Secrets of Greek Mysticism: A Modern Guide to Daily Practice with the Greek Gods and Goddesses

A clear introduction to the spirituality, beliefs, rituals, and gods and goddesses of the Greek Pantheon from a modern practitioner.

Secrets of Greek Mysticism is the first spiritual book about the Greek gods and goddesses written by a native, practicing priest of Hellenic Polytheism. It goes beyond the simplistic and archetypical representation of the Greek pantheon and reintroduces the gods and goddesses from a theological, rather than a mythological, perspective. Rather than presenting the gods and goddesses as symbolic, lifeless figures one can use to embellish spiritual practice, Secrets of Greek Mysticism teaches readers how to find each god or goddess within them. This is achieved through grounded insights on the gods' virtues as they relate to modern life (i.e., practicing bravery with Ares, cultivating endurance with Demeter, and embodying love with Aphrodite), explaining the deeper spiritual meaning of popular myths, practicing guided meditations, activating the gods' energies with mantras and hymns, and performing simple rituals.

Secrets of Greek Mysticism also makes the claim that for the Divine Feminine to rise, the Divine Masculine needs to rise, too. Rather than solely focusing on female goddesses, it brings together the male and female deities of the Greek pantheon to help readers experience divine union. Secrets of Greek Mysticism covers:

• The twelve gods' birth stories, essence, and virtues
• How to live and work with the gods on a daily basis
• Setting up altars
• The foundation of ancient Greek spirituality, cosmology, and theology
• Symbols, hymns, and meditations to guide readers' practice of connecting with the gods
