Hecate

keeper of the three-way crossing

aether

Hecate holds the torches at every crossroad and threshold, goddess of moon, magic, and the choice not yet made; to dream of her is to stand where three roads meet and know that hesitation, too, is a kind of prayer.

Fragments

She alone kept her honours when the new gods rose, for she moves freely through sky and sea and shadow, and lends her light to those who are lost between one path and the next.

Where three roads meet she waits with torch and key and hound, facing every way at once, and the offerings left at her feet in the dark are never spoken of by day.
