Hecate-Modern Redesign

Modernized redesign of the Greek goddess Hecate. Probably my favorite of the Greek gods. Hecate is the goddess commonly associated with the crossroads, the supernatural, and the underworld. She's usually depicted with in a tri-form with three heads. Black dogs and owls are animals that are associated with her but she mostly has a hound at her side in the stories. One of the popular objects depicted with Hecate are two torches.

So here I decided to give the goddess a modern twist. She's more of a sort of magic-punk who carries around zippos and plays with magical fire instead of carrying torches. She travels around with her canine companion, Odigos, and continually pops up on unsuspecting travelers who happen to be near old, abandoned crossroads. She loves playing around with the occult and is an expert with giving directions.
