A 3 Ringed CIRCUS of Animals!

The other source of the word "Church" is from the circles of the druids, such as:

"The circular Stonehenge in England.
The Scottish "Kirk" and the German "Kirche," are from the early word "Circe.")

The word "Church" is derived from "Circe."

The name "Circe" is well known by classical historians.
In his classical study, "The Myth of Kirke," Robert Brown gives extensive meanings in the ancient Greek world and concludes that Circe's simple meaning is "Circle" or "Circular" (p.22).

But it not only referred to a building or monument that was "circular," but one of its main meanings was its reference to the ancient Goddess "Kirke" or "Circe.

"Circe was the great heathen daughter of the Sun God, famous for taming wild animals in her 'circus.'

And how is Circe pictured in the classical accounts?
She is shown holding a golden cup in her hand mixed with wine and drugs through which she controls the kings of the world (like Ulysses).

On another website I found the following description of Circe.

KIRKE (or Circe) was a goddess pharmakeia (witch or sorceress) who lived with her nymph attendants on the mythical island of Aiaia. She was skilled in the magic of metamorphosis, the power of illusion, and the dark art of necromancy. When Odysseus landed on her island she transformed his men into animals, but with the help of the god Hermes, he overcame the goddess and forced her to release his men from her spell.

Perhaps you are already aware that the English word sorcery is used to translate the Greek word pharmakeia in this same book of Revelation. It is employed in a passage describing the Great Harlot who is also called Babylon.

Revelation 18:23-24
“Because all the nations were deceived by your sorcery (pharmakeia). And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints and of all who have been slain on the earth.”
