S1 Ep37: Hecate

Hecate is a Greek Goddess who rules liminal space, crossroads, thresholds, cemeteries, spirits, life, death, transitions, herbalism and magic. She is primarily a Moon Goddess and also shows herself as a triple goddess and Queen of the Witches, and she is represented as having three heads looking three different directions.

 

Recently on social media, Hecate has been portrayed as being connected with the Devil. April, Harmony and Maggie debunk this theory as they explore the historical context of Hecate being in the Greek pantheon before Christianity and before the concept of the Devil was even in existence.
