ORIENTAL THOUGHT OVERVIEW

The metaphysical tremendous, the deep awe before the great, unchanging truth, and the full submission of all human judgement to a mystery unnamed, which is infinite, impersonal, yet intimately within all beings, all things, and in death too. By Dr Joseph Campbell.

Hecate or Hekate is a goddess in Ancient Greek religion and mythology, most often shown holding two torches or a key and in later periods depicted in triple form. She was variously associated with crossroads, entrance-ways, dogs, light, magic, witchcraft, knowledge of herbs and poisonous plants, ghosts, necromancy, and sorcery. Wikipedia.
