Hecate is the Greek goddess of the crossroads and is most commonly depicted with three heads, those of a dog, a snake, and a horse. She is said to haunt a three-way crossroad, with each of her heads facing a different direction.
Although commonly associated as a goddess of witchcraft, she was responsible for the rescue of Persephone from the Underworld.[1]
