Hecate Greek goddess of Magic and Witchcraft She was the daughter of the Titans Perses and Asteria, and she was honored in the households as a protective goddess who brought prosperity. Hecate was a chthonic goddess that preceded the Olympians, and it seems that she was highly worshipped in Thrace. She was also closely associated with the spiritual world, ghosts, and the dead. She is sometimes seen as a protector of those who might be vulnerable, such as warriors and hunters, herdsmen and shepherds, and children. However, she's not protective in a nurturing or motherly way instead, she is a goddess who will exact vengeance upon those who cause harm to people she protects. She was very relevant in the times of ancient Greece which was between 800 B.C. and 500 B.C.
