Journey to the Underworld with Hades author Jamie Waggoner.

Beginning in January 2025, you're invited to participate in a guided Hades book study with Jamie Waggoner, author of Hades: Myth, Magic and Modern Devotion. 

Jamie is a Pagan priestess, writer, and witch, and she's been a devotee of the Greek god Hades since 2016. During a series of live Zoom sessions, Jamie will break her book down chapter-by-chapter, guiding you through the material and exercises, while also sharing behind-the-scenes insights from her personal praxis and experiences while writing the book. 

During these sessions, breakout groups give you a chance to chat in small groups with other participants, and are offered alongside engaging participatory activities and plenty of Q&A time with Jamie. Participants will also be invited to join an optional Signal text thread to facilitate ongoing discussion and group comradery between meetings.

The River Styx Book Club is divided into two parts. Part 1 (January 8 to March 19) covers the first five chapters of Hades, and Part 2 (April 2 to June 11) covers the last five chapters. You can purchase a ticket for Part 1 or Part 2 separately, or save 20% by purchasing a combination ticket for both parts. A brief overview of the curriculum for each part is included below.

The River Styx Book Club is for you if:

• You want to develop or deepen your relationship with Hades.
• You want to delve into the mysteries of death and what comes after.
• You want to share conversation, magic, and ritual with other Hades devotees.
• You're a witch, magical practitioner, spiritual seeker, or open-minded skeptic who wants to explore how these myths, correspondences, and exercises can grow and/or expand your personal praxis and cultural understanding.
• You're curious about the real story behind this ancient and enigmatic god.
