Scholars tend to believe that those scenes (ones involving Hectate etc) are not actually written by Shakespeare. The style of writing is noticeably changed, and the scenes do not match the rest of the storyline- Macbeth is known for being an incredibly fast paced play, which often gets straight to the point of the plot. Scenes with Hectate have no real meaning for Macbeth's character and therefore do not fit in with the rest of the play.

Was Medea and Circe's Mother Hecate?

Circe was a witch/sorceress/nymph or goddess queen of the island Aeaea, to which she was allegedly exhiled after killing her husband. There are various versions of her parenthood; some say she was daughter of Hecate (the crone, goddess of full moon and witchcraft), some say her mother was Perse(oceanid) and her father Helios (god of sun). In the second version, when Perse is her mother, she has three siblings: Pasiphae, Aeetes, and Perses. Now Medea is the daughter of Aeetes, which makes her Hecate's niece. Medea's biological mother is said to be Idiya, however Medea was allegedly a priestess of Hecate, some say Hecate tutored her, therefore she is often called daughter of Hecate. Idiya is in other versions called sister of Circe, once again making Medea Circe's niece. \
