The Evermore Grimoire: Mythology

Circe (Κιρκη) was an enchantress and goddess of sorcery who was also skilled in the magic of transmutation, illusion, and necromancy in Greek mythology. She lived on the mythical island of Aiaia (Aeaea) with her nymph companions. In Homer’s Odyssey, Circe is described as living in a mansion that stands in the middle of a clearing in a dense wood. Around the house prowled strangely docile lions and wolves, the drugged victims of her magic; they were not dangerous, and fawned on all newcomers. Circe also worked at a huge loom. She invited Odysseus’ crew to a feast of familiar food, a pottage of cheese and meal, sweetened with honey and laced with wine, but also laced with one of her magical potions, and she turned them all into pigs with a wand after they gorged themselves on it. Only Eurylochus, suspecting treachery from the outset, managed to escape to warn Odysseus and the others who had stayed behind at the ships. Odysseus set out to rescue his men, but was intercepted by Hermes (god of trade), who told him to use the holy herb to protect himself from Circe’s potion and, having resisted it, to draw his sword and act as if he were to attack her. From there, Circe would ask him to bed, but Hermes advised caution, for even there the goddess would be treacherous. She would take his manhood unless he had her swear by the names of the gods that she would not.

@magicwcman can probably do a trick or two… ♤

“Pull a rabbit out of a hat! Do a card trick! No, wait! Pull a penny from behind my ear…” Joyous as per usual she didn’t bother stopping herself from bursting out into laughter. “I do so love magic tricks!”

Circe paused a moment, not really sure how to respond to the woman in front her of. Slight of hand and show magic were not exactly her strong suit. 

"Are you sure you wouldn’t rather see me transform one of your lackeys into a pig?” she asked in response.

Circe couldn’t help the chuckle that left her lips. “Can’t go wrong with a grenade or two,” she mused. “Can’t say I have a particular target in mind, just in the mood to cause a bit of chaos,” she grinned, magic swirling around her fingertips.
