Hecate Amulet
|
|
Hecate was the Greek goddess of crossroads, witches, and spirits. This Amulet was created by first hammering a silver blank into a sheet. I rolled the edges and used bronze overlay to create a Hecate's Wheel. The skull is hand carved jet and the cabochons Baltic amber, a combination of stones traditionally associated with witches’ charms. The back was textured to look like the full moon, since that too was sacred to both Hecate and her Grecian witches. The piece is completed with a triple bail; a somewhat veiled reference to her three faces.
