Help[Facts] Re: Hey Pav and Nanaea! Whaddaya Think?
in reply to a message by Daividh
Hecate was goddess of the cross-roads. Her faces were turned in all directions (earth, heaven and sea)
and she helped people of all walks of life whom she approved of (warriors, travellers, seafarers, etc).
Calling Hecate "evil" and "satanic" reminds me of the very kind of silliness that propelled early Christians
zealots to abolish the Olympic Games, outlaw Gymnasiums (working out in the nude is not in the best of
JudeoChristian traditions!) shut down the philosophical academies, tear down places of worship, burn down
libraries etc etc. Early globalization at its very worst, with contempt to regional differences and customs.
Calling Hecate "satanic" is most diabolical indeed! And I explain myself: "diabolical" is derived from the
Greek "diabole" which means to slander.
P.S. Why is Mick Jagger's "ooo-ooo" sound constantly ringing in my ears lately???
