Hecate triformis standing facing, holding torch in each hand; serpent to left and right.RPC VI online 6270; SNG von Aulock 4590.RareHecate was one of the most feared chthonic goddesses of ancient time. Her origins are uncertain, but in every version she remains closely linked to the Titan lineage. Her cult is very ancient and in some respects recalls that of the Egyptian Isis.
She appears as a terrifying figure: often depicted with three heads (dog, serpent, and horse) or with three bodies, she was believed to roam the earth on moonless nights, followed by howling dogs, ghosts and the Empusae, female demons who seduced men only to drain their life force.
To appease her, the Greeks left offerings at crossroads, hoping she would not disturb households during her nocturnal wanderings. These rites had a secret, magical character, for Hecate was thought to reward her most devoted followers with occult knowledge.
Her association with magic and witchcraft endured long after paganism faded. This was tied to her role as a moon goddess, able to govern births and human desires. In this symbolic system, Hecate represents the dark moon, while Artemis embodies the crescent moon and Selene the full moon. Condition: Very fine.Weight: 8.86 g. Diameter: 25 mm.Estimate: € 250.
