she's also my wife but you didn't mention that part

>>45789664
She doesn't like it when that comes up in a conversation for some reason.

Blue and Yellow Heca restraining you and Red Heca punching you until you agree to wear the t-shirt

Blue and Yellow Heca restraining you and Red Heca raping you until you shoot dry orgasms into her

Hecatia is a virgin goddess. That's super hot.

>>45789613
Alright, but the real question is what her winter fit would look like.

>>45790015
Yes! You get it too. It's very cool and hip!

>>45789879
>>45789890
Against all of /jp/, Hecatia hardly needs to employ all her bodies. 1 will be more than enough to establish her dominance over Anon. Perhaps if she's feeling whimsical that day.

tasty planets

How would she be as a mother

>>45791090
Silly LoLK Marisa is too strong

Last night I dreamed of cuddling with Hecatia
Now I feel dead inside

>>45791534
Extremely hot and cringe at the same time

>>45789613
disagree, she prevent the most magnificient beings from enlightening the filthy earth

All glory to Hecatia – our savior!

would touching Hecatia's butt then following up immediately with a compliment about her t-shirt be enough to calm her wrath?

>>45798529
Only if you are Junko or Zeus-kun

This but its Yellow Heca raping me until i shoot dry orgasms into her. She also lets me worship her feet. God I love blonde moon Heca...

>>45798529
You wouldn't even need to bring up the shirt. Hell is a place where everyone does whatever they want with complete disregard for everyone else, and Hecatia is the poster girl of such behavior.
Grabbing a nice ass or spontaneously fondling someone's balls is just a friendly greeting, as far as she's concerned.
As long as you don't do something stupid like calling her fat or claiming she has a "Hank Hill ass", you'll be fine.

>>45806471
I''d channel my inner Trump and GRAB HER BY THE PUSSY then kiss her on her lips. Also she certainly does not have a ''Hank Hill'' as in that image.

>>45806471
no, it's a place where the strong do what they want, and heca's the strongest
(You) doing anything to her without her permission is just asking for a beating

>>45806522
Based but dangerous, anon.
That's how you end up having all your semen squeezed out by a divine ass.
>>45806549
Saying stuff like that is how you get Earth Hecatia to spam nerd emojis at you.

>>45806604
>That's how you end up having all your semen squeezed out by a divine ass.
That's the plan. I want her to put me in her place using her sexy body and turn me into a devout worshiper.

>>45806604
if earth heca thinks you're a nerd she'll make it her duty to correct you

TRIPLE PAIZURI

TRIPLE PAIZURI
My wife Hecatia is a virgin goddess, so sex is NG, but paizuri is perfectly fine

>>45806612
Just make sure you won't die, anon. Many men before you have suffered the tragic fate of having their life squeezed out literally by Heca-chan's mighty asshole.
>>45806704
Well, obviously the goal is to frustrate them until they lose their temper and fuck her tits, but tragically, it rarely seems to work out that way. Too many cowards these days.

>>45807133
Imagine being one of the countless men not worthy enough of her pussy, but deserving of her mighty asshole...

>>45807182
She's a virgin goddess, anon. She'll never allow anyone in her front hole, and she's so strong that not even Hermes could take it by force, so she'll remain a pure maiden forevermore.

>>45807210
Given how horny Zeus-kun is, im surprised that she didnt lose her virginity. Is she strong enough to fight even him off?

>>45807223
he was, and I'm being serious here, a massive heca simp
he never tried to fuck her, reassured her that he wouldn't try and take anything that she already had, and gave her more stuff on top of that

>>45807230
Hahaha! Imagine how pissed he would be if some random anon somehow got her virgintiy ...hahaha

>>45807230
How good of a waifu do you have to be for Zeus of all people to simp for you? Damn.

