"Hades is a wonderfully lyrical book that will forever change the way you think about one of the most dreaded Greek gods, Hades. Drawing upon deeply personal experience and detailed research, Waggoner teaches the perfect blend of mythology, history, and practice. This book is loaded with storytelling, correspondences, rituals, and exercises that will enrich the practice of both beginners and adepts."
—Kate Freuler, author of Of Blood and Bones

"Waggoner has created a stunning patchwork quilt...seamlessly incorporating the beauty of folklore with the knowledge of history while providing readers the tools they need to connect with something so much bigger than themselves."
—Amanda Woomer, author and creator of The Feminine Macabre: A Woman's Journal of All Things Strange and Unusual

"Waggoner expertly guides the reader through the lore, correspondences, and magical practices of the Unseen One. Her personal insight adds a profound depth to the book, especially the various trance journeys to the Underworld. Highly recommended."
—Astrea Taylor, author of Modern Witchcraft with the Greek Gods and Intuitive Witchcraft

"A volume full of clear-eyed wisdom and practical exercises....Hades is packed with information about herbs to be used for offerings and in magical work, rituals and meditative practices to begin or deepen a relationship with this god...and a startling variety of hands-on exercises that bring it all together. Open it to discover fascinating tidbits drawn from history and mythology, or use it as a guide to a profoundly sacred path, but read this book."
—Terence P Ward, editor of Host of Many: Hades and His Retinue

"Hades is simultaneously celebration, evocation, and exploration....Waggoner's journey toward Hades is frightening and exhilarating, and her personal anecdotes and exercises invite the reader to explore their own relationship with the much-maligned Lord of Tartaros and Elysium. This is a much-needed text in an age when so many, even in the Pagan/polytheist community, fear death and the Holy Powers who watch over us as one life ends and the next begins."
—Rebecca Buchanan, author of Host of Many: Hades and His Retinue and editor of Eternal Haunted Summer

"A comprehensive and insightful exploration of the Greek god Hades. Waggoner draws on a wide range of sources, including myth, folklore, and her own personal experiences, to paint a complex and nuanced portrait of this often-misunderstood deity....Waggoner's writing is clear and engaging, and she provides a wealth of information that is both scholarly and accessible. The book is a well-researched work that I believe will be a great source of inspiration for many Pagan practitioners."
