Yes! She needs more love. But I would like to add that while largely a protector, some of her servants might paint a different image. She had these demons called "Empousa" under her service, which were basically vampires with hair made of flames, one donkey leg, and one prosthetic leg made of bronze or brass (other descriptions exist, but this seems like the most common one). They use shapeshifting to seduce and feed on the blood of young men, and in some cases also ate their flesh.

Bearer of torches, Leader of hounds, Holder of keys, Daughter of the deep earth and the starry sky, You tread upon the path less traveled; You walk, with certainty and without fear, in the dark night, in the wilderness, along roads most treacherous, among those who skirt the edges of order. Hekate, friend of all animals, protector of your beloved, You know the perils of all the worlds, as each world is your realm to wander. Thus do You hold safe my home, thus do You bar the door from all ill, thus do You drive away the baneful and the false. Hekate, compassionate goddess, I call to You. Be kind to me, protect me from all harm and protect all these stray animals I love, your daughters and sons. Be our guardian against evil. Protect us from restless dead and other evil spirits. Dear Hekate, be not restrained by my threshold, for my entire home is under your dominion. I invite Thee, Queen of the Night, Queen of all witches. I invite Thee to my home, to reside in this altar made for Thee. Make me strong and cunning so I may defeat all my enemies at once.

Tezcatlipoca aka Jurakán (root of the word hurricane) had Ehecatl as one of their titles, a wind god(?) who appeared at crossroads at night to challenge warriors and was the Night Wind. My own research points to Jurakán of the Caribbean islands as the Dragon of the Storms.

I have always pronounced her name as you did (most of the time), although I have heard the other pronunciations online. Interestingly, there is also the Egyptian goddess Heqet (H'ket), who was their goddess of witchcraft. Since she predates Hecate by over 1,000 years, some have speculated Hecate's name was derived from Heqet. She was a frog-headed woman and one of the primordial deities of Chaos. She was mostly worshipped in the delta region of the Nile, where it is a swamp, but also had shrines and temples throughout the Nile River region. As consort of Khnum, ram-headed god of craftsmen, Heqet was also the goddess of fertility, birth and rebirth (Khnum crafted men on his potter's wheel; Heqet breathed life into them). As a witch, she could reanimate the dead.

Perses (Πέρσης) meaning the radiant was the titan of the night time sky & Asteria (Αστερία) meaning "of the stars" or "like the stars" was the female titan of starlight. Their offspring is Hecate (Εκάτη) meaning "the one from afar" as an allusion to the titaness being able to affect or harm from afar. Her cult was stronger in Asia Minor mainly in the Hellenic city of Melitos. An epithet often used in greek was "τριτηα" meaning the triple. This alludes to the help she provided to the Olympians in their battle against the Gigantes (giants) and as a reward she was given authority over the three realms the primal Gods commanded, Heaven (Zeus), Sea (Poseidon) and the Underworld (Hades). As all titans related to light, (Perses, Asteria, Euryfaessa, Hyperion) had some oracular power so did she. All the above as primordial powers were related and invoked during witchcraft so was she. Being a lunar titan she helped Demetra find Persefone when all lights were out. When Persefone was not able to fully return to Earth she escorted her in the underworld. Sacred places to her were the places where three roads met. As a goddess of the underworld two kinds of sacrifices were offered: grains and food left as offerings on such places, and blood offerings of dogs as was done for Hades.

Blood offering of dogs doesn’t really seem to fit. Maybe it could be interpreted that way in an instance where you had to show mercy to an injured dog, one less fortunate. But offering your energy (blood carries our energy) to help a dog in need would make more sense maybe? Like volunteering at a shelter, adopting, or fostering a dog.

Some of my favorite Gods and Goddessess are Nyx, Hestia, Hades, Hecate, Pontus, Chaos, Apollo, Artemis, and The Three Fates. Most of these are so underrated, even when they are some of the most important Gods and Goddessess. Yes, i said some because i know Apollo, Artemis, Hades, and The Three Fates are very important to Greece mythology. Thank you for making these videos.

Another piece I learned about Hecate was that she held a somewhat similar role to Cerberus. While Cerberus had the duty of preventing the souls of the dead from leaving the Underworld, Hecate would prevent the living from entering into the Underworld. Though the story of Demeter and Persephone stands as an exception to this rule. In the research I've done, I've come across something of a debate as to whether Hecate was really childless. Some argue that she was, while some argue that she may have been the mother of Circe. I haven't looked into the arguments enough to draw my own conclusion though.

In Greek we pronounce her as e-KA-ti, the "H" in front of the name is actually an ancient Greek secondary intonation (δασεία) which, in the English transliteration becomes the letter H.

Hecate's symbol was the letter "Y"....in ancient doorways you will find that symbol placed above them. When walking thru a gateway or a doorway one was advised to say a small blessing to Hecate as to help make the right choice on the path that would follow once passing thru. It also was a symbol of her three headed images. She was the past the present and the future all in one goddess. Hecate did not need "love" as we know it...she was beloved and followed by so many believers ...she called them "Her Children" and followers of Hecate called her "Their Mother"...if ever lost all one has to do is call out to Hecate and she would come to advise the best solution, much like a "Loving Mother."

I love her do much!!! Yes, she definitely helps all those in need. Especially children, she will always answer a call to help a child, any child, regardless of religious beliefs!!! She also helps the elderly, physically and mentally disabled!!! She always always helps fami,ies in need regardless of religious beliefs or whether they are rich, poor, or middle class!!! She always always answers if you are a student if any age, any religious beliefs, it doesnt matter if you are homosexuals or heterosexuals, to her you are all her beloved children!! She once said to me, "do not give action to those thoughts that would harm another, think and rethink and analyze your thoughts, because even your good intentions would harm another, so be careful of your thoughts! Take responsibility for all you dom say and act, because there are no scape goats in life, you must answer for all you do, say and act upon. So learn to take responsibility for those things that you do right and do no harm to another!! We do not cast spells against the will of another, regardless, free will is a gift from the Heavens and therefore must be respected always!!" Then she called me her daughter, and told me to never stop praying in any religious language. To keep the doors of the spiritual realm open and alive un my life, so that blessings will come through!!! She has been faithful and I live her. I am eclectic and or as active prayerband worship in many religious LANGUAGES and live them all. I have heard her screaming and crying for the deaths if children in the Middle East, Africa, Central and South America, Asian Nations, and many others. Because of hunger, wars, famine, abuses, tortures. Even in the United States, Europe!! She absolutely loves children and can't see them suffering!!! The truth.

I have often read that Hekate had three-headed statues because she was often combined with Selene, the titaness of the moon and Artemis, the goddess of the hunt, as all three were night goddesses as well as virgin deities. There are also myths detailing that one of the kind things she did was to guide shades (spirits of the dead) on their way to Hades. Another describes that Hekate was asked by Zeus to assist him during the Titanomachy, as he feared her great powers of witchcraft and plague, and her torch that was able to expel flames. She decided to assist him after being convinced the Titan regime was cruel and untrustworthy. There is also an account of her patrolling the caverns of Hades with Cerberus on a leash, lighted by her eternal torch. All of these snippets I gathered from reading renowned Mythologists. Sadly, even with hours of searching, I cannot locate the source for the Hekate-Cerberus description. It must have been a library book.
