The problem, in the most mythology's the children are already born as halfgods or gods with powers. I have found two legends, one about Cassandra, the other about Medusa. They where female humans and and got their powers later. @Syscrash53  You may be right. Henrietta seems neutral. We should also accept one thing. You have ranking in the wesenworld,  by the royals and witches (or Hexenbiest). I would classify Adalind as a moderate hexenbiest. But it exists also very strong and ( I don't know how to say, the best of the best) "Royalhexenbiests" around the world. That's what I mean't with experience of the old People. Kelly would never have visited Henrietta in this way. Nick went to Henrietta in an arrogant way and without any respect. I'm a Grimm, yeah. And  Henrietta showed him with a smile how easy it can be to control him and that he has still to learn a lot. The fact that not every wesen or hexenbiest is scared,when he comes the way, shocked him. Sorry but I don't find any excuses for his behave towards Juliette. I can not believe she is losing her normalself. And neither I believe in good or evil powers. She has access to an ancient force. It's up to her to make the best of it. You can use it in a good or in a bad way. The primary target her hexenbiest side is acting instinctively to protect her. And don't believe Juliette would ever manipulate Nick. For  that she is too proud. He must accept her like she accepted him.

Hey, thanks for responding! So Medusa started life as a normal woman. Hmm, I might have known that at some point but, that's interesting. Like you say, not an exact parallel. I'm starting to wonder if there really is one.

I do agree that the ultimate resolution has to be for Juliette to master control over her powers but, I don't think it's going to be an easy road for her to get there. If you haven't read the interview with Bitsie Tulloch that PDXBlazer posted, I highly recommend it. Things are going to get Biestly indeed!

Losing control of one's urges and/or falling under the influence of others has been a recurring theme in Grimm and I think Juliette's struggle not to lose herself to the temptations of her new found power is going to be the most epic example of this yet. Wesen have a lifetime of learning to deal with their impulses. Juliette's powers have been bestoyed on her overnight and they are beyond anything we've seen before. There's that old saying that a Samurai without a master is a dangerous thing. Well, right now Juliette is a Samurai Godzilla without a master. Even if she has the best intentions there is bound to be some major destruction before she gains her balance.
