Hecate was an Ancient Greek deity, the ruler of the sky, sea and earth. She is known for her Triple Goddess aspect in that she goes through the three phases of female life: Maiden, Mother, and Crone. She is a protective Goddess who provides blessings and prosperity to the family. Hecate was originally the guardian of the crossroads but evolved into the goddess of magic and sorcery. This history of Hecate reflects in the uses and symbolism of the wheel symbol.
 
Hecate’s Wheel is a visual representation of the Triple Goddess, consisting of a visual maze with three distinct whirls that are connected in the center.  The symbol is said to be the depiction of a labyrinthine serpent around a central spiral. The labyrinthine snake is representative of rebirth and renewal and relates to the three faces of Hecate.
 
This version of the Hecate's Wheel includes the Ouroboros, an ancient symbol of a serpent eating its own tail, which symbolizes Hecate's affinity for serpentine imagery as well as the symbolism of wholeness, further represented by her three forms.
