The ancient Greeks worshiped Hecate as the goddess of magic, witchcraft, and (along Selene and Artemis) the moon. She is commonly (but not always) depicted with three heads facing in different directions and holding two torches. Hecate possesses two animal familiars, a black dog and a polecat, which Ovid tells us were once women.
Hecate is also known for helping Demeter in her search for Persephone.
