Life is not linear. During transitions we can often feel stuck, straddling between two worlds. Growth follows a similar path, at times leaving us not quite developed into our fullest expression, yet not fully who we once had been. It is this space of duality that governs Queen of the Underworld and Goddess of Spring, Persephone. And thus, she knows better than most how to sit in the feeling of uncertainty and transmute it into empowerment. She is masterful with the “and,” offering assurance to women that it is possible to do two things really well. Daughter and Lover. Healer and protector. Queen of death and Goddess of new life.
Though she handles her opposing roles with grace, the entire world feels the impact of Persephone’s absence. It is during her disappearance to the Underworld that life goes dormant and Winter thrives, only to be replenished by the promise of Spring upon her return. But regardless of which world she exists in, Persephone’s energy remains constant, abundant, and true. Her beautiful embodiment of duality is an expression of rebirth, affirming that energy flows in the direction of our intentions, and grass is greenest where we water it.
Call on Persephone to guide you through the darkest times of change, for she is a beacon of light, sent to instill hope and remind you that after every Winter, there is always a Spring. And our greatest power lies beyond permanence.
