The Gods Lady Hecate

Is Lady Hecate a personal Goddess, or is she more of an allegorical concept like Athena and Cronos?

I don’t think Athena or Cronos are only allegorical concepts, and I personally believe Hecate relates to Astarte, but it hasn’t been officially confirmed.

Athena has already been said to relate to Astarte, I think Cronos (and this is just a guess) relates to Lord Baalzebul.

Here you go:

Going according to mythologies, Hecate would be Erishkegal.

Cronos relates to Saturnian energy and to Baalzebul's conquering of time and being beyond time.
In that sense, He is an allegorical energy or primordial force rather than a "personal God", like Zeus is directly Baalzebul.

But then again, Baalzebul is also directly Poseidon and Hades if we are to use a certain allegory.

It's a complex question, I was just wondering if there is an obvious parallel I am not seeing. If Hecate is a complex Goddess of Her own kind, and, similarly to Sekhmet, relates strongly to concepts of another God.

The answer could be that there is no concrete answer yet and we are to wait until the Clergy releases her God Ritual, which was I expected. This post was still a shot in the dark to see if I can learn something new.