>>45807223
>And [Asteria] conceived and bore Hecate whom Zeus the son of Cronos honored above all. He gave her splendid gifts, to have a share of the earth and the unfruitful sea. She received honor also in starry heaven, and is honored exceedingly by the deathless gods. For to this day, whenever any one of men on earth offers rich sacrifices and prays for favor according to custom, he calls upon Hecate. Great honor comes full easily to him whose prayers the goddess receives favorably, and she bestows wealth upon him; for the power surely is with her. For as many as were born of Earth and Ocean amongst all these she has her due portion. The son of Cronos did her no wrong nor took anything away of all that was her portion among the former Titan gods: but she holds, as the division was at the first from the beginning, privilege both in earth, and in heaven, and in sea.
Zeus thought his cousin with the unique shirt was super cool, basically. Unlike most of the other gods, she didn't really have a specific domain she was lord and master of, but got a little bit of everything, instead, putting her everywhere and nowhere all at once. She's also genuinely nice, as seen with stuff like her helping Demeter look for her daughter after Hades abducted her. Maybe Junko reminds her of that.
It's honestly funny how much Hesiod shills her despite not being all that important to the mythology. She's like an ancient Mary Sue.
>Once, Hermes chased Hecate (or Persephone) with the aim to rape her; but the goddess snored or roared in anger, frightening him off so that he desisted, hence her earning the name "Brimo" ("angry").
Also, the Olympians *really* didn't want to make her angry. Zeus-kun probably knew better than to push his luck.

>>45797700
I love how she painted her. Very pretty. Would hang it in my living room

>>45807223
Zeus-kun flop to Apostle Saint Paul and couldn't bring victory to Julian the apostate. Mesugaki Heca-tan sure had seen his defeat
had seen his defeat.

>>45807548
Wow that's cool. She's powerful, cute and nice! I want her as my aunty! I didn't know that she was THAT strong. Hecatia is also weirdly in charge of the Ministry of Right and Wrong a Buddhist/Shinto afterlife organization managing Hells. Dont know what ZUN was going for there but I guess it makes her more interesting.
>>45807738
Eww, don't randomly talk about uggo jewish/hebrew lore. We were talking about Hellenism. Zeus is Zeus, simple as. Also you type weird, are you ok?

>>45808631
she's not got anything to do with the Minisitry
>Currently, Hell is being managed by the Kishin and the rest, but I was never a part of that society. I guess you'd call me an outlaw. The more confident you are in your strength, the more you independence you have. In other words, I'm super-strong.
there was a mistranslation in the fairy manga where Hecatia calls her one of her organization's leaders, but the original text just says she's a leader and doesn't specific what she's a leader of

>>45808666
Interesting. Also her saying ''I'm super strong'' is just plain adorable. Even if its true.

>>45808688
Meant to say ''even though it's true''.

>>45808666
I always found it funny how ZUN decided that, out of everyone, this dork should be the strongest.
I imagine it's meant to show how gods who are still relevant to this day can still hold on to great strength despite their worship being largely gone, that's why he chose a Greek deity, the most culturally impactful "dead" religion. This would also explain her... odd fashion sense, her form and style changing to be more "pop culture" rather than object of worship.
But who knows, it is also possible ZUN just wanted to do the "silly person is the strongest in the verse" cliché, thus killing all power level shit for the best.

>>45808908
>show how gods who are still relevant to this day can still hold on to great strength despite their worship being largely gone
This puts to bed the notion that faith is needed for a god to be strong.
>But who knows, it is also possible ZUN just wanted to do the "silly person is the strongest in the verse" cliché, thus killing all power level shit for the best.
This guy probably doesnt know anything about that sort of thing, so he wouldnt have a raging hate boner for it. Besides that how does it ''kill power level shit'' anyway? She's just a character who was introduced and changed the setting so people adjusted accordingly. I mean she isnt even the only sillyhu anyway. Suika is a massive goof ball who can pull black holes out of her ass, fuck up most of the named characters and is one of the big four.

>>45808666
To be fair, this isn't just a translation thing. Even the Japanese present Hecatia as being Eiki's boss pretty often, though it's mostly for gags.
Personally, I view her as more of a distant landlord. The Ministry shows a significant amount of respect for her as the ostensible overseer of the hells in general, but mostly because they fear pissing her off, and they're not actually subordinate to her. Since Hecatia herself isn't interested in ruling anyone and just lets everyone do as they please, it all works out well for everyone, at least until some schmuck mistakes her permissive attitude for spinelessness or is dumb enough to reject a request she makes of them and is promptly given a lesson on the real power in hell.

