Let’s talk keys. Hekate as the Keybearer gets a lot of offerings of modern keys, skeleton keys, and I have those too, but these are keys of the variety that the ancient world would’ve recognized. The teeth on the hooked end moved the tumblers and allowed the lock to turn. They were easily overcome, most of them. They had a variety of shapes, materials, and sizes, with temple keys being heavy ceremonial objects. Last year, I commissioned a friend I trust and adore, to make these simple household keys for my shrine, and they’re among my most prized pieces.
