Review

"A remarkable fusion of deep scholarship, engaging insights, and potent practices. This book elegantly navigates the rich waters of ancient Greek spirituality, breathing life into practices that have seemingly long lain dormant, while skillfully maintaining their relevance in our modern world...A treasure trove for anyone drawn to the ancient Greek religious practices."
Mat Auryn, international bestselling author of Psychic Witch

"Reece stands out as a welcomed fresh voice for seekers searching for understanding in our challenging world. Awakening our divine memory, The Waters of Mnemosyne is a thoughtful exploration of ancient religion applied to our modern quest for meaning and connection. Reece guides the reader to develop a stronger relationship between themselves and the divine."
Angelo Nasios, author and host of the Hearth of Hellenism podcast

"There are few books that weave revelation and research seamlessly, letting them inform each other to create a truly vibrant spirituality. The Waters of Mnemosyne is such a book. Rather than dry reconstruction, Gwendolyn gives us a Hellenic Religion that is dripping with spirit...Reece [is] uniquely qualified to lay down what will surely be the definitive text for Hellenic practice for years to come."
Jason Miller, author of Consorting With Spirits

"In her groundbreaking work, Reece doesn't just recreate ancient rituals; she ingeniously reinterprets fundamental concepts for today's Pagan practitioner. With unparalleled clarity, she unveils the intricate terminology and symbolic meanings pivotal to Hellenic polytheism, making it accessible through relatable examples and practical exercises in each chapter.?"
Cara Schulz, author and former journalist for The Wild Hunt

"Gwendolyn's passion, wit, insight, and commitment to connecting more people to this stream of culture and practice is a wonder to behold. I have no doubt that this book will be a classic that will inspire current and future generations. The Waters of Mnemosyne treats its readers with respect as it challenges and encourages them to become their best selves."
Ivo Dominguez, Jr., author of Keys to Perception

"Gwendolyn unites a clear historic and philosophical understanding with her own living magickal experience to offer us a valuable text in remembering and renewing our relationship with the gods of Greece...The teachings on philosophy, healing, community, fate, cleansing, heroes, virtue, the mysteries, and humanity's relationship with the gods are well worth your time."
Christopher Penczak, bestselling author of the Temple of Witchcraft series

"This book is much more than a history text―it is a manual of living practice...The passion of her dedication to our gods shines through every page...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."
Sara Mastros, author of Orphic Hymns Grimoire, The Sorcery of Solomon, and other books

"Gwendolyn Reece presents a thorough and compelling tour of Ancient Hellenic culture, philosophy, religion, and magickal practice, and offers tools to adapt these practices into modern-day magickal work. She is deeply knowledgeable and an excellent teacher, and her love for and deep experience with the subject matter shines through in this excellent must-read."
Enfys J. Book, author of Queer Qabala and Queer Rites