>>45807548
Can all her bodies actually interact with each other like this, or do they just exist in different dimensions?

>>45809796
we know she can switch them between each other's present location, and they seem to be in the same dimension because it's blue heca who takes clownpiece to gensokyo according to the illustration on one of the VFiS releases and according to the artist
so since you can physically go to both hell and the moon from gensokyo it must be possible to meet her other bodies at the same time

nobody is grateful about hecatia protecting us from the tyranny of the lunarians, i have lost faith in humanity

>>45809796
In Reimu's Extra she acts as if she can bring in her other bodies and turn the fight into a four-on-one, refraining mostly because Junko thinks it would be unfair, so it's fair to assume that all Hecas can coexist in the same world at the same time, even if they haven't been shown as such in Touhou yet.

The biggest problem with Hecatia is the distinct lack of reverse gangbang porn involving her.

Like, her main gimmick is being three chicks at the same time; why wouldn't you want to exploit that for all it's worth?
It's like doing Shinmyoumaru porn where she's normal-sized. What would even be the point?

Also, red Hecatia is overused and generally just used as the default when all Hecatias are equally valid.
I'm glad that Hirasaka usually uses Earth Hecatia instead because she's really cute, even if giving her boots is obviously a grave sin.

>>45815865
I just want triple paizuri

>>45816089
Triple Paizuri is also good, yes, but it would be even better if one of the Hecas sits on my face at the same time.
At any rate, Hecatia is very sexy and deserves to be pleasured by human men.

She's so powerful they named an anti-materiel sniper rifle after her.

>>45815865
I'm quite a blonde heca fan
also in the mythology, her three faces were that of a young maiden (representing the virgin), a mother, and a crone (representing the witch) so I like to imagine that the three bodies have slightly different personalities, with yellow heca being the virgin (it just seems right to me that the blonde one is the most genki) and blue heca being the crone (though I just take that as making her more mature)

I heccing love her

>>45809847
Because Lunarians aren't 'tyrannical', save for the (rightfully dead) dipshit that killed Junko's son, whose wife is... guess what? In jail. Get your lore straight, Anon.

>>45820951
>Because Lunarians aren't 'tyrannical'
Oh? Then tell me, what happened to Okuninushi again?

>>45821092
She ended up in a wheelchair, but I believe that the moonies weren't involved.

>>45821166
Don't talk to me about that fraud. The Lunarians greatly wronged the actual Okuninushi, and they clearly don't even feel the least bit guilty about it.

I want Doomguy to beat up and defeat this weird t-shirt dork Hell goddess in order to save the moon bunnies from her cringe.

>>45821508
Nah, Doomguy would team up with Hecatia and Junko to free the moon rabbits from their evil slave drivers.

>>45821360
They were just trying to unite grorious nippon-koku. Besides, Okuninushi's son was a hothead they had to deal with.
>>45821676
>evil slave drivers
I suppose you aren't referring to that one dork who allows her bunnies to slack off and plays little games with invaders she could easily kill?

>>45822288

>>45822321
Curious, that's not what Reimu saw at all. And given how we know that Reisen deserted during a literal non-war, I'm inclined to think that she's being over-dramatic in those panels.

>>45822321
Yes, we SHOULD believe the one spoiled rabbit who was the pet of the two most kind Lunarians, who also enjoyed punishing her fellow rabbits and ran away at the first sign of danger, leaving them for supposed death, only to use her newfound freedom to keep serving ANOTHER Lunarian master.
But we should trust her because she is bnuuy.

>>45822573
Dumb bunny unable to take the hints from her loving mistresses. She truly deserves her fate as Junko's unwilling sex toy.

>>45822573
What... what happened inside the punishment room that has her so... hum... galvanized?

>>45822946
watatsuki's had her torturing rabbit dissidents and traitors

>>45822954
That still doesn't explain her excitement... unless...

>>45822954
The sisters are extremely kind and forgiving to anyone who does wrong:
-When a man ended up in the moon by accident they refused to kill him despite Eirin's recommendations, choosing instead to keep him and protect him.
-Rei'sen escaped the moon and when she came back the sisters received her with open arms.
-They refuse to do their job and hunt Eirin down to the point they worry the other Lunarians may think they're traitors.
-When invaded they let the responsible party go with no repercussions.
So it doesn't make sense for them to order punishment, which leads us to the only possible explanation that Reisen participated in the punishment out of her own wishes.

really?

