About to start my next Hekateion project.

Pilgrimage to #greece🇬🇷 Today we went to the Ancient #Agora (market place) of #Athens. It contained mercantile and administration buildings, but also temples and other sacred sites. A #Hekateion is on display in the museum as well as at least 2 possible depictions of Hers. #hekategoddess #hekate #hecate #pagan #paganism #greekgods #godsofhellas #polytheism #greekpolytheism (hier: Ancient Agora of Athens) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEolDFmHY5n/?igshid=6gvq9cfv38pm

Hekateion (little votive column to Hecate). The triple-body goddess is surrounded by three dancing Charites. Attica, ca. 3rd century BC. ( Public Domain )

Estas figuras eran bastante populares y el Hekateia tenía varios símbolos en las manos de la Diosa. Antorchas, Enócoe (Jarra de libaciones), Fiale (Tazón de libación), fruta y perros a los pies de la diosa. En el tiempo romano, se añadieron también las llaves, las serpientes, la luna creciente, la daga y el látigo.

Τριακάς - From today's sunset: Ἑκάτης δεῖπνον. The end of the Month, the Old and New - it is always sacred to the Goddess Hekate. https://www.academia.edu/11144029/Hekate_cenni_teologici_e_culto "the thirtieth we celebrate in Hades because of Hekate" - ie , the thirtieth day of the month (if present, otherwise the 29th, which is, in any case, called 'thirtieth') is honored Hekate as it is the last day of the month and at the same time, we also honor the dead (in fact, in its calendar, Pletho dedicated the twenty-ninth day to Pluto). "The image of Hekate is erected and consecrated at the crossroads, and rites in honor of the dead have been made on the thirtieth day." The last day of the month must be also devoted to meditation and to the reconsideration of the work done during the month, as well as to the preparation for the new month to come. In any case, no one should undertake an important work during this last day. It is highly recommended to fast for the whole day (for example, this was the habit of Proklos) (Fragmentary statue of triple Hekate; from Hellas, 4th-3rd Century BCE. Now in a private collection...)
