Goddess Hecate with Torches
6 inch resin statue shows the Goddess
holding her torches so we might find our way through the darkness. Gold
color finish varies.
With her torches, Hecate led Persephone back
from the underworld to reunite her in embrace with her mother, Demeter, and
bring Spring back to the world.
A caring and personal guide, Hecate shows us the way to and from her Mysteries.
She is a key-holder and light-bringer, protector and transitioner, gatekeeper
and guide.
Images of Hecate often guarded the doorway to the inner sanctuary of the
Mysteries. With her torches, she hurries through the night looking back to
ensure we follow and do not loose our way at the crossroads.
The original Holy Trinity was the maiden-matron-crone holding triple sway over
heaven, earth, and underworld. Her torch of lunar fire, serpent of immortality
and knife of midwifery imbued her with primal power, especially in Greek,
Egyptian and Celtic cultures. Christian tradition diabolized her as queen of
witches to obscure her importance to the agrarian societies of medieval Europe
as a source of healing magic.