>>45823065
Everything about the sisters? Yes, plainly stated. The bit about Reisen participating in punishment? A safe assumption considering how much she seemed to enjoy kicking that door.
When people complain about fanon depictions they always mention stuff about Tenshi or Flandre or Momiji and such, but never the whitewashing of Udonge by either ignoring leaving her allies to die or trying to pass her as some war veteran despite the fact she has never fought in any war and was probably the most well kept rabbit in the Capital, and now the punishments.
This useless bunny who is only good for her sex appeal needs to be punished.

>>45823204
I don't like CDS Reisen

>>45821676
Well then the obvious solution would be for Doomguy to free the moon buns, train those willing to become super badass soldiers, and then beat up the weird t-shirt aunt and her angry fox mom fren. Clownpiece getting clobbered would be the cherry on top of course.

>>45823204
Ah, great. Even more reasons not to bother with canon, just fuck my shit up.

>>45823053
Look what you said is true but also remember that these moon babes could randomly chimp out. Like when Toyohime threatened to atomize an entire forest because it was ''impure''. Imagine living in the woods and you and every life form and inanimate object gets wiped off the face of the earth as if the forest you were set piece in a Dragon Ball fight. All because an admittedly hot moon girl had period cramps and decided to take out her anger on the forest you lived in. Also don't forget how big of an asshole Eirin is and her being a co-founder of the Capital. There's no way her asshole tendencies didnt trickle down to most of Lunarian society.

can you guys get back to talking about cute hell goddesses instead of useless moon bunnies?

>>45827457
Yeah we are getting a bit off track here aren’t we? I still think Doomguy should beat up this funny Greek goddess though even if bunnies aren’t involved. But what else did you or others want to talk about if not that?

>>45827457
That's just how things are, anon. You'll never be able to escape the Lunarians and their simps trying to undermine any and all threads for this incredibly lewd virgin goddess.

I fucking hate Hecatia so much. I'd tell her that her shirt fucking sucks to her face.

>>45827727

>>45827695
Am I not allowed to like Hecatia and the mary sue sisters at the same time?

>>45827893
Not in this thread. Here we express our love for the charming and incredibly erotic goddess of three hells.

Good thing we stopped discussing other things and focused on our goddess, the thread is truly alive and ripe with interaction just on her own!

>>45830989
Thinking about how to promote Hecatia to the unwashed masses of /jp/...
Could we compile something like a list of official appearances and essential Hecatia fanworks?

>>45831607
Commission artists or generate really good sexual images of Heca. Could be porn but this is a gay blue board so just make it borderline porn and give her good proportions and good sized ass, tits and thighs. Psyop these fools via their cocks. Icing on the cake is you making the images funny or memorable.

>>45831637
I’ve commed a piece of her that could possibly fly on even a blue board. But it’s a fetishy crossover image so I’m not sure if people would be receptive to it.

>>45833535
Sounds cool. I'd like to see, if you're inclined to share it.

>>45833551
Alright but don't say I didn't warn you and others.

>>45834272
Well, you did warn us.
Good job, though.
What other images should we get commissioned?

>>45808631
What Is strange is that the Romans turned their back on their own gods and embraced the Greek gods. The Etruscan gods such as Usil, Lur and Catha forgotten and replaced by the Greek gods.

>>45807548
Zeus was also scared of Hecatia's mom Nyx.
Her brother Hypnos pissed off Zeus and was protected by Nyx.

Homer, in the Iliad, relates a story in which Nyx saves Hypnos from the anger of Zeus. When Hera comes to Hypnos and attempts to persuade him into lulling Zeus to sleep, he refuses, reminding her of the last time she asked the same favour of him, when it had allowed her to persecute Heracles without her husband's knowledge. Hypnos recounts that once Zeus awoke, he was furious, and would have hurled him into the sea, had he not fled to the protection of Nyx, as Zeus, despite his anger, was "in awe of doing anything to swift Night's displeasure".

