The Transformative Power of the Underworld with Persephone 

I LOVE your videos!❤ Thanks you so much for sharing your knowing!❤

thank you for connecting persophone to the crone.

Wow, I love this video so much. The story of Persephone's abduction was the first Greek myth that fascinated me and drew me into the entire world of Greek mythology as a kid. I remember reading about her kidnapping and thinking that there was something darkly romantic it -- something about Hades' desire for her felt hot in some way. But as I got older, I realized that that particular version of the story both attracted me AND repelled me because I did not like Persephone's lack of agency in it. I became ashamed of the fact that I found it romantic because she was a victim. Plus, my feminist awakening led to me being ashamed of finding Hades' actions sexy/romantic. There were some things about myself that I had to learn and come to terms with, but I felt like it was anti-feminist (and still do in some ways...). So I LOVE that you talked about the earlier versions of Persephone's story because it puts things into a greater perspective for me. I was familiar with Inanna's story and consciously appreciated Inanna's agency compared to Persephone, but for some reason I felt distanced from it in a way I didn't feel with Persephone. There was just something spiritually and emotionally wresting about Persephone despite the fact that her victimhood made me cringe (to be honest) for a long time. But knowing her earlier stories and mysteries helps a lot. It's almost like Spirit shines little lights to guide our way and gives us little kernels of understanding, and we have to actually choose to take the journey into grasping the full picture -- how's that for agency! That's how I feel with this transformation in my view of Persephone. It makes me think of the idea that Wisdom is at the center of a great labyrinth, and our life's journey is to ultimately reach that center. The answers won't always be given to us upfront; sometimes we have to journey into what scares us, repels us, makes us feel ashamed, etc. to learn something (i.e. the Underworld). That's the Eleusinian mystery -- or perhaps one of them :) I feel like Persephone has led me onto this journey through her story. Thank you for this video!

i relate to her... now i realized i don't have to go through hard things... there is a easier + kinder way

This was such a wonderfully educational video! I've always been curious about Persephone, and now I realize that I relate to this archetype so much. Thank you for sharing this, I'll probably rewatch this video when I feel the need of reconnecting to her energy 💖

i looove ur necklace.

I relate to her 100%. In my own way. But women have been suppressed for way too long. And they are still working on making it worse. We all need to stand up. Men and women of this awakening.
