Book Review: Pagan Portals - Circe Goddess of Sorcery
Here’s another brilliant book by Reclaiming tradition teacher and author Irisanya Moon on a fascinating topic: Circe – Goddess of Sorcery. It’s in Moon Books’ Pagan Portals series, which offer short introductions to esoteric subjects, but packs a wealth of information into 88 pages.
Like most people, I mainly knew of Circe from The Odyssey. I’ve long felt her to be a wonderful depiction of a strong and powerful woman, as well as a goddess figure. I blogged about her back in 2009 after seeing a play based on Homer’s tale. The painting Circe Offering the Cup to Ulysses by John William Waterhouse was also part of the 2022 British Museum’s Feminine Power exhibition, and you can see it here.
I read this new book on Circe to learn more – and I wasn’t disappointed. Irisanya Moon covers references to her in classical and modern literature as well as ways to honour and work with Circe as a goddess and archetype. This includes visualisations, spells, dreamwork and herb lore.
The synopsis on Moon Books website says
“Meet Circe, feared goddess of Homer’s Odyssey, who used her knowledge of nature and sorcery to transform those who displeased her into animals and monsters. Author Irisanya Moon reveals the Goddess in her ancient Greek context, and offers unique insight to and explanations of her relationships, deeds, and desires while offering practical advice on how to meet with this engaging Goddess today.”
I’m delighted to have read the book and recommend to anyone wanting to learn more about Circe and work with her in a pagan spiritual practice.
