Description

The Strophalos, or Hecate's wheel is an ancient Greek symbol, & is an emblem of the initiatory lunar Goddess Hecate (Diana Lucifera), & her triple aspect. Only one ancient source remains to shed any light on the emblem's meaning. The second century Alexandrian text known as the Chaldean oracle describes the emblem as a labyrinthine serpent (emblematic of rebirth) surrounding a spiral, symbolic of the Iynges - whirlings or emanations of divine thought. Today, it is generally used by practitioners of Hellenic Recon or Dianic Traditions of Wicca as an emblem of religious identification.
