About Me

Harita Meenee was born in 1969 in Athens, where she lives and works.

She studied classical literature and language at the Philosophical School of the University of Athens; during that time she examined the female roles in ancient tragedies, as well as their rich mythical symbolism.

Her graduate studies, in the field of counseling, were done at the Athens University of La Verne. She focused on Jungian psychology, exploring feminine archetypal images in the Hellenic mythology and their significance for contemporary women.

Many of her writings are about pre-Christian Greece and other ancient traditions, including their myths and symbols. She has written the following books:

- Neo-Paganism: Rebirth of the Old Religion. Salonica: Archetypo Press, 2000. (In Greek)

- On the Path of Aphrodite. Athens: Eleusis Press, 2003. (In Greek)

- The Women's Olympics and the Great Goddess. Athens: Eleusis Press, 2004. (In English. See the blog "Book Review" for more information)

- The Sacred Feminine and Mary Magdalene. Athens: Eleusis Press, 2005. (In Greek)

In 2005 she presented the weekly historical and cultural program “Myths and Words” which aired on Greek television channel Seven. She often visits Southern California where she gives talks and workshops. For information on her online seminars, please see her respective blogs.