Nyx is often difficult to identify, as she lacks a specific defined appearance because she is a primordial god and even older than the titians who birth the Greek gods.

>>45834285
Thanks, I hope you or others get some kind of enjoyment out of it too. My first thought would honestly be more size stuff of Hecatia but that's just my immediate biases coming into play. For something more normal and neutral and maybe even blue board postable, I guess Hecatia could give some occult nerd guy a boobhat or something for one idea.

>>45834272
Feeeeet oh gods I wish i were doomslayer in that image!!
>>45834377
>What Is strange is that the Romans turned their back on their own gods and embraced the Greek gods. The Etruscan gods such as Usil, Lur and Catha forgotten and replaced by the Greek gods.
Thats weird. Didn't know that. Also I did NOT know that Nyx is Hecatia's mommy.

>>45834377
Nyx being Hecate's mother is kind of a minority view though, isn't it? She's usually viewed as the offspring of Perses and Asteria, who were themselves immediate children of two Titan couples; or sometimes Hecate's the offspring Zeus and Asteria, giving her a pretty typical parentage for the greek gods.

On another note, I see people here refer to Hecatia as a Titaness sometimes, but I dunno if mythological sources ever refer to her as such. The "Titan" label is applied pretty nebulously outside of Cronus and his siblings (not including the Hecatoncheires or Cyclopes), but while figures like Prometheus and Atlas were considered Titans most of the time, and Helios sometimes, others weren't, like Zeus and his siblings, despite also being descended from them.

>>45831607
Clean girl vs stinky girl. Woman who showers vs woman who doesnt shower.

>>45835485
Heh, I’m glad you like the image. Hecatia is a perfect giantess and a bully to play with Doomguy. I’m surprised and disappointed there isn’t more size art of her and I was even thinking of possible followups with her and the slayer here. But yeah, big Hecc feets playing with a tiny demon hunter.

I can’t believe we’re about to let Hecatia’s thread die early like this. Shameful display.

>>45842377
Letting the feet goddess' thread die? Shamefur dispray!

>>45843481
Yeah she’s too cool to let that happen.

Hecatia is about to be killed. Again. I guess those darn Lunarians really are better.

>>45851454
Heca threads just need a hook like moonie threads have with muh earth cock and astronaut spam
dork goddess just isn't cutting it anymore

>>45851460
Damn. You’d think with her totally hip t-shirt and tri-colored skirt she would be down with da kidz. I guess she really is just a dork like Youmu or Chimata.

>>45851460
her friend's pretty fun too

わよん

What does wayon mean anyways? It seems to be like her catchphrase or something.

>>45854544
it means i'm gonna find my way-on to kill all l*narians

It's the opposite of way-off.

>>45851460
>Muh earth cock and astronaut spam
Oh god please dont ruin these Heca threads. Those chuckle fucks stopped being funny so long ago.

>>45854544
It's like "da ze", but hip and feminine instead of crude and masculine, y'know?

Auntie

>>45851460
We could pivot to "sex goddess" threads easily if she gave up on that whole "virgin, dork goddess" gimmick, but alas

Greek gods are known to be very horny and will abduct you if you catch their fancy.

Endymion was the mortal lover to Selene and Adonis was the mortal lover to Aphrodite and Persephone.
Tithonus was the mortal lover of Eos.
Calypso and Odysseus is another example
But the male Greek gods will take you too if they find you attractive like Hyacinthus with Apollo and Ganymede by Zeus to serve as Zeus's cup-bearer
Also there is the very high chance that the male Greek gods will kill you for having an affair with a Greek goddess.

Calypso says, “You unrivalled lords of jealousy— scandalized when goddesses sleep with mortals.” Which is Calypso complaining to Hermes about the double standard of how male gods get to take mortal lovers, but goddesses aren't allowed to and get punished if they do.

Artemis wanted to marry Orion but Apollo disapproves and tricks her into killing him.
Ares kills Adonis
Zeus curses Endymion to sleep forever.
Tithonus got cursed with immortality without eternal youth then Eos out of pity turned him into a cicada.

The Greek gods and goddesses make attempts to ruin plans of other gods for the purpose of achieving their own goals.

