Hekate is perhaps the darkest goddess or symbol of Greek prehistoric Archaeology. Hekate is everywhere: In space she is presented as the Moon, on Earth she is confused with Artemis and in Hades with Persephone. There are many versions of her origin. According to the prevailing one, Hekate was the daughter of Zeus and Asteria or Hera.
Hekate, daughter of Zeus As usually happens with Hekate, her parents gave her to the Nymphs to raise her. When she came of age she stole her mother’s box in which she had the ruby and the myrrh with which women exfoliated their faces and gave them to Europa, the mistress of Zeus. Since then she became very friendly with Europe and favored by Zeus. In fact, he sided with Zeus in the Titanomachy. From this fact, she drew the jealousy of Hera, who pursued her relentlessly. In order to hide, she went to the house of some lechona and as if this abomination was not enough, she also went to a funeral and followed the deceased to the cemetery. Because of this, she was considered “unclean” and that’s why Zeus asked her to go through “purification”. Hekati stayed in Hades
The angels were named by the Greeks. If the Christians boast that their religion invented the angels (Cherubim and Seraphim) with which they decorate the churches and the six wings, they are wrong because they come second. The daughter of Zeus and Hera Hecate was named the first angel by her parents. [Studying prehistory I notice that everything (names, place names, customs, lifestyle and historical origins) comes from the great ethnic group of the people of the Sea who inhabited the wider area of the Aegean-North Balkans, Asia Minor, the Middle East, Black Sea Pontus, North coast of the Mediterranean, south western Europe, then called Pelasgians, Minoans, Mycynaeans, Achaeans etc. from which the Greeks come. The name Greek is first coined by Homer]
Hekate was too brave so Zeus sent her to Hades to ask for Persephone. When she went to Hades, she stayed there with Persephone and was named Artemis, Phylax, Daduchos, Phosphorus, Ms. Chthonia (earthly). Because Zeus loved all women too much, it is said that Hekate was secretly born by Pherae through clepsygamy and he threw her into the triad o where they found her and gave her to the Nymphs to raise. As Hesiod writes poetically that Zeus out of favor gave her power in Heaven on Earth in the Sea and in Hades and those who honor and call upon her enjoy whatever they ask for i.e. wealth, glory, honor, victory, etc.
Aetis and Persis brothers We are also informed that Aetis from Corinth and later king of Colchis and Persis, sons of Helios, remained heirs of the paternal kingdom. Aetis in Colchis and up to Lake Maiotida and Persis in the Tauric Peninsula (South of Crimea) and he took as a wife Asteria or some other Nymph from the region and gave birth to Hecate, a woman of valor and hunting and barbarian who was engaged in hunting all day long. When there was no hunting, he would shoot people. She was also artistic and dealt with the effects of herbs. He often mixed these with the glutinous and offered them to the ignorant, thereby poisoning them. And she gained so much experience around the medicinal but also deadly property of herbs that she poisoned her father and she received his kingdom. He built a later temple of Artemis and she was the first to kill foreigners, sacrificing them to the goddess Artemis. This discredited her everywhere and she was unique for her brutality. After that, her uncle Aietis married her and from him she gave birth to the famous Kirkene and famous from the tragedies Medean and a son Aegialea. Because of her ability to handle medicinal herbs she gained great fame and was called the Goddess of Magic. and pharmacy. He stayed in Hades as a protector of the dead of those who stayed a hundred years outside of Hades, that’s why he was considered a dreamer and a specter, he sent to people wild and terrible dreams and specters called Hekatia. Odysseus built a temple for her in Sicily in order to free himself from bad dreams and fantasies. On Earth he was the protector of kingdoms, Councils, Markets, Trials, Wars, Poems, Fishermen, Horsemen and all human activities, but especially Magic.
She was a guardian of the houses and a nurse (she fed the babies) and they had her statue on the doors of the houses. When they sacrificed to another god, they also sacrificed in favor of Hecate because she was considered the domestic mediator and accomplice of the other gods. She was also called Brimo, a nickname that brought great deities such as Persephone, Demeter, but also Cybele.
Apollonius of Rhodes in the Argonauts, describing Medea’s preparation to make the potion that would help Jason face the bulls of Mars, states “Her black sap, like that of the mountain oak, he had collected in a shell from the Caspian to make a potion, after first bathing in seven inexhaustible streams and seven times calling on the nurse Brimo, the night wanderer, the catachthon, the queen of the dead. deity of the underworld, Hades.
