Hecate, 3rd century AD, Yalvaç. From the Wikipedia: an Greco-Roman goddess of triple nature - chthonic, celestial and maritime - variously associated with crossroads, gates and other entrances, passages, light in darkness, childbirth, nurturing the young, lunar lore, the night sky, the sea, the wilderness, the restless dead, dogs, snakes, healing and poisonous plants, magic and witchcraft, as well as a more universal role as World Soul in Hellenistic times. In Ptolemaic Alexandria and elsewhere during the Hellenistic period, she appears as a three-faced goddess associated with magic, witchcraft, and curses. Today she is claimed as a goddess of witches - an early example is the play "MacBeth" which compares this Mother Goddess to witchcraft.
