Modern Witchcraft with the Greek Gods

Modern Witchcraft with the Greek Gods
History, Insights & Magickal Practice
By Jason Mankey & Astrea Taylor

The gods of ancient Greece remain deeply woven into modern culture—and for many practitioners, they remain an active part of spiritual and magical practice. Modern Witchcraft with the Greek Gods combines history, mythology, personal experience, and practical witchcraft for those interested in building relationships with the Greek deities today.

The book introduces more than sixty deities and mythological figures, spanning the Olympians, Titans, and Primordial Forces. From Aphrodite and Persephone to Selene, Ares, and Zeus, individual sections explore each figure's origins, historical worship, associations, and magical correspondences.

Alongside the historical material are personal insights from contributing practitioners who work with these deities. Rituals and spells provide practical ways to incorporate them into modern witchcraft, including drawing down the moon with Selene, working a courage spell with Ares, and performing a ritual with Persephone centered on reclaiming lost parts of yourself.

Rather than treating the Greek gods solely as figures of ancient mythology, this book explores how practitioners can develop meaningful relationships with them within a contemporary magical practice.
