Offerings to Circe

Who is Circe? 

Circe is a goddess of sorcery, necromancy, transmutation, illusion and most importantly the practicalities of witchcraft. She is a very skilled herbalist, able to create potent potions, narcotics etc and has a deep connection with wild animals and is able to live with them as if they are tame. 

Circe respects hard work and dedication, she learned her skills as a human, which sets her far apart from most deities, but makes her an ideal goddess to work with for human witches of any path, background, or culture. 

Offerings 

- Any working herbs, dried, fresh etc  - Notes, study, writings of your own  - Pigs, anything pig themed  - Acts of gathering, solo work in the woods etc  - Wine - Wands and staves  - Poisonous or stinging plants - Gathered objects 

Beware - Circe is easy to start communication with if you are serious about learning her arts, but easily displeased if you aren’t serious or dedicated. She’s well known for being incredibly powerful, and not necessarily easily offended, but very aware of your intentions. She will prefer people who have a dedicated space for her, or a dedicated space to learn her crafts

🏛Hellenic cheat sheets🏛
In construction

Here are some cheat sheets with general information about the Greek Gods which you might find useful in worship but not only!

There is plenty of information I did not include. These are just simple cheat sheets. I could not fit everything in there but this might come in handy if you’re just starting out or want to get to know the Hellenic Gods.

For more information about them, I highly recommend you check out the websites or books I listed in sources!

PSA: Some of the things listed in offerings and associations section are more modern, thus could be regarded as UPGs/SPGs

⚡ The Olympians ⚡

🦴The Underworld🦴

  • House of Hades & the Afterlife

🌱 Minor deities & daimones 💫

🌾 Titan & Primordial Gods 🌌

👑 Heroes & deified mortals

What Native people say about the use of sage: you can use sage, but you cannot smudge as nothing you are doing (waving sage around) is actually smudging. Smudging is a ceremony and you are, we promise, not smudging. Please buy sage from either us, or someone who sources the sage from us. White sage may not be considered endangered by the US government but corperate sourcing is making it difficult for us to source sage for our own religious purposes. Let alone to sell it.

What white people hear: never use sage ever, don’t ever buy it, don’t own it, don’t even look at it.

Look, y’all. There’s a couple of facets to my talk today.

1) Yes! You can buy sage! You really, truly can! Buy it from either native sellers (go to a powwow! Eat our food, buy our stuff, watch some dancing!) Or buy it from a seller who sources the sage from native people. Pick one. And no, buying it from 5 Below doesn’t count.

2) you CANNOT smudge. This isn’t just you “shouldn’t”— this is a YOU ARE INCAPABLE OF SMUDGING. Waving a sage stick around your doorways IS NOT SMUDGING. It is smoke clensing. Smudging, depending on the tradition and tribe, could easily have dancing and drums involved. You, as a white person, do not have the cultural BACKGROUND to even know how it works. At all. Period.

3) please, for FUCKS SAKE, stop making posts here on tumblr where you tell other white people about cultural appropriation and what they can and cannot do. Please stop, your license has been revoked because none of you bother to get the facts right. We native people are FULLY CAPABLE OF DOING IT OURSELVES. Consider instead: a) reblogging our posts where we talk about it! We’re here! We have made posts!! b) Making a post that states what we said and then LINKS BACK TO US. Screenshot with a link if you must. Stop centering your own voices in these conversations. You are already centered in everything, stop centering yourselves in a native space.

I’m tired of this nonsense, y’all.

Thanks for coming to my TedTalk ™

***I understand that cursing is a controversial topic for some people. I don't believe in the threefold's law or whatnot, so such things aren't a concern for me. I do, however, advise you to only curse someone who truly deserves it. Curses are meant to be permanent and difficult to break, while hexes aren't nearly as potent. Do with that knowledge what you will. Intense spells will be marked with "***".***
Curses (long-term, usually permanent)
Hexes (short-term, usually temporary)

Things to put in your book of shadows

Of course, only put in your book of shadows/grimoire what you want. If you don't want to put certain subjects in your book then that's fine. It's your book, utilize it how you want. This is just a masterlist of ideas that I've put together. Feel free to add anything else to the list that I may have missed, because there's absolutely no way I included everything.

And for the love of all the gods, if you come across a closed entity or practice, don't try to work with the entity or practice if you're not already part of that group or tradition. You can research it but don't practice it.
