Persephone - She who walks in Shadow

05/27/23 • 40 min

This episode today explores Persephone, her known story as the bride of Hades, Queen of the Dead. But as her name means maker of death, I would propose that she always been the Queen of the Dead. My story today explores her origin, how did she become the queen of the dead if she was not swallowed up by the earth into Hades black chariot.
I have questions about how the destroyer touches us all. How many ways we destroy ourselves, feel the impact of destruction in our world through the environment, in violence, in our families, in deep grief and pain.
I propose that Persephone is not a dread lord, but someone that can be there, be present when we suffer.

In this episode, I have a ramble on self awareness and Athena’s backstory then give her a new story where she returns to one of her historical birth places.

How to name our suffering.
How to be present with our pain.
I do not want to kill monsters, to end the life of a murderous husband, but figure out where he comes from and listen to his story
I touch on accepting what makes us suffer and how we need to be present. To look it in the eyes. I retell the known Perrault version of Bluebeard and then retell my own version with a more fleshed-out heroine.
Here is the book that I mention at the end, which speaks of the ancestral wounding
