The Hekate or Hecate wheel…also known as the Straphalos is featured on this beautiful and simple charm necklace. The symbol is often thought of as a labyrinth and is thought to signify the multiple directions ruled over by Goddess Hekate. She is an ancient Goddess…and could not be eliminated by the coming of the Olympians to Greece…so Zeus granted Her dominion over the Heavens, Earth and Underworld. (You can see this symbolized in the Staphalos.) She is a triple Goddess who is venerated at the Crossroads (where three roads converge) and is often pictured as having three faces looking in the three directions. A powerful Goddess of Witchcraft and Magick, She has dominion over the mysteries and is said to reveal these to Her devotees. Known as a guide of the Dead and night wandering souls…She is often venerated for guidance and direction. Among Her symbols are the keys, the torches and Her sacred hounds. Hail Hekate!
