About the author
Laura Perry writes on ancient Mediterranean spirituality and modern witchcraft practice. Pantheon: The Minoans, published by Moon Books, introduces the deities of ancient Crete, presenting the Minoan pantheon as a family of gods still drawn on by contemporary practitioners. Ancient Spellcraft: From the Hymns of the Hittites to the Carvings of the Celts surveys magical material from across the ancient world, from Sumerian ziggurats to Egyptian and Celtic sources, framed as a living tradition available for modern use. Shaman Pathways: Deathwalking, also from Moon Books, addresses deathwalking, or psychopomp work, the shamanic practice of helping a departed soul cross over, an area Perry notes has had little coverage in modern shamanic literature. Across these books Perry's focus is on reconstructing and adapting ancient religious and magical practices for contemporary pagan and shamanic practitioners.
