hecate from other sources, and I know not to mess with her! But she also has something to do with people born on the cusp, as I am.

  5. She looks so cool -my little store of wisdom seems very small.
