Anon, it's a fake cover. There is no doujinshi.

>Circe
Circe, Scylla, Medea and all the other priests/priestesses of her religion are just her adopted children, so it's fine.

Why is the Hec so perfect? She makes all the other Olympians look bad.

Not unless you like being stabbed, burned, and whipped.

The items frequently associated with Hecatia are the torch, knife, and whip.

The torch can represent knowledge or guidance, as well as illumination and safety. She lights the way for her faithful and guides them toward salvation, protecting and revealing those that wish to do harm before they can do the deed.

The knife isn't just a malicious symbol, but also can represent her nature as a goddess of child-bearing, wherein the knife would be used to cut the umbilical cord from the newborn infant, serving as both a representation of life and death as a result.

The whip can represent torture and has been used in self-flagellating rituals such as in those worshiping Cybele, whom Hecatia is often syncretized with, and in the worship of Artemis where men would flagellate themselves or each other in blood-letting rituals, whom Hecatia would sometimes be syncretized with as well in various regions of Greece. It can also represent domestication and could further reinforce her status as a liminal goddess as the whip has long been used as a tool to separate the wheat from the chaff, and so too would she separate those indulged in the secrets of her cults from those who cannot understand or refuse her grace.
