Description
Finally I was inspired to do some art! I owe that to the beautiful model, who is just perfect for the goddess Hecate in the stock pic!
Hecate was probably a pre-Olympic Great Goddess. When she was incorporated to the Greek pantheon, her background became confusing: some said she was a titan, some others, a goddess. She became the companion of Persephone in the underworld and was known as the goddess of crossroads, ghosts and magic. Still, she was giving and loving to her devotees and was part of the Eleusian Mysteries. She was portrayed with a torch.
With time, as paganism faded, she was better known as the typical hag, and it is possible she is the real "Diana" who appeard in the famous "Aradia, or the Gospel of the Witches", an 1899 book by Charles Godfrey Leland, allegedly, on Stregheria (Italian witchcraft).
The looks of Hecate here are inspired by the Orphic Hymn to the goddess ([link] )

Finalmente me he inspirado para hacer arte! Se lo debo a la preciosa modelo quien es perfecta para la diosa Hecate en esaa imagen de stock.
Hecate fue probablemente una Gran Diosa pre Olimpica. Al ser incorporada al panteón griego sus antecedentes se hicieron confusos: para unos era una titán, para otros una diosa. Se volvió acompañante de Perséfone en el inframundo, y era la diosa de las encrucijadas, los fantasmas y la magia. Aún así era generosa y amorosa con sus devotos y era parte de los misterios Eleusinos. Se le representaba llevando una antorcha.
Con el tiempo y el desvanecimiento el paganismo se le conoció como la tipica bruja, y es posible que sea la "Diana" que aparece en el libro "Aradia, o el evangelio de las brujas", publicado en 1899 por Charles Godfrey Leland, que supuestamente trata de la Stregheria (brujería italiana).
La apariencia de Hecate en esta fotomanipulación está inspirada por el himno Órfico a la diosa.
"Llamo a la Enodiana Hécate, hermosa dama
de forma terrenal, acuática y celestial,
Sepulcral, adornada con un velo azafranado,
te complaces con los oscuros fantasmas que vagabundean en la sombra;
Hija de Perses, cazadora incansable, yo te saludo.
La poseedora de las llaves del mundo, que nunca fallará.
En la roca áspera vagabundear te complace,
líder y enfermera, presencia nuestros ritos;
lideres y cuidadores presencian nuestros ritos;
propicia el éxito de nuestros deseos justos:
acepta nuestro homenaje y bendice el incienso."
