Need Magic, Call Hekate

Well known as the goddess of magic and witchcraft, Hekate also held sway over the night, Moon, necromancy and ghosts.
While she claimed Perses and Asteria as her parent's, rumors abound that Zeus, Nyx, Demeter and Aristaios might actually be her true parents.
Known as a virgin goddess, rumors also suggest that Shylla, Kirke, Medea, and Aigialeus were her "secret" offspring. Well, what do you expect from the goddess of witchcraft! 
As a Master of Plant lore Hekate, knows those that can save life, as 
wall as those that are deadly poison.
With three faces to better see the workings of the World, it is natural
 that Hekate is also the goddess of city walls, doorways, gates and roads.
"Well, well if it isn't the cursed 'Brave Hiktos Nuluk.' Do you like my snakes my little hoplite, their embrace is to die for..." 

For more on the exploits of Brave Hiktos Nuluk see:

Hekate is a large plastic piece from Mystic Battles that I painted in June, while Hiktos is a metal 25mm piece from Archive that I painted in the 1970's.
