The Many Curves of Hekate's Wheel

[SilverBear]

Hekate’s Wheel is a popular symbol in pagan and wiccan communities. The symbol is made up of a series of overlapping triangles, which create a star-like shape. Hekate’s Wheel is often used as a symbol of protection, as it is believed to ward off negative energy and evil spirits.

Hekate’s wheel is a symbol of the triple goddess in many pagan traditions; also known as the Strophalos of Hekate and is a symbol featuring a central six-sided star surrounded by a circle, a “triple-sided” labyrinth, and an outer circle.

The triple goddess is a very popular concept in paganism, and Hekate’s wheel is a great way to visualize the three aspects of the goddess. The three lunar phases represent the three stages of life: birth, death, and rebirth. The three aspects of the goddess represent the three stages of womanhood: maiden, mother, and crone. These three stages are often seen as being interconnected, with the maiden being the daughter of the mother, and the crone being the grandmother.

Hekate’s wheel is a reminder that everything in life is connected. We are all born, we all die, and we are all reborn. The three stages of life are not separate, but are all part of the same cycle.

With all of the research I’ve done - The origins of Hekate’s Wheel are unclear, and can be confusing to sift through! But it is thought to date back to the Bronze Age. It has been found in Mycenaean art, and it is thought to have originated in the Minoan civilization. Hekate’s Wheel was later adopted by the Greeks, and it became associated with Hekate, the goddess of magic, witchcraft, the crossroads, and the moon.

Hekate’s Wheel is a symbol of the journey of life. Just as a wheel turns, so too does life move in circles.

Hekate’s Wheel can be used for a variety of purposes, including divination, protection, and curse-breaking.

In conclusion, Hekate’s wheel is a symbol with a long and complex history. It can be interpreted in many different ways, depending on the culture and time period.

This small tidbit just touches the surface of this powerful symbol.

Ohhh

I like that this article explored some variations in the design- I’ll keep an eye out for the different types and styles!

Typically, Hecate style wheels have a Y in the middle compared to the commonly depicted X. This difference is because she is associated with the intersection of three roads as compared to the typical four road crossroads. However, there are also other symbols depicted at the center, such as stars.

Thank you for sharing, Medea!
