As subjects such as necromancy, spirit worship and liminality began to be associated with witchcraft in the modern era, she became associated with it. ☾ In the Homeric Hymn to Demeter, Hekate acts as Persephone's guide in the underworld, and also aides in Demeter finding out where Persephone had been kidnapped to. ☾ Hekate was commonly considered to either be the child of Perseus & Asteria, Zeus & Asteria, or Nyx(no second parent), she is a 3rd generation Titaness and is not considered an Olympian, she was not banished to Tartarus during the Titanomachy because she was loyal to the Olympians.
