 
 
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
