Hecate and Selene

The goddess Hecate is an obscure figure. Some say her parents were Titans, while others claim she was the daughter of Zeus. Hecate had three roles: as the goddess of the moon, she traveled the night sky in her chariot, casting cold light throughout the universe; as a goddess of childbirth, she was often invoked to ease labor pains; and she was also worshipped as the goddess of mysterious forces in the underworld. Crossroads were dedicated to her, and the ancient Greeks would leave meat as a sacrifice at places where three roads met. Hecate was sometimes depicted as a triple goddess, carrying a torch (symbolizing lunar light), a snake (symbolizing immortality), and a knife (symbolizing midwifery). The Greek moon goddess Selene was often confused with Hecate. She was usually depicted with a veil fluttering in the wind, shaped like a semicircular firmament, and a crescent moon on her head.
