Pantheon: The Minoans by Laura Perry

Publication: 26th August 2025

Journey through the Labyrinth to meet the Minoan deities of ancient Crete, who are still very much alive in the modern world.

The Minoan family of deities is presided over by a trio of mother goddesses representing the three sacred realms of Land, Sky, and Sea.

You might recognize some of the names in this pantheon: Ariadne, Dionysus, Rhea, Amalthea – even Minos, Arachne, and the Minotaur.

These deities continue to fascinate us as they draw us into the Labyrinth, the sacred maze that leads us on the adventure of a lifetime.

Laura Perry is the founder and Temple Mom of Ariadne’s Tribe, a worldwide inclusive Minoan spiritual tradition. In this role, she also leans on her experience as a Wiccan priestess, a Reiki Master, an artist, and a longtime herbalist and fiber artist. She has been writing all her life, but her first book was published in 2001. She writes pagan and magical-themed fiction and non-fiction and has also created a Minoan Tarot deck and coloring book. Her articles have appeared in The Magical Times, Indie Shaman, SageWoman and Pagan Dawn magazines, among others. When she’s not busy writing, painting, or leading rituals, you can probably find her digging in the garden or giving a living history demonstration at a local historic site.
