Good news everyone I figured out how to download video from twitter, so here’s Hekate’s cat transformation

Hecate is a goddess of more independent character, however often she was equated with Artemis from the fifth century onwards. In the iconography she is generally pictured as the same lithe virgin with short chiton, except that instead of the bow she carries torches -- though these may be taken over by Artemis also. Hecate is the goddess of pathways, Enodia, especially of cross-roads and of the offerings laid down there; the triple-form figure of Hecate arose from the three masks which were hung at the meeting of three pathways. The pathways of Hecate are pathways of the night; accompanied by barking dogs, she leads a ghostly retinue. Hecate is also goddess of the moon and of the moon-conjuring witches of Thessaly, such as the dreaded sorceress Medea. Here secret society rituals are reflected. In the journey to Hades in the tale of the rape and return of Persephone Hecate is also at hand. Hecate seems to have her roots among the Carians of Asia Minor; her most important sanctuary is Lagina, a temple state of oriental type where there are also sacred eunuchs. The theophoric name Hekatomnos, which is non-Greek in formation, is also Carian. Hesiod's family, which came from Aeolian Cumae, seems to have been especially devoted to Hecate; the Theogony contains a Hymn to Hecate which accords the goddess a portion of honour in all domains of the world.

Finally took Sapphire out of her box. A little disappointed to find parts of her outfit damaged already but I guess that’s to be expected with a 13 year old doll.
