Hecate is the Greek Goddess of the crossroads Wilderness and Childbirth. She is usually seen with two ghost hounds that were said to serve her. Today she is often seen as a goddess of witchcraft and evil. Hecate is said to haunt a three-way crossroad; each of her heads facing in a different direction. She is said to appear when the ebony moon shines (see Fig01 for reference). But I would like to create something a bit different to the real myth, because in my mind there must be a round moon behind her. In history, she is said to haunt a three-way crossroads, but to create something different I’m going to put three keys in her hand. Hecate is a Greek Goddess, with Greek traditional clothes, so I will give her a long skirt. I don’t know why all the girls in my paintings are so heartbroken; maybe there is a crack in my own heart...
