In this revised and updated second edition of Labrys and Horns, you’ll find the pantheon, rituals, symbols and practices of Ariadne's Tribe, an inclusive Minoan spiritual tradition. The second edition is enlarged and expanded, including a great deal of new information as the Tribe has grown and evolved over the past few years.
Ariadne's Tribe is a revivalist tradition that connects the deities of ancient Crete with modern Pagans in a living spiritual practice. With a pantheon headed by a triplicity of mother goddesses who embody the three sacred realms of land, sky, and sea, Minoan spirituality calls us to remember a time when women were valued as equals to men, when the Great Mothers took care of all their children, and when the sacred touched every person every day of their lives.
Minoan spirituality is so relevant to our times, when we’re doing our best to move forward and away from inequality and oppression.
This book can help you build relationships with the Minoan deities and bring their blessings into your life, and from there, into the larger world.

Unsolicited Review: I felt like this book gave more accurate and archaeologically-supported historical information about the Minoans than I learned from any history book, and I literally majored in Classics with a specialization in Minoan history. Beautiful overview of the Minoans and Modern Minoan Paganism. Thank you for taking the time to research and write this book.
