About this listen

 This week I tackled the complex Hellenic Queen of the Underworld, Persephone. Persephone is the daughter of Demeter, goddess of the harvest, and is often associated with spring, renewal, and maidenhood. But her story is one of transformation: she is abducted by Hades, god of the Underworld, and taken to be his queen. In her mother’s grief, the earth becomes barren , the origin of winter.

Eventually, a compromise is struck: Persephone will spend part of the year in the Underworld and part above. Thus, she becomes a goddess of duality, ruling both the realm of the dead and the return of life to the earth.

In this episode I discuss all of the mythological stories of Persephone and how to connect with her. Hope you all enjoy!
