i am doing a monologue on Hecate?

Question

im not sure what she would act like. would she be like a rude selfesh goddess or what? there are lots of things about her that are really different and i dont know what to belive? how would she act, or what would be her personality?

Answer 1

I think she would be very proud and somewhat cold after living among humanity for so many years, somewhat weary of the world if she has no purpose at the moment.

She is wise, and at times be cruel. She is a leader and a queen of witches, and therefore take no rudeness or disrespect from anyone.

Answer 2

Okay so this is absolutely your interpretation on her, but I have always seen Hecate as a wise woman but worn to the frays of the edge. Think Cruella Deville in Goth form.

She is the Goddess of Magic, Mystery and the Moon. She's seductive and eloquent but yet mysterious and rather neutral as she plays both sides of the coin.

Maybe an older woman, Euroecclectic accent, nothing really specific, the cold but alluring stare of dark eyes I can see a long cigarette holder regardless of whether a cigarette is there or not (for a bit of slightly modern) maybe model like stances with the shoulders and hips perched far away from one another when still like posing for a picture. Kinda like one of those old money women who found a bit of freedom in the late 60's debutante moments.

I'd play her neutral as if she doesn't really care. She would know the world around her and how to navigate the waves without sinking. Maybe the phrase it's not the road you travel on, it's where you end up, might make sense in regards to referring to her.

Answer 3

NAME: Hecate (means `influence from afar´), also Hebe the Virgin, Hera the Mother, Hecate the Crone, and Hecate Trevia.

SYMBOLS: Three-way crossroads, Dogs, the Moon, a Frog.

USUAL IMAGE: One of the triple goddesses. She was seen at different times as a young girl, mother, and crone, the ancients ideas of the three states of female power. She is most often shown as a crone, an old hag with the power of death.

HOLY BOOKS: The Book of Shadows.

HOLY DAYS: September 21, Feast of Divine Life, October 31, Samhain.

PLACE OF WORSHIP: Where three roads meet.

RELATIVES: Dionysus, son (as Hecate Selene).

FORM OF WORSHIP: Wine, dancing, running around naked, the basic stuff.

SYNODEITIES: Hequit (Egyptian), Kali-Ma (Hindu), Baba-Yaga (Russian), Morgan Le Fay (Arthurian), Joan Collins (Hollywood).

DETAILS: One of the oldest Greek versions of the Trinitarian Goddess, Hecate was derived from the Egyptian midwife-Goddess Hequit, Heket, or
Kekat, who in turn evolved from the heq or tribal matriarch of pre-dynastic Egypt: a wise-woman in command of all the hekau or "mother's words of power."

As a heavenly midwife Hequit delivered the Sun God every morning. Her totem was the frog, symbol of the fetus, and this animal was sacred to
worshippers of Hecate.

In Greece Hecate was one of the many names for the original feminine trinity, ruling heaven, Earth, and the underworld. Hellenes tended to
emphasize her Crone or underworld aspect, but continued to worship her at places where three roads met, especially in rites of magick,divination, or consultation with the dead.

Her image was used to guard three-way crossroads for many centuries; thus she was called Hecate Trevia or Hecate of the Three Ways. Offerings
were left to her roadside shrines on nights of the full moon.

Dogs were said to be the only animals that could always see her when she moved about on the Earth, so that it was said when dogs barked at night
for no reason Hecate was walking by.

During the early Middle Ages, Hecate was turned into the Queen of the Ghostworld or Queen of the Witches. One reason for this may have been
because she was one of the favorite versions of the Crone, an archetype of the belief that as women had the power to bring life into the world with birth, at some point they must also gain the power to take it away.
