Gwendolyn Reece

The Waters of Mnemosyne: Ancient Greek Religion for Modern Pagans, scholar, priestess, and master teacher Gwendolyn Reece weaves these three kinds of knowledge together into a seamless garment of Truth. Dr. Reece’s decades of faithful study are very evident; the scholarship is deep, thorough, and meticulous.  In the hands of a lesser teacher, such detail could have been a dreadfully boring, but Dr. Reece’s smooth, clear exposition renders it fascinating.  And yet, this book  is much more than a history text – it is a manual of living practice.  It is abundantly clear that Dr. Reece is not just a scholar, but a priestess as well.  The passion of her dedication to our gods shines through every page, but it is especially evident in the gorgeous guided journeys with the gods.  With a sure and persuasive voice, Dr. Reece embraces the role of Philosopher Queen, painting a picture not only of the historical Greece.  Even more, she brings to life the ideals my ancient Greek ancestors failed to meet, helping us to imagine new age of Athenian Reason and Apollonian Harmony for our own times.  I cannot recommend this book highly enough – it will be treasured by both motivated beginners and long-term devotees.” – Sara Mastros
