Hecate

Hecate (Εκάτη in Ancient Greek) is the daughter of Gaia and Uranus. Though she is technically the goddess of magic, childbirth, crossroads, and witchcraft, she is a Titan. In some beliefs, Hecate is the daughter of Titans Perses and Asteria, even Zeus and Hera.

History
A beautiful and powerful goddess in her own right, the goddess Hecate was the only one of the ancient Titans who Zeus allowed to retain their authority once the Olympians seized control. Zeus shared with Hecate, and only her, the awesome power of giving humanity anything she wished (or withholding it if she pleased).Her kingdoms were actually three-fold. . . the earth, sea, and sky. Having the power to create or withhold storms undoubtedly played a role in making her the goddess who was the protector of shepherds and sailors.

Like Artemis, Hecate was usually depicted with her sacred dogs, who are her companions. It was the goddess Hecate who saw and told the frantic Demeter what had become of her daughter, though it was after Demeter had already been told by Helios. Hecate continued to play an important role in the life of Persephone, becoming her confidante when she was in the Underworld. Hades, thankful for their friendship, was more than hospitable, honoring Hecate as a prominent and permanent guest in the spirit world. This had the effect of enhancing her reputation as a goddess of dreams, prophecies, and phantoms, though she isn't.

The series
Hecate is mentioned among the minor gods, and it is shown she doesn't have a cabin at camp, which forces her children into Hermes' cabin. After Percy had all the gods get their own cabins, it is mentioned that her cabin is made out of magic stones, which will either explode or turn everyone in a half mile into a tree if dropped, according to Percy.

Hecate's dissatisfaction with the gods of Olympus causes her to join Kronos' forces, and employs her demons and other minions against Olympus, wanting revenge, and wanting a throne and a cabin of her own.

Hecate sends her Empousa to attack and kill Percy Jackson, which fails due to Rachel Elizabeth Dare. She is mentioned at using her magic powers and influence to help blockade New York City in The Last Olympian.

Personality
A lover of solitude, Hecate was, like her cousin Artemis, a unmarried goddess, unwilling to sacrifice her independent nature for the sake of marriage. Hecate is very busy, as she has many roles and jobs, but she is generous and helpful. She is close friends with Persephone.

Physcial description
Hecate is a beautiful Titan, and it is only centuries later that people began to think of her as a crone. Hecate resents this, as she is a beautiful and luminous Titan.

Powers
She has the power of magic- is the influnce of events by supernatural means. She is one of the only ones who can create potions for various reasons. Hecate has the power to cast spells and scry for people and objects. Hecate is the goddess of witches, she uses magic, and is known for using it against certain mortals. Empousa are vampire demons commanded by Hecate, and are used as warriors against the Olympians and demigods.

Her kingdoms were actually three-fold. . . the earth, sea, and sky. Having the power to create or withhold storms undoubtedly played a role in making her the goddess who was the protector of shepherds and sailors.&nbsp Hecate's ability to see into the Underworld, of the sleeping and the dead, made her comfortable and tolerant in the company of those most would shun out of fear or misunderstanding.

Hecate's farsightedness and attention to detail, combined with her extraordinary interest in that which most of people discount as irrelevant or arcane, gave her tremendous powers. Hecate, like her cousin Artemis, was known as a protector of women, especially during childbirth. Not only was Hecate called upon to ease the pains and progress of a woman's labor, but especially to protect and restore the health and growth of a child. Hecate is constantly busy, helping the elderly make a smooth and painless passage into the next life.

Familiar with the process of death and dying as well as that of new birth and new life, Hecate was wise in all of earth's mysteries.
