This episode explores Circe in Greek mythology through Homer's Odyssey, presenting her as a powerful sorceress and full goddess born to Helios and a sea nymph, embodying balanced sun-and-moon energy. Circe is known as a powerful witch with vast knowledge of potions and herbs. On her lush, animal-filled island, she welcomes Odysseus's men to a feast laced with potions that transform them into swine as a mirror of their recent war behavior. Warned by Hermes and protected by Athena's herb, Odysseus resists Circe's magic, confronts her, and they become lovers, living together for years and having three sons; she later restores his men. Circe then teaches Odysseus necromancy—witchcraft with the dead—so he can enter the underworld, consult an expert, and learn how to navigate back to Ithaca. Circe, a powerful witch and left on her solitary island, will help you to explore power, ethics, self-knowledge, and intent in magic.

We are closing out the shadow season by revisiting Medusa, blood magic, and necromancy as we move toward the Spring Equinox and Aries season, framed as a shift from inward shadow work into passion, life force, and healing. Have you heard the myth in which Perseus takes Medusa's blood, said to be deadly from her left side and the ultimate healing elixir from her right? This duality connects to long-standing right/left spiritual traditions. Asclepius uses the healing blood to resurrect the dead until Zeus stops him by striking him into the constellation Ophiuchus, linked to sacred serpents and medicine. Explore a Thessalian necromancer, Erichtho, who emphasizes necromancy as powerful healing. Reconsider death, ancestral wisdom, and what parts of the self to revive or release as we flow into balance of the worlds, night and day, left and right hand paths, and the healing weaving of polarity and duality.
