Hecate's Dreams is a beautifully unique crystal skulls sculpture carved from a remarkable medium to light orange, translucent carnelian specimen from Brazil. Three crystal intricately detailed crystal skull faces are featured in this single piece sculpture, two with an open jaw singing crystal skull design. The shared dome of the sculpture has been opened through a network of holes and the interior hollowed.

Favored by Zeus, Hecate ruled over earth, sea, and sky, had control over storms, and bestowed her good will on those she deemed worthy, as well as retracting it from those who were undeserving, in the home, in war, and in games. Hecate was associated with the dog, the horse, and the serpent, as well as a three way crossroads where offerings were traditionally left to gain her favor and protection from spirits and evils. For the same protection, shrines to Hecate were placed at the doorways to homes and cities. Hecate helped Demeter when her daughter disappeared, and also accompanied Persephone on when she would go to and from the underworld, and is known as a protector and defender. Hecate is associated with witchcraft and sorcery, and also with spirits, ghosts, death, and the dead.
