Charmer Circe of the Heath

Forgotten Runes Wizard Cult #0912

The name 'Circe' means 'falcon.' She is a beautiful woman, whose braided red hair resembled flames. Rumors abound that Circe is a goddess of magic (or sometimes a nymph, witch, enchantress or sorceress). By most accounts, Circe is said to be the daughter of Helios, the god of the sun. Circe is renowned for her vast knowledge of potions and herbs. Through the use of magical potions she transforms her enemies, or those who offend her, into animals.

Circe (sonnet)

Tired, I awoke upon a lonely island beach And gazed on a Goddess above the shore, With sea foam hair, coral skin, what dream, My salt eyes, blinded, open, wanting more,

Conspiring with rays of summer she shone So bright, this daughter of the sun, we stood I and my castaway crew, to that siren prone As she led us to her mansion in the woods.

Her potions tamed the forest wolf and lion, Spellbinding warrior poets to liven feasts. Why then must she turn damned men to swine, By what she most desired contented least?

Desert falcon, my moly held Pharaohs' breeze And what nil escape above the wine dark seas.
