Into the Labyrinth

Online Course about

Modern Minoan Paganism

A journey into the magic of Minoan spirituality

In this class we'll explore the Minoan pantheon and the modern Minoan Wheel of the Year:

By Land, Sea, and Sky (the three Great Goddesses and the three realms)
Great Cosmic Mother-of-All (Ourania and her place in the modern Minoan pantheon)
Feast of Grapes (the grape harvest, a celebration of Dionysus)
The Mysteries (the Minoan precursor to the Eleusinian Mysteries)
The Year Begins (Autumn Equinox, the Minoan New Year)
Winter Solstice (Dionysus' birth in Rhea's sacred cave)
Harvest Time (in the Mediterranean, field crops are harvested in the spring)
Summer Solstice (the sacred marriage of Ariadne and Dionysus)

This is all new material that doesn't duplicate anything in Ariadne's Thread or Labrys and Horns. And no, you don't have to read the books before you take the class (though of course I'd be thrilled if you did).

You're not required to turn in the assignments to be graded, but it's an option a lot of people enjoy. I don't give letter grades, and I always do my best to provide positive feedback to help you find more meaning in your spiritual practice.

This course is designed to lead you on your own journey of discovery for a personal relationship with the gods and goddesses of the MMP pantheon in a way that's just right for you. You do not have to be a member of any group to take this course. All the activities can easily be completed by a solitary practitioner.

Price is $50 for the full 8-week course.

The next session of this course begins 7 September 2021.

Registration for the next session will open summer 2021.

Participate from anywhere in the world, at your own pace.
Once I receive your registration, I'll send you the welcome e-mail and instructions for accessing the discussion forum. Please allow 24-48 hours for this, as I'm a human being and occasionally need to eat and sleep.
Course includes 8 units of written materials (PDF format) and 8 guided meditations (MP3 format).
Upon completion of all 8 homework assignments, you will receive a printable certificate.
No refunds unless class is cancelled, but you may do a one-time rollover of your registration fee to either of the next two upcoming classes.
If you have any questions that are not answered on this website, please contact me.

Registration for the 2021 session of Into the Labyrinth will open summer 2021.

A number of my students have commented how much they enjoyed the music that provides the background in the meditations for this class and Deeper Into the Labyrinth.

I'm proud to say that music was composed, arranged, and produced by my now-very-grown-up "baby," who works under the stage name eric.a.casey. Their first album, which includes updated versions of some of the meditation music as well as new pieces with a similar vibe, is now available on the eric.a.casey Bandcamp.

This is one of a pair of courses about Modern Minoan Paganism. The other class is Deeper Into the Labyrinth.

You may take the two courses in any order you prefer. Due to student demand, I've structured them so each one is a stand-alone class that doesn't rely on information from the other one. But if I'm really honest, I think you should take this class first and Deeper Into the Labyrinth second.
