I'm joined today by author George Lizos to chat about the ancient Greek pantheon and the transition into modern day Greek mysticism. SECRETS OF GREEK MYSTICISM is the first spiritual book about the Greek gods and goddesses written by a native, practicing priest of Hellenic Polytheism. Rather than presenting the gods and goddesses as symbolic, lifeless figures, Secrets of Greek Mysticism teaches readers how to find each god or goddess within them. This is achieved by explaining the deeper spiritual meaning of popular myths and through grounding insights on the gods’ virtues as they relate to modern life: practicing bravery with Ares, cultivating endurance with Demeter, and embodying love with Aphrodite. George Lizos is a spiritual teacher, intuitive, and creator of Intuition Mastery School. He is also a priest of Hellenic Polytheism at the world’s first modern temple of Zeus in Cyprus. https://georgelizos.com/greekmysticism https://www.instagram.com/georgelizos/ https://georgelizos.com/ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/witch-wednesdays/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/witch-wednesdays/support

I'm joined today by author Maria Minnis to chat about her upcoming book, Tarot for the Hard Work! Maria is an unapologetically Black writer, ritual facilitator, and tarot reader who teaches about blending spirituality with liberation work. She has creatively worked with tarot for over twenty years and considers herself an eternal student of life, and thus the tarot. Her community program, Antiracist Tarot Society, is inspired by her belief that the end result of all magic should be to cultivate a more equitable and empathetic planet. Tarot for the Hard Work is a provocative exploration of the twenty-two cards of the Major Arcana that re envisions these archetypes as beacons that illuminate the various ways racism takes root both in ourselves and in the world. Author Maria Minnis, with compassion and wisdom, shows us how these insights can be turned into self-awareness, self-love, and positive social action. In Tarot for the Hard Work you’ll explore the Major Arcana to uncover how each card highlights both benevolent and shadow aspects of each archetype in relation to the different ways that racism shows up in our lives. With exercises and thought-provoking recommended reading and resources, you will be guided how to use those themes to dismantle internalized racism, racism in your relationships, and racism in your communities. Journal prompts are provided to help you create your own antiracism tool kit. As you move from the Fool to the World card, you’ll discover that everything we do ripples beyond us and that there are practical ways to use tarot energy to change our actions and our world. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/witch-wednesdays/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/witch-wednesdays/support

Author/illustrator duo Aubrey Houdeshell (@thegraveyardroses) and Rose Ides (@mothertao) are the creators of the recently-published deck The Oracle of Pluto, a dreamy 55-card oracle deck that guides readers through the foundations and rituals of shadow work, a spiritual practice long-associated with Plutonian archetypes—the unconscious self, rebirth, and transformation—to harness the cosmic insights of Pluto. The playful, psychedelic illustrations are meant to situate users in the transformative magic of Pluto, and representations of the planet’s many archetypes as shadow puppets infuse the deck with a whimsicality that counterbalances the intensity of the practice. Perfect for seekers of all kinds, The Oracle of Pluto celebrates the impressive insight that the dwarf planet provides in navigating life’s deepest questions. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/witch-wednesdays/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/witch-wednesdays/support