Aphrodite, Goddess of love, explains that Hippolytus has sworn chastity and refuses to revere her. Instead, he honours the Goddess of the hunt, Artemis. This has led Aphrodite to initiate a plan of vengeance on Hippolytus.
Artemis as the goddess of chastity rejects to protect her human lover Hippolytus. As opposed to numerous examples of divine lovers who protected their favourites and interfered in the earth affairs, Artemis decides to take revenge on Aphrodite who kills her lover in future by killing Aphrodite’s next mortal favorite.

So, there is the chance other Greek goddess will kill you out of jealousy or revenge.

>>45858692
Sounds like Heca-tan will need to keep an eye on you at all times.
One of her bodies will stay with you at all times. While you're eating, while you're bathing, while you're sleeping... You just cannot be too safe when dealing with the Olympians.
No need to worry about the times when you really gotta relieve yourself, either. Hecatia will always be ready to give you a paizuri when you need it.
So there's no need to worry, the Goddess of Hell has it all worked out.

Oh a thread about our favorite Indo-European goddess? Sign me in! I have lot of stuff to tell about her.

Nursing handjob doesn't count as sex.

>>45867670
It also doesn't count as sex if the dick doesn't penetrate the hymen.
Short Penis Kings stay winning.

I know rejecting this virgin goddess’s advances would likely lead to terrible outcomes, but a curious, morbid, and somewhat masochistic part of me wants to know what would happen.

>>45862967
I'm all ears.
I think education about her lore prior to her coming to Gensokyo could benefit us all.

>>45872327
Alright, here you go! Enjoy the trivia about Hecate the multifaced goddess of witchcraft, boundaries, moon, magic, crossroads, etc. :)

Hecate was a goddess of boundaries and “in between” spaces. In the physical world this could mean anything from doorways to city walls and state borders.

Like Hermes, who was also a deity of liminal spaces, statues of Hecate were often placed at crossroads and borders. She was often shown holding two torches, such as would be found beside gates, to allow her to illuminate both sides of a boundary.

One of these was the boundary between life and death. To the Greeks this meant not only the moment at which the soul crossed between those to states, but also to a literal place.

Hecate was believed to be a goddess of both the living world and the underworld. She is often pictured holding keys because, as the goddess of boundaries, she held the power to open and close the doors to the realm of Hades.

This made her one of the few deities to have the power to move freely between the world of the living and the underworld. Not only could she move between the realms, but she had power to control the passage of others.

Even in her origin, Hecate moved between two places. She was born into the world ruled by the Titans, but continued to be influential and powerful in the Olympian pantheon.

Next trivia about Hecate coming soon, please wait warmly. :)

Now it's yuro's economy who entered the realm of fantasy. "Let's us all return to nothing!"

>>45789613

Why the choker

>>45789613
you cunts are siding with an infernal bitch that revels in having people fall down in hell, she must be vanquished as soon as possible so that people no longer live in fear of sinning

>>45878383
They think with their dicks.
Horny is all they are.

>>45878383
On the one hand, bad folks should be punished for the horrible things they do.
On the other hand, destroying Hell and her by extension would mean fighting and obliterating evil.
Fuck it, send Doomguy after her.

>>45878439
The police will do that, humans must dominate everything, including the afterlife system

>>45878383
Sinning is bad, anon.

>>45878673
I don’t know how cops are supposed to do that.

>>45873570
Something that's been on my mind ever since reading this post:
Is/was Hecate the primary goddess of these things?
For example, if a Shinigami wants to drag someone from this world and into the afterlife, does she have to invoke Hecate (either directly or through some artifact) to open the way, or are there other gods that'd be more frequently invoked?

>>45880576
No, Hecate is not a primary goddess of those things unlike Hades and Thanatos.

Hecate have a bit of everything as a goddess of multiple aspects.

But the Shinigamis dosen't need to invoke Hecate to travel to the afterlife as it's a part of thier abilities and job. The greek version of the shinigami should be Charon the ferryman, son of Eberu, primordial god of darkness and Nyx,
primordial goddess of night. It's could make him a half-brother of Hecate if you believe than Hecate's mother is Nyx.

