THE DARK GODDESSES
I decided to do a little research on the Dark Goddesses of Wiccan and Pagan
beliefs, because along with the light there also has to be dark.
Hecate-This
should begin with the Queen of the Dark Goddesses she is a supreme
goddess of witchcraft and protection. Like Cerridwen she is usually perceived
as
the dark mother in the crone aspect. Hecate can also be used in spells
of revenge,
but among wiccans that is a definate no-no!! Hecate is also the giver
of justice
but be sure of yourself when you ask for this because she will judge you
also!
She is also goddess of the crossroads and is sometimes depicted as having
three
heads, one of a dog, a snake and a horse. She is usually seen with two
ghost
hounds that are said to serve her.
Kali-Hindu- The Goddess of Death, creative and destructive, protectress
of
abused women. She is also known as the black earth mother, she often eats
her
own children for sustenance. She is known for giving life then taking it
away
again.
The White Lady-The Celtic Goddess of terror and the underworlds
Cerridwen-Moon and harvest Goddess, also associated with the Dark
Mother
aspect of the crone.
