Triple Moon Goddess; goddess of darkness; godess of magic / moon, waning moon, Earth, Pluto, Saturn, Autumn
Myth:  Hecate is all three aspects of the Goddess as Maiden, Mother, and Crone.  In her Crone aspect, symbolized by the dark moon, she was the Goddess of the Dead and the Queen of the Night.  Hecate was worshiped at the intersections of three roads, where she walked with her spectral hounds, illuminating the night with her blazing torch.  Those who worshiped Hecate knew the secrets of magic and sorcery, and dedicated their work to the dark goddess.  The Crone aspect of woman, represented by Hecate, was honored in many cultures as the wise woman, guide to the Underworld and the great revealer of the mysteries.

Hecate's wisdom:  Call upon me to claim your psychic power as a wise woman and the keeper of women's ancient mysteries.  Remember the importance of honoring the dark, for only then can we participate fearlessly in the joys and challenges of life.
Be careful when calling upon Hecate for she will give you what you need...not always what you ask for.
