I have always been drawn to the power of destruction and transformation, and the Titan Perses has always been a fascinating figure to me. As the Titan of Destruction, Perses represents the raw, primal power of change, and I find his energy to be both compelling and intimidating.
I enjoy giving herbal offerings to Perses as a way of honoring and respecting his power. I believe that he deserves our respect and admiration, not only for his role in Greek mythology, but also for the energy he represents. By offering herbs to Perses, I am acknowledging the importance of his power and the potential for both good and bad that it brings.
Perses was the son of Crius and Eurybia, and the husband of Asteria. He was also the father of the goddess of witchcraft and crossroads, Hekate. In this way, Perses has a strong connection to the realm of magick and the occult. His relationship with Hekate is particularly interesting, as she is known for her association with dogs and the underworld. This connection may be the source of Hekate’s association with dogs, as Perses is said to have had dog-like features.
Overall, Perses is a powerful and dangerous force, but he can also be helpful if used wisely. He represents the power of transformation and change, which can be both good and bad depending on how it’s used. Those who work with Perses should respect his power and use it responsibly. By offering herbs to Perses, I am acknowledging and honoring his power, and seeking to work with him in a respectful and responsible manner.

Honoring Perses
As a witch working with Perses, using herbs to honor him can be a powerful way to connect with his energy and incorporate it into your magickal practice. Here is a detailed description of how you might use herbs to honor Perses:
First, you will need to gather some herbs that are associated with Perses and his energy. These might include rosemary, lavender, mugwort, and bay leaf. You could also use herbs that are associated with Mars and Ares, such as clove and bloodroot.
Once you have your herbs, you can create an offering for Perses. This might involve placing the herbs on a small altar or shrine that you have dedicated to him. You could also place them in a small dish or bowl and leave them on your altar or in a special place in your home.
When it comes to the time of day to leave your offerings, it can be helpful to choose a time that is associated with Perses and his energy. This might be during the night or early morning, when the energy of transformation and change is strongest. You could also choose to leave your offerings at a time that is personally significant to you, such as at the time of a new moon or during a powerful astrological aspect.
As you leave your offerings, you can say a simple prayer or intention to honor Perses and invite his energy into your magickal practice. This might be something like: “I honor you, Perses, Titan of Destruction. I offer these herbs as a symbol of my respect and gratitude for your powerful energy. I invite you to join me in my magickal work, and to help me bring about the changes I seek in my life and in the world around me.”
After leaving your offerings and saying your prayer or intention, it can be helpful to spend some time meditating or focusing on Perses and his energy. You might visualize yourself connecting with him, or imagine his energy flowing through you and into your magickal practice. You could also spend some time journaling or writing down your thoughts and feelings about working with Perses and incorporating his energy into your practice.
As you continue to work with Perses, you may want to experiment with different herbs and offerings, and see what resonates with him and with your own practice. You could also try incorporating other elements into your rituals, such as candles, crystals, or incense, to enhance the connection and energy of your work with Perses.
It’s important to remember that working with Perses and incorporating his energy into your magickal practice can be a powerful and transformative experience, but it is also important to approach it with respect and caution. Perses is a powerful force, and working with him can bring about significant changes in your life. It’s always a good idea to do your research and prepare carefully before working with any deity or energy in your magickal practice.