Charon served as a psychopomp, or a guide to the dead. Sometimes accompanied by Hermes, he took the souls of the dead into the Underworld.

To cross into the realm of Hades, the souls had to go across the River Acheron. The only way to safely do so was on Charon’s ferry.

Because of his role in transporting souls to the afterlife, Charon was depicted often in ancient Greek art. Funerary vases often show scenes of the dead stepping onto Charon’s boat as their last action in the mortal realm.

These images often show Charon in the guise of a human boatman. He has a rough, unkempt appearance including a long, thick beard.

While later Greek art made some attempts at making the ferryman a more welcoming figure, the prevailing image of Charon was as an unrefined character. In contrast with the more noble Olympians, he appeared to be unattractive and unclean.

This may be due, in part, to the conditions associated with the Underworld. Entrances to the realm of the dead were sometimes said to be marked by foul odors and noxious vapor.

In Rome, Charon appeared to be an even less welcoming figure.

The Etruscans associated him with one of their own chthonic gods. He took on many of this god’s attributes including graying skin, tusks, a hooked nose, and a heavy mallet in his hands.

In literature, Charon appears in most scenes in which a hero enters the realm of the dead.

He ferried Odysseus, Heracles, Orpheus, Psyche, and others across the river. In some accounts, even Hermes and Persephone rode in his ferry during their trips in and out of the realm of Hades.

One of the most enduring legends of Charon was that a coin was needed to pay the ferryman for the journey. A person would be buried with a coin, most often in their mouths but occasionally over their eyes, to pay Charon for his service.

In truth, however, this practice was not widespread in ancient Greece. The idea of Charon taking payment for the journey was introduced late in antiquity and was never as widespread as some modern literature portrays it.

Instead, the most important thing to ensure Charon would take a soul across the Acheron was a proper burial.

If a body was not buried, the person’s soul would not be allowed passage on Charon’s ferry. They would be doomed to wander aimlessly, haunting the living until they were given a proper burial.

But miss Hecate could deny your travel, redirect you or make your travel easier depending on how she felt, greek gods and goddess are incredible lunatics and they are subject to mood swings terribly quicky.

To resume everything ; No, a Shinigami dosen't need to invoke Hecate or a another god like Mr Hades. But if they manage to get in her bad side or she's is just angry for whatever reason, the travel could end very badly.

>Fuck it, send Doomguy after her.
A-anon...I... >>45834272

>>45884339
…
Okay he just needs a power up to beat this giant barefoot Hot Topic virgin dork goddess. It’s not over for Doomguy yet.

>>45884614
I dont know if that would work. Her are so pretty and stinky and powerful this might be the end of him ...

>>45884614
Doomguy lost to Master Chief tho...

>>45884912
He can defeat Hecatia and her dumb feet. He just needs like an Invulnerability or Quad Damage sphere or even both and that weird giant aunt hag is donezo. The Slayer cannot lose to her gorramit.

>>45884932
Yeah that was Doomguy. Doomslayer on the other hand can do this shit. Hell maybe they can join up to tag-team this awful infernal deity?

>>45884993
Nah it's over... Also Hecatia isn't responsable of people falling in hell but it's the "Ministary of the Right and Wrong". (even the name is lame lol.)
For Hecatia. Hell isn't like you imagine it, burning, torturing and shit. But Hell is the land of the free when the strong can truly be free. If you want someone to blame and send the Mister Chief and totally not Spess Muhreen guy to someone? Send it into the Ministary of Right and Wrong. You will do a favor to everyone.

>>45885077
Semper fi never say die, mister. You make a good enough point however so the funny hat god will be spared teh Slayah’s wrath along with his possible co-op buddy for now. So off to this Right and Wrong place they will go and they won’t be there to bribe them with monies.

Off topic but I find it amusing that the Greeks introduced Buddhism to Asia and even were the reason it spread throughout Asia (war of heavenly horses) and
the first anthropomorphic representations of the Buddha himself are often considered a result of the Greco-Buddhist interaction. Before this innovation, Buddhist art was "aniconic": the Buddha was only represented through his symbols (an empty throne, the Bodhi Tree, Buddha footprints, the Dharmachakra).
Greeks were the first to attempt a sculptural representation of the Buddha.
Even Hercules was made a protector of Buddha.

