Hecate (Ἑκάτη) is the Greek goddess of magic, crossroads, and the moon. The name derives from hekatos, "far-reaching" or "working from afar."
Hecate is rare as a given name — more often used in literature and witchcraft traditions. She appears in Shakespeare's Macbeth as the queen of witches.
Hecate reduces to nine — the number of triple-goddess wisdom.
