Hecate was the only child of the Titanes Perses and Anstaria and is a very complex goddess. My interpretation depicts her standing at the crossroads protecting travellers from evil spirits. She holds a lantern to light the way for the lost, and a spiritual compass to help them find their way. There are no destinations on the signpost because everybody arrives for different reasons and their choice if they are alive is an individual one but if dead, their destination is predetermined and in either case Hecate makes the journey easier.

Hecate or Hekate is a chthonic Greco-Roman goddess, asociated with magic, witches, ghosts, and crossroads. Hecate also came to be associated with ghosts, infernal spirits, the dead and sorcery. Over time, the association with keeping out evil spirits could have led to the belief that if offended, Hecate could also allow the evil spirits in. According to one view, this accounts for invocations to Hecate as the supreme governess of the borders between the normal world and the spirit world, and hence as one with mastery over spirits of the dead. Whatever the reasons, Hecate's power certainly came to be closely associated with sorcery.
