Hi,if it's not to much trouble,i was wondering if anyone had any infermation on the goddess hecate,i've done some research on her,i know that she is goddess of night,the moon(particularly the new or dark moon)ghosts,necromancy,sorcery/witchcraft and crossroads in the greek and/or roman pantheon,and the her symboles include dogs,crossroads,keys,the dark moon and the athame,in ancent times people would sacrifice black dogs and lambs to her at crossroads(but no,i'm not in the habbit of sacrificeing animals :) ) and i know that she has sometimes been called the goddess of the magicians,that she is also sometimes seen as the queen of witches,she is the only child of the titans perses and asteria,and some people beileve that she walks in the night with three black hunting dogs,and that she holds all wild beasts sacred,but creatures like owls,snakes and ravens are most sacred to her,and that there is a celtic goddess named carridwen who i think is a lot like her and i think that morrigon is too,does anyone know anything that i missed or was wrong about?or of any books besides book of the witch moon that talk about her? or websites? I thank you for your time.
