Hecate is a goddess in ancient Greek religion and mythology, most often shown holding a pair of torches, a key, or snakes, or accompanied by dogs, and in later periods depicted as three-formed or triple-bodied. She is variously associated with crossroads, night, light, magic, protection from witchcraft, the Moon, graves, and ghosts. Her earliest appearance in literature was in Hesiod's Proveniente de Asia, la imagen de Hécate se fusionó con la mitología griega y paso a formar parte de los dioses Griegos. Diosa de las encrucijadas y guardiana de la frontera entre el mundo de los humanos y espíritus, la imagen de Hécate con el tiempo fue utilizada para alejar los malos espíritus de las casas.
