Best Answer

Hecate symbols in Greek Mythology are references to myth, the Torches because she aided Demeter in her search for Persephone when Hades stole her daughter.

The Crossroads because she is a goddess with power over heaven, earth, and sea.

The polecat/weasel because Galinthias the nurse of Alkmene (mother of Hercules) was turned into one and Hecate felt sorry for her.

Gale the witch also was transformed into a polecat/weasel by Hecate as punishment.

The black dog is Trojan Queen Hekabe, who leapt into the sea after the fall of Troy and was transformed by the goddess into her familiar.

Asphodel because it was sacred to the Underworld deities, of which Hecate was counted among them because she was a handmaiden/companion of Persephone.
