Hecate is a goddess in ancient Greek religion and mythology, most often shown holding a pair of torches, a key, or snakes, or accompanied by dogs, and in later periods depicted as three-formed or triple-bodied.
She is variously associated with crossroads, entrance-ways, night, light, magic, protection from witchcraft, the Moon, knowledge of herbs and poisonous plants, graves, ghosts, necromancy, and sorcery.[
Her earliest appearance in literature was in Hesiod's Theogony in the 8th century BCE as a goddess of great honour with domains in sky, earth, and sea. Her place of origin is debated by scholars, but she had popular followings amongst the witches of Thessaly and an important sanctuary among the Carian Greeks of Asia Minor in Lagina

hey, can you explain the differences between xenine and outherine? Thanks
The main difference between outherine and xenine is that outherine is a sociegender quality/group of qualities. That is outherinities are defined by themselves and no component on their definition can exist outside the concept of gender.
Meanwhile xenine qualities are defined by and around things, beings, and concept that have an existence independent from the concept of gender, but are being applied to gender concepts.
For example, the main quality of maverique is maverinity; maverinity is defined around the quality of being maverine. We could go a bit further and define maverinity around an strong sense of gender autonomy, but we cannot go further than "gender autonomy", which basically means "gender distinct/separated from pre-existed concept".
With xenine qualities, on the other hand, definitions are linear and the concept they are defined by/around can and do exist outside the gender. For example, Hallowinity is the quality of genders defined by/around Halloween or halloween-ness, but "Halloween" is a thing, a celebration, that exist independently from the concept of gender.
I like to call xenine qualities and those qualities that could technically be considered xenine, but, because there's been a lot a misinformation on what it means (reducing it as "non-human concepts), it's made people reject that category those qualilties, like soporine, "concrete qualities" because I like to compare them to concrete nouns in that the thing they're defined around exist outside gender.
(This does not mean, of course, that xenogenders, are only ever defined around concrete concepts. It's xenine qualities themselves that are concrete qualities, but they can be defined around abstract nouns like emotions.)
And, likewise, I call sociegender qualities "abstract qualities" (disclaimer: abstract doesn't mean fake or imaginary), comparing them to "abstract nouns" as the thing they are defined around cannot exist without genders that are that thing. Femininity, masculinity, neutrality, androgyny, outherinities, etc can only be measure through genders and people who are fem/masc/neu/angi/outher/etc, just like happiness can only be meassure and contained by people and other beings who are happy.

Cue Hana bursting into the room, dressed up in a witch costume and a matching hat, one hand on her hip gripping the handle of a pumpkin basket whilst the other holds a broom prop upright at her side. “Haepi hallowin! I’m here to bewitch you into giving aaaall of your candy to me!” She removes her hand from her hip, holding out the basket expectedly.
