About the Author
Maria Zerva is a Greek researcher and lecturer passionate about unveiling the symbolic truths hidden in ancient myths and philosophical texts. Born with a deep connection to nature and a love for her Hellenic heritage, Maria reads original Greek manuscripts to uncover the allegorical teachings of philosophers like Pythagoras, Plato, and Proclus.
Her work bridges mythology, philosophy, and spirituality — exploring how ancient wisdom reveals the path of the soul and the mysteries of human existence.
Her recent lecture and writings invite readers to rediscover the sacred traditions, cosmic laws, and timeless messages of the Great Mother, encouraging a reconnection with nature, morality, and divine knowledge.

A Journey into Ancient Knowledge
“Decoding the Myths began as a personal quest to understand the hidden truths behind ancient Greek myths and the sacred teachings of our ancestors.
In these stories — often dismissed as mere legends — lies the wisdom of humanity’s soul journey, the connection between nature, philosophy, and the divine feminine known as the Great Mother.” — Maria Zerva
Decoding the Myths – The Mysteries of the Great Mother Booklet
Decoding the Myths – The Mysteries of the Great Mother is a beautifully written and illustrated reflection on humanity’s forgotten wisdom.
Adapted from Maria’s lecture at the Slimbridge Dowsing Group in 2025, the booklet explores how myths and legends encode the path of the soul’s evolution.
Through the lens of Greek philosophy, astronomy, and symbolism, Maria reveals that each ancient tale — from the labours of Heracles to the abduction of Europa — hides teachings about our divine purpose and the mysteries of the Great Mother.
