(100) Hekate is a main belt asteroid in 11:5 resonance with Jupiter discovered in July of 1868. It has a perihelion of 2.6 AU and an aphelion of 3.6 AU. The semimajor axis is at 3.09 AU. There was an important observation in August of 1955 and July of 2003.
Greek mythology
Hekate was a goddess of wichcraft and is shown holding two torches or a key. She is called the "tender-hearted", a euphemism perhaps intended to emphasize her concern with the disappearance of Persephone, when she assisted Demeter with her search for Persephone following her abduction by Hades. Hekate speaked to the grieved Demeter with sweet words suggesting that she should speak to the god of the sun, Helios. Subsequently she became Persephone's companion on her yearly journey to and from the realms of Hades. (Wikipedia)
(100) Hekate gives counsels that assist and console, like in the movies "Noel" (2004) and "Brother Bear" (2003), when Kenai explains to Koda that his mother is not going to come back.
The astronomical observation of (100) Hekate in the year 2003, was overstriked by the discoveries of (136199) Eris and (208996) 2003 AZ84, which bring on very psychological conversations.

Cochabamba Water War, were a series of protests that took place in
Cochabamba, Bolivia's third largest city, between December 1999 and
April 2000 in response to the privatisation of the city's municipal
water supply company Semapa. The new firm, Aguas del Tunari was required
to invest in construction of long-envisioned dam (a priority of Mayor
Manfred Reyes Villa) - so they dramatically raised water rates.
Protests, largely organized through the Coordinator in Defence of Water
and Life, a community coalition, erupted in January, February, and
April, culminating in tens of thousands marching downtown and battling
police. (Wikipedia: Cochabamba Water War)
