“I felt as if there were invisible threads connecting us - I felt the invisible strands of her hair still winding around me.”
Edvard Munch (1863 – 1944), Norwegian
This is where Hecate comes as Midwife. Often there were old women who knew herbs, prayers, chants that would make the experience easier for the birthing woman. Birthing requires comfort with pain, with blood & matter, and Hecate is not troubled by the sight of this.
Hecate is not in the Underworld (Subconscious) or in the Olympus, she stands between. Experienced & wise, she knows about life's sufferings & if we meet her during transitions, she will be understanding but will also not hide the Truth. She helps with our rebirth.
