Crossroads

Crossroads are a customary site of religious and magical significance. The Greek goddess of Witchcraft, Hecate was also the Goddess of the cross roads. This meaning is used metaphorically as a place where other things, both physical and abstract, meet. It was said that Hecate appeared on crossroads at midnight with spirits and howling dogs. Offerings were left at the crossroads for her. In Celtic it was tradition to sit at crossroads and listen for the howling of winds which would prophesy the year to come. Crossroads also represent the intersection of positive, neutral, and negative forces. It also is where pacts with the devils are made, selling your soul which is involved with hoodoo magic.
