Hi everyone! Welcome to my

first post for Tea Spill where

we give you some facts on

various topics. This month's

topic is "Magic" so I decided

to tell you about some magic

deities.

According to Herodotus, the words "magic" and

"magicians" come from the Persian language.

Outside of Persia, magic was considered to be

the domain of women.

The first and rather the most

famous magic deity is :

                                  ᎻᎬᏟᎪͲᎬ

              - The Greek goddess of darkness,

                witchcraft and the world of

                supernatural beings.

               - She was identified with other deities:

                Artemis and Selene, Persephone and

                even Demeter.

                                      ҒᎡᎬᎫᎪ

              - Norse goddess of love, fertility and

                magic. According to myths, she is

                considered the most beautiful of the

                goddesses.

              - At the table of the warriors in Valhalla,

                she occupied a place equal to Odin.

                oaths, arts, crafts, and, above all, wealth.

              - Weles is also associated with cattle

                  evil magic.

                - She had three sons named Dub ("dark"),

                  Dother ("evil") and Dian ("violence")

                  who plundered Ireland.

                - She was defeated by the powerful

                  sorceress Bechuille. Carman's sons

                  were killed and she was chained and

                  died of despair.
