Persephone – Greek Goddess of the Underworld, Spring, and Sacred Duality

CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE:

• Persephone is the daughter of Demeter and Zeus, known as the goddess of spring’s renewal and the Queen of the Underworld. Her myth, centered on her abduction by Hades and eventual ascent and descent between realms, symbolizes death, rebirth, and the cyclical nature of transformation.

• She represents the balance between light and dark, innocence and power, growth and descent—making her a central figure in the Eleusinian Mysteries, one of ancient Greece’s most sacred rites of initiation.

• In modern spiritual practice, Persephone is often revered as a guide through personal transformation, shadow work, and reclaiming power after trauma or transition.
