| History: | House Hecate is a Vampire House in the Societas Draconistrarum bloodline and the great clan of Sinclair. It is also, and perhaps foremost, a coven of witches. We worship the great Greek Goddess Hecate.
Hecate was the Greek goddess of magic, witchcraft, crossroads, ghosts, necromancy, knowledge of herbs and poisonous plants. She was also known as the goddess of the moon and night. Hecate was a wise goddess and she often helped gods in their wars against giants. Hecate was called the queen and goddess of the night. Accompanied by her hounds, ghosts and people who were considered social outcasts, she took trips during night-time. Some of these trips were made to the underworld – sometimes to help other gods according to the myths. She was also know as Mistress of Corpses, , Mother of Darkness, Moon Mistress and many other names. The underworld is a land of the sleeping and the dead, a place that would not particularly be a choice for a goddess born in the Greek heavens. Hecate felt comfortable in the underworld. Who did she find there? She found those who were shunned out of fear or misunderstanding. Hecate witnessed the abduction of Persephone. Hecate saw Hades abduct Persephone to make her his new bride. After this happened, Zeus asked Hecate to go and search for Persephone. Hecate found Persephone, but the outcome was not what Zeus wanted. Hecate went to the underworld and helped a frightened Persephone adjust to her new life. Hades appreciated this gesture. To show gratitude for Hecate’s actions, Hades invited her to be a permanent resident in the underworld. Hecate could come and go as she pleased. She is a fascinating goddess and represents many of the values that we in Hecate hold dear. We welcome all with an interest in witchcraft and who present with similar understandings, values and decency to our own. Look for Hecate, we are not so hard to find! | ||||||||
