	Hecate is MEANT to be frightening.... SOMETIMES. To SOME people, 
especially those who would hurt children. Otherwise, she is meant to be 
feared for her Chaotic and unpredictable nature. Just like Kali, she is 
not seen as a benevolent deity, but that does NOT mean she is purely evil. 
Both Kali and Hecate are elemental in their nature, meaning that they do 
not act towards or against the betterment of mankind, rather towards 
something totally different.
