@fandomaestheticnet: mythology au’s » melisandre of asshai as hecate, goddess of witchcraft & sorcery
They need never know how difficult it had been, or how much it had cost her. That was a lesson Melisandre had learned long before Asshai; the more effortless the sorcery appears, the more men fear the sorcerer.

The woman was the heart of it. Not the Lady Selyse, the other one. The red woman, the servants had named her, afraid to speak her name. “I will speak her name,” Cressen told his stone hellhound. “Melisandre. Her.” Melisandre of Asshai, sorceress, shadowbinder, and priestess to R’hllor, the Lord of Light, the Heart of Fire, the God of Flame and Shadow. Melisandre, whose madness must not be allowed to spread beyond Dragonstone.

witches ★ shape-shifters
most often playful and misunderstood, witches with the ability to shift are rare and difficult to find. many mistake shifters for dangerous creatures, and beings of dark magic; rather, they are kind and gentle and have an affinity for animals like no other witches. the forms they most often take are those of wolves or birds of prey, and more often than not they reside in seclusion, cabins in the forest or homes in the mountains. while kind, they are also fiercely protective of their homes and their familiars, and take on any threat with deadly ferocity.