>>45885481
Uhhh wasnt it the indians that did that? Do you mean the entirety of asia?

>>45886564
No, the Hindus kept beating them in debates and there was a lot of Hindu- Buddhist conflicts.
It's why Buddhism is only at 0.7% in India today. Buddhism isn't even at 1% in India.

>>45886659
Pajeets can't separate themselves form thier basics impluses so it's normal than Buddhism isn't popular.

>>45887531
And interestingly it's popular in Japan...

Yes.

Ha, looks like doomguy doesn’t have to do anything to beat this infernal weirdo with the way her precious thread is going.

>>45897850
It's no good to attach undue importance to the thread of your favorite characters. You're artificially inflating the speed of the board by bumping threads like this, and I don't think Hecatia cares if her thread dies.

>>45897902
Fair enough. Can’t force interest even if I would prefer to see Hecatia and her thread live. Still had to try in my own way.

>>45897902
Please don't speak of Hecatia and artificially inflating things in the same sentence.

>>45898686
Heca-chan is all natural, after all. She's too much of a true to herself dork to not be

I want to call Hecatia "nee-chan".

>>45901023
As long as it's not "auntie".

I think there's a real neat angle of Hecate being a goddess of boundaries and borders which are a reoccurring subject in Touhou.

>>45903470
I want to see Yukari go up against Hecatia only to get completely no-sold due to Hecatia's vastly superior experience and power over boundaries.

>>45903470
Lady Hecate is not only a Goddess of boundaries and borders but one of witchcraft, magic, necromancy and poisons as well.

It is unclear exactly when Hecate became so closely linked with magic and witchcraft. Hesiod, for example, seemed to hold in in high regard and makes no mention of this darker association.

It has been suggested that the idea of magic coming from Hecate was an evolution of the many gifts she was capable of bestowing upon her favorites. The blessings she gave them were eventually seen as magic, while prayers were seen as incantations.

Her association with dark magic is also tied to her identification as an underworld goddess. As one of the deities capable of passing between realms, she had access to the secrets of the dead.

Moving between the barrier between life and death explains Hecate’s connection to both ghosts and necromancy. Controlling who moved through the border between the earth and the underworld gave her a unique power to summon spirits and raise the dead.

In a few cases, Hecate was said to have shared these powers with her most devoted followers. The most famous witch in Greek mythology received her knowledge of magic from Hecate.

Medea’s magic was often described as having to do with necromancy, sleep, and the night. It was said that she learned herbalism and spells from Hecate herself.

Several times, authors make a connection between Medea’s use of magic, both harmful and protective, and her worship of Hecate. They were so closely linked that Hecate was referred to as Medea’s mother in some later texts, although earlier ones had said she was the child of an Oceanid.

Even in descriptions of Medea’s witchcraft, it is difficult to distinguish magical rituals from more standard worship and rites.

Many of the rituals described in ancient texts, for example the elaborate sacrifice of a ewe in Argonautica, are in keeping with what is known about the worship of other deities of the underworld.

Hecate, however, is routinely described as the goddess of witchcraft and associated with characters like Medea and Circe, the witch of Homer’s Odyssey. As a cthonic goddess of the underworld, her rituals and rites were often associated with death and secrecy.

Yup, I love speaking about Hecate. Since she is one of my favorite goddess in the greek pantheon.

>>45905771
She's so cool. I didn't know she used to hang out with Medea. Medea is cool to. Fuck Jason NTR bitchboy deserved it. The kids are in a better place with aunt Hecc in hell.

>>45908825
Lady Hecate is also kind of linked to Apollo by their names and as the time, some scholars of ancient Greek religion have noted that Apollo was occasionally given the name Hecatos, which they interpret to mean “one who reaches far.” These academics believe that Hecate, therefore, may have once been another name for Apollo’s twin sister, Artemis.

Knowing on how Apollo is beautiful, you can easily imagine how Hecate being also a stunning beauty. Since in a Greek point of view they almost share the same name.

>>45905771
You know need to put an empty line after every sentence, y'know? Turning everything into a paragraph of its own just makes it harder to read.

>>45930325
Shit, My bad.
