From now on or a synonym for therfore. The word hence can also mean 'away from this place'. Arwen, the elf princess in LOTR, says to her father Elron as she is becoming mortal: "There is now no ship that can bear me hence."

Hence means "because of a preceding fact". It is like saying "therefore" or "...which brings me to the conclusion that...". In old English, it would mean to leave a place or go away: Go hence and seek your destiny.
