Authors
George Lizos is a spiritual teacher, psychic healer, Greek pagan priest, creator of Intuition Mastery School, as well as a #1 bestselling author (Be the Guru, Lightworkers Gotta Work, Protect Your Light) and host of The Lit Up Lightworker and Can’t Host podcasts. He has been named one of the top fifty health and wellness influencers, and his work has been featured in Goop, PopSugar, and MindBodyGreen. He holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in metaphysical sciences, a MSc in Psychology, and is trained in various spiritual and healing modalities.
George took part in the first official priesthood training in Hellenic Polytheism organized by the Supreme Council of Ethnic Hellenes (YSEE) in Athens, following the religion’s legal recognition by the Greek government in 2017. Since then, he’s been a practicing priest of the religion at the world’s first modern temple of Zeus in Cyprus. George has taught about the Greek gods and spirituality in his books, workshops, and online courses, and his research on Aphrodite has been published by Soul & Spirit magazine and The Numinous.
“Secrets of Greek Mysticism is a rare gem that marries scholarly wisdom with practical spirituality. George’s insightful approach unveils the gods’ profound essence, offering readers a transformative road map to inner growth and connection. This book is an invitation to weave the divine into our daily lives.”
—Sophie Bashford, intuitive and bestselling author of You Are a Goddess
A clear introduction to the spirituality, beliefs, rituals, and gods and goddesses of the Greek pantheon from a modern practitioner.
Secrets of Greek Mysticism is the first spiritual book about the Greek gods and goddesses written by a native, practicing priest of Hellenic Polytheism. It goes beyond the simplistic and archetypical representation of the Greek pantheon and instead introduces the gods and goddesses from a theological perspective.
Secrets of Greek Mysticism teaches readers how to find each god or goddess within them. This is achieved through grounded insights on the gods’ virtues as they relate to modern life (i.e., practicing bravery with Ares, cultivating endurance with Demeter, and embodying love with Aphrodite), explaining the deeper spiritual meaning of popular myths, practicing guided meditations, activating the gods’ energies with mantras and hymns, and performing simple rituals.
In helping readers build a spiritual connection with the gods and goddesses, Secrets of Greek Mysticism reveals the beginnings of the practice as well as practices for everyday life:
- The twelve gods’ birth stories, essences, and virtues
- The foundation of ancient Greek spirituality, cosmology, and theology
- How to live and work with the gods on a daily basis
- Setting up altars
- Symbols, hymns, and meditations to guide readers’ practice of connecting with the gods
Secrets of Greek Mysticism also makes the claim that for the Divine Feminine to rise, the Divine Masculine needs to rise, too. Rather than solely focusing on female goddesses, it brings together the male and female deities of the Greek pantheon to help readers experience divine union.
