The High Priestess Circe Invidiosa - by J. W. Waterhouse (1892) – Witch Goddess of Vengeance & Sorcery – Occult Mythic Art Poster for Witches & Mystics
A captivating icon of divine vengeance, witchcraft, and mythic transformation.
This print brings to life Circe Invidiosa — the spellbinding painting by John William Waterhouse, one of the most evocative voices of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. In this haunting 1892 work, we witness the sorceress Circe in a moment of chilling beauty, pouring a glowing green poison into the waters that will transform her rival into a sea monster.
This image captures more than just a scene from Greek mythology — it reflects the raw emotional spectrum of divine feminine rage, forbidden magic, and sacred retribution.
The Sorceress Circe: A Timeless Archetype
Circe, daughter of Helios and oceanid Perse, is one of antiquity’s most powerful and complex enchantresses. She was known for her knowledge of herbs, transmutation, and alchemical arts — a liminal being who moved between the divine and the wild. In this painting, we see her not as a passive priestess, but as a witch-queen in full command of her magic and vengeance.
• Symbol of feminine autonomy and sorcerous will
• Guardian of ancient magic and sacred boundaries
• A patroness of witches, herbalists, and mystics
• Embodiment of divine wrath and emotional transformation
Symbolism & Energy of the Painting
Waterhouse’s Circe Invidiosa is steeped in powerful visual motifs that resonate with esoteric and psycho-spiritual themes:
✦ The Poisoned Water – represents emotional toxicity, transformation, and karmic consequence. Water is both the medium of magic and of change.
✦ The Emerald Glow – radiates supernatural energy, jealousy, and hidden alchemical power.
✦ Circe’s Dark Robes – mirror her inner world: mystery, shadow work, and sacred rage.
✦ The Downward Gaze – a symbol of focused intention and spiritual consequence. Circe is not afraid to act.
✦ The Ocean Abyss – the subconscious realm, psychic depths, and the container of transformation.
For Devotees of:
• Greek mythology, archetypes & divine femininity
• Dark goddesses, shadow priestesses & magical femmes
• Occult art, gothic symbolism, and pre-Raphaelite aesthetics