She was painted three-headed, with the right head of a dog, the left of a horse and the middle of a wild hand. Otherwise, a single-headed woman with a crown of oak branches on her head (the generals wear oak wreaths in their lapels). She wore black or white dresses and a spear or rod in the hand holding a rod (generals in the past held a rod and despots still hold a crutch) She is often shown with a candle in her hands (this is where the Christians got the candle and the candle of the Resurrection) Sometimes she was depicted with three faces and six hands holding a candle or basket (perhaps the Eastern religions also copied their deities?) Finally, she was presented with a tricephalon with a crescent on one head, a hat on the other and a laurel wreath on the third (Even the crescent from the Greeks was taken by the Turks). They say that her height was half a stadia and the hairs on her head were dragons and one part was braided around the neck and another part was lying on the shoulders. He also had hair on his legs and looked like a hideous monster. Her three-headed shape refers to Heaven, Earth and Hades having a triple existence, or to the three phases of the Moon, Hekate was also a protector of childbirth. Today we have replaced her with the “goddess of Abortions” and the reluctance of Greek women to become mothers. Thus the most populous nation in antiquity today faces extinction if it does not take drastic recovery measures
COMMENTARY A sober and rational person from the study of the prehistoric deity can draw the following conclusions:
Firstly, the Greek nation was the most populous nation of the prehistoric era, centered on the Aegean and spread over Asia Minor, the Middle East, the Black Sea to the depths of the Mayotian lake, the Tauric region to Persia, the Balkans, the Mediterranean coast, Southern Italy , France, Spain, etc. Not only did we not take advantage of this, but we completely forgot about it due to a lack of education. Anyone who does not deal with Greek history and culture is considered far-right and fascist, Such paranoia!!
Secondly . The Greek nation was the cultural Beacon The only civilized nation in remote prehistoric times that traveled and transmitted civilization to barbarian peoples. In the strict sense of Civilization no other nation gave civilization with the exception of the Greeks
Thirdly. All the peoples copy them. Everything that the peoples pass on today is a copy from those ancient times. They did not invent anything new beyond the further development of the technological inventions of the ancient Greeks.
Fourthly, the Perisco nation has Greek roots like all the nations of the Black Sea and the Tauric region belonged to the same great ethnicity of the Proto-Greeks, Pelasgians, Achaeans, etc. which evolved over time and took on various names, but all of them belonged to the Greek world. And this because they had the same name, the same religion, the same language, and the same way. The Persians even under Cyrus received Greek Education. From the time of the proclamation of the Jewish general Mardonius (Mordecai) as regent of Persia and his harlot niece named “Aisthir” in the Persian Court, Persia changed its philhellenic policy and with the Jewish incitement started the campaigns against Greece.
Fifthly, We have forgotten the Hellenism of the Black Sea and Tauric. This is due on the one hand to the lack of education and on the other to our geopolitical positioning in the Western camp. Thus we forgot peoples with a common culture such as Russians, Ukrainians, Georgians, Armenians, Persians etc. and of course also the Greeks of Romania, Bulgaria, Skopje and the Muslim Greeks of Turkey and the wider area of the East. We forgot everything, even the Northern Epirus Community and Greek Cyprus. No other nation has suffered such amnesia.
Six Even the Scythians were Pelasgians The Scythians were a Pelasgian nation that remained in a barbaric state because it did not undergo cultural development. As Herodotus writes: “The leader of the Scythians says to the messenger of the Persians: I recognize only Zeus my forefather and Hestia the queen of the Scythians.” I recognize only Zeus my forefather and Hestia the queen of the Scythians. “Unfortunately our uneducated politicians unlike the Turks who are closely related to the Turkomans, and the British who do not abandon their Colonial Commonwealth we have forgotten the ancient co-ethnic peoples who were civilized by the Greeks and formed as nations by the Byzantines.
Seventh Hekate the goddess of the Black Sea She is the strange deity that the Greek world of the Black Sea developed according to its measures and for this reason it has an ambiguity, a triple identity, a strange form, complexity etc. Despite this, the Greeks accepted her as a goddess, even a minor one radiation and honored her with temples and altars and made her a patron in all their activities.
Eighth With these uneducated and fearful leaders we have reached the point where small and large countries around us have claims against us, while we who civilized them and created these countries claim nothing
PROPOSAL Greek Gathering – Expansion to the Ecumenical.
Greece and Hellenism, in order to be saved from its disappearance and to be revitalized, should dare the Hellenic Conspiracy – its expansion throughout the world. Its instruments are initially the ubiquitous Hellenism, regardless of religion, regime, geopolitical position, etc. This should take the form of a cultural campaign to spread the Greek Spirit and its Values. . This is not a geopolitical change of the country. Greece has made its choice and rightly belongs to the West because it is essentially the soul and heart of the West. With its cultural Gathering – Expansion. it will ideologically benefit the West, because the only opponent of Absolutism is the Greek Values (Democracy, Freedom, Independence, Secularism, Individual Rights, Freedom of Speech-Expression, etc.)
Let’s not expect such initiatives from the Greek state. Let the spiritual leaders of our Nation – especially the Homogenia – take a step forward and assume their responsibilities. The mission will be carried out by Greeks and Philhellenes everywhere. Our worst enemy in this effort will be the “state of Athens” as always. Today the means exist and we can create our own for the dissemination of Greek Values.
Our initiative will put a barrier and save the decadent and morally and culturally disintegrated West, which considers money as its only value and marches against Natural Law, Logic and timeless Values, with the imposition of inhuman Loatski stupid monsters and vile nonsense of empty minds of a small oligarchy of wealth and decadence.
