The Rise of the Persephone

We know Mythology, correct?




Persephone to me embodies Women; through: change or transitions, the light & dark of life, the differences in a BiPolar brain, and so much more. 
The ‘Goddess’ being womanhood, and empowerment of such; a privilege; amongst weakness. It means true enlightenment of self, self-awareness, and fighting for what you believe to be right and just. 
Knowing your inner/outer strengths & limitations, and seeking the core answers in life; will release you from what’s holding you back...from being a true Goddess. 

Persephone spent half her year ruling, as the Queen of the Underworld, and the other during planting & harvest. 
While her worlds shifted often, she eventually found herself comfortable enough in both situations, to know that the inevitability of the transition was the painful part. 
During the Springtime, she got a chance to sow seeds of happiness (flowers), seeds of protection (trees), seeds of nourishment (grains and vegetables), and seeds of hope as well. 
During the Summertime, she got to frolick through the fields of flowers and tend to her beautiful gardens and forests. She would enjoy time with her friends, cater & host elaborate parties, create beauty where there wasn’t, and enstill a calm that was needed after she had been away; and Autumn & Winter showed their faces. 
In late Summertime, she would get everyone ready for the harvest, and her return to the Underworld...where responsibilities, and another life, awaited her. Persephone knew she was preparing for more than just harvest. It would mean retreating to a life with which she was more than comfortable...finally. 
She has come to expect the anxiety over leaving friends, to join other friends, and knows she’ll have to do that over, and over again; forever. 

Persephone had many, great adversities; despite her privilege of being a Goddess. And it’s so easy to get stuck on the negatives in extreme situations. 

Your path as a Goddess isn’t always about what obstacles are placed in your path. It is simply how you deal with the situation you are currently. It means acknowledging fully, your current situation. Who do you know who has been here? Another Goddess, perhaps? Do you need a Goddess, or someone there; and if so, who? Do you know how trustworthy the people in your inner circle are? Can any of them help you with this situation? Do you know their strengths and weaknesses? Do you have any news from Hermès, or any small puzzle piece that clicks? Is one of your Goddesses willing to go to war with you to resolve this situation? 
How a Goddess prepares to fight back, reflects highly upon her security within herself, and her true intentions will be noticeable. Her inner Warrior will reveal itself when it’s ready. A sigh of relief will come from her lungs. Because she isn’t alone. Persephone faces many adversities in her life, but she had her family around her throughout it all. She knew she had people who were not out to harm her, but to be there to lift her up, and reignite her passions, and awaken her soul again. To renew her purpose after she has been allowed her time to feel all the emotions over any situation. Yes, even a Goddess has feelings. 

How we react to adversity in life, shows our true selves. The way we chose to advance ourselves, reveals the ways we are comfortable acting. Who we stand next to, reveals as much about ourselves, as anything else.
