Paganism...

OK since i got some love on my pagan post i figured i would go into some more detail about what i believe!
Paganism is the belief of many "gods or goddess' ". I worship a goddess named Hecate who is the goddess of the "cross roads".Hecate, Greek goddess of the three paths, guardian of the household, protector of everything newly born, and the goddess of witchcraft -- once a widely revered and influential goddess,  the reputation of Hecate has been tarnished over the centuries. In current times, she is usually depicted as a "hag" or old witch stirring the cauldron. Unfortunately the description of Hecate is very wrong she is extremely beautiful yet strong. Usually classified as a "moon goddess",  her kingdoms were actually three-fold . . . the earth, sea, and sky. Having the power to create or withhold storms undoubtedly played a role in making her the goddess who was the protector of shepherds and sailors.Hecate teaches us to be just and to be tolerant of those who are different or less fortunate, yet she is hardly a "bleeding heart", for Hecate dispenses justice "blindly" and equally. I believe that is the reason i follow her so willing and had a instant connect with her. Here is a picture of what she is believed to look like.



So Now you all know a little more of what i believe! If you have any other questions Please don't hesitate to ask me i will do another post on said questions!

Thanks so much
