The Minotaur Wasn't Real? Uncovering the Truth About Minoan Gods with Laura Perry

The Minotaur is one of the most famous figures in Greek mythology—but what if the story we’ve been told isn’t true? What if the labyrinth, the bull, and the sacrifices point to something far older and more sacred?

In this episode of Goddess Talks, I sit down with Laura Perry, author, artist, and expert in Minoan spirituality, to explore the real history and religion of the Minoans. We dive deep into the Minoan pantheon, their lost gods and goddesses, and their influence on later traditions.

🔹 Was Dionysus originally a Minoan god before the Greeks transformed him?

🔹 What was the true meaning of the bull in Minoan religion?

🔹 Did the Mycenaeans erase or absorb Minoan deities after their conquest of Crete?

Laura shares insights from her upcoming book, Pantheon: The Minoans, as well as Tales from the Labyrinth, a collection of modern Minoan myths. We also discuss her work with Ariadne’s Tribe, a growing community dedicated to reviving Minoan spiritual traditions in a way that speaks to modern practitioners.

This episode bridges archaeology, mythology, and spiritual practice—don’t miss it!
