Hades Unveiled - Jamie Waggoner

09/15/24 • 39 min

What if the Greek god of the underworld isn't who you think he is? Join us as we uncover the mysteries of Hades with our special guest Jamie Waggoner, an accomplished author, pagan priestess, and expert in the occult. Jamie shatters common misconceptions by distinguishing Hades from the devil, providing clarity on the difference between the ancient Greek underworld and the Christian concept of hell. Drawing insights from her book "Hades: Myths, Magic, and Modern Devotion," Jamie offers a fresh perspective on Hades, highlighting his often overlooked aspects and exploring his significance in both ancient and modern contexts.
We dive into the topics of death, shadow work, and desires, discussing the collective trauma and death phobia that plagues our contemporary society. Jamie elaborates on the importance of experiencing death within a community, explaining how communal grieving can make the process less intimidating. We touch on the role of mythological figures like Hypnos and Thanatos in life's transitions and consider how embracing death as an advisor can lead to more meaningful life decisions. Jamie also emphasizes Hades' role in shadow work, particularly through his epithet "Clemenos," shedding light on his notorious actions in mythology.
In our final chapter, we explore the mystical teachings and tools of ancient Greek gods, focusing on Hades and his Helm of Invisibility. Jamie explains how Hades' unseen nature can guide us in knowing when to assert ourselves and when to remain concealed. We introduce our listeners to the "Way of the Weaver" program, which offers inclusive teachings on magic, and share Jamie's exciting news about her upcoming follow-up book. Wrapping up, we express heartfelt gratitude to our listeners and promise more intriguing content in future episodes. Don't miss this enlightening conversation that promises to reshape your understanding of the divine and the mystical.
