Hecate.

Is a chthonic Greco-Roman goddess associated with magic, witchcraft, necromancy, and crossroads.Hecate also came to be associated with ghosts, infernal spirits, the dead and sorcery,images of Hecate were also placed at the gates of cities, and eventually domestic doorways.

Dogs were closely associated with Hecate in the Classical world. “In art and in literature Hecate is constantly represented as dog-shaped or as accompanied by a dog. Her approach was heralded by the howling of a dog. The dog was Hecate’s regular sacrificial animal, and was often eaten in solemn sacrament.”Hecate was associated with borders, city walls, doorways, crossroads and, by extension, with realms outside or beyond the world of the living. She appears to have been particularly associated with being ‘between’ and hence is frequently characterized as a “liminal” goddess
