🪐 T h e M y t h & reframe of Persephone:
Persephone (Kore) was the Greek goddess of agriculture and vegetation, and the wife of Hades, the ruler of the Underworld. Her story is a vital element of the Eleusinian Mysteries. One that we will initiate you into through embodiment and ritual.

The myth of Persephone goes as follows:
One sunny day young Persephone is out picking flowers, when suddenly the earth rips open to reveal the king of the underworld himself! Hades (Pluto) grabs Persephone and forcefully drags her down into the underworld, where she is made his unwilling wife. One day amidst her misery, Persephone is tricked into eating pomegranate, the fruit of the underworld. In doing so Persephone becomes queen of the underworld and is bound to underworld forever.

🪐The deeper truth?
Hades is the manifestation of Persephone’s disowned parts. In incarnating into duality Persephone identifies with love, light, spring and flowers. She forgets that she is death, winter, grief and rage.
Before embodying the dual world Persephone makes an agreement with Hades: “When I forget, please remind me of who I really am.”
At first Hades objects: “I will hurt you. I will take away your power and violate you before you remember.”
In full devotion Persephone begs him: “Whatever it takes! I have to remember. It is my purpose. Please!”
Seeing her determination, out of sheer love, Hades agrees. He plays the role of perpetrator. Until one day Persephone eats the seeds of a pomegranate tree and in doing so remembers all. Once Persephone reclaims who she truly is, she tenderly reunites with Hades and is able to rule both worlds, spending 6 months of each year above (spring and summer) and 6 months below.

Why it matters?
This is you, love. With all your grief and all your aches, there is a higher purpose. Let us guide you back into remembering who you really are.
