Hecate represents the darker side of witchcraft, mainly associated with the moon. She is a goddess of magic, divination, the moon and dogs. She presides over crossroads and purifying spells, and is often associated with herbs and the dead. Many Pagans see her as a Goddess of the night, while others associate her with any phase of the moon. Either way, she is seen as the powerful "Queen of Witches" or "Queen of Darkness".
