Join Llewellyn author Jamie Waggoner for a reading and presentation from her new book, Hades: Myth, Magic and Modern Devotion. There will be plenty of time for Q&A with Jamie after the presentation, and she will be happy to sign copies of her book. Expect to be surprised and inspired by the Underworld, and to meet others who are also curious about Hades and his chthonic retinue.
About the book: One of the most recognizable but misunderstood Greek gods, Hades plays a valuable role that has not garnered much adoration. Using myth, storytelling, and practical exercises, author Jamie Waggoner shows how Hades is more than the keeper of souls and the land of the dead. She reveals his true nature and provides everything you need to build your own rich devotional practice.
Read this book to discover Hades’ real story with passages written in his own words, excerpts from historical texts, and Jamie’s personal experiences.
