Diktaion cave, Lasithi - Yuchtas hill and Zeus Thenatas temple, Heraklion - Idaion cave, Rethymnon

1, 2 or 3 Days

Zeus is central to Crete. He was born in the Diktaion Cave, grew up in the Idaion Cave, and, according to Cretan tradition, is buried beneath Mount Yuchtas in Heraklion. As his mother was carrying him from one cave to the other, his umbilical cord fell at the place where the sanctuary of Zeus Thenatas was later built.

Between Mount Yuchtas and the two caves, an isosceles triangle is formed, with the two equal sides extending from Yuchtas.  

During this tour, we can visit one, two, or all three of these sites, including the sanctuary of Zeus Thenatas, which lies close to Yuchtas but reaches all the way to the sea. Along the way, we will have the opportunity to dive deeper into the stories and myths that reveal Crete - but also reveal something about ourselves as human beings.

Mythology, storytelling, and the ancient mysteries were, and still are, powerful tools for igniting a shift in consciousness. This is what Mystical Greece aims to create: an awakening, a revelation, a nudge from Spirit that, however small or imperceptible, can still have a far more powerful effect on our lives than we might imagine.

There is a theory that these places were the areas where the ancient Minoan mystery schools were born, and that the Minoan mysteries were among the most important, powerful, and deeply transformational mystery traditions that ever existed in Greece. If you were a person participating in the mysteries of Greece, the Minoan mysteries were said to be the final class.

This is speculation, but the energy of these places is undeniably palpable.
