My best devotional act for all the deities I work with is to stay alive and well. I promised that I would heal and move onwards. This is just how simple and joyful devotional acts are.

I am still alive in a good state and healing after depression.

This is the best devotional act I could've done.

🥀Book Review: Persephone's Pathway: Wisdom, Magick & Growth by Jennifer Heather

Full Title: Persephone's Pathway: Wisdom, Magick, Growth Author: Jennifer Heather Published by: Heather Publishing (seemingly self published) 2020 Good Reads: Link My Quick Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5) stars. Persephone’s Pathway which while flawed and at times meandering is perhaps the best resource available for the modern pagan worshipping or working with Persephone and I wholly recommend it. Official Blurb: Persephone's Pathway is one of balance and duality; embrace the dual goddess archetype of Underworld Queen and Spring Maiden in order to achieve harmony. This book shares the wisdom of Persephone, along with spells and rituals to help you in your daily life. Shadow work exercises encourage you to work with the Underworld aspect of the Dark Goddess, whilst flower magick celebrates the joy and gentleness of the Spring Goddess. Blend the dark and light aspects together to experience how they shine a light on each other in this celebration of wholeness and authenticity. Personal Reason for Purchasing: Was looking for a pagan/witchy perspective on Persephone and stubbled across this one. (Bought from Amazon UK)

Overview of the book's contents. Introduction: A solid introduction, focusing on what the purpose of this book will be, and the author’s goals in writing it, namely ‘an exploration of the mythology and Symbolism surrounding Persephone, along with chapters dedicated to a facet of what she can teach us’, ‘both a collection of information and tribute to her’. Chapter 1: 'Who is Persephone': Introduction to Persephone, her role, dual nature, The Eleusinian mysteries, possible connections to Erishkegal (a mesopotamia goddess originating 4000 BC), and of course the Homeric Hymn to Demeter. Chapter 2: 'Historic Origins': An exploration of the genesis of Persephone in Mythology, through to the Evolution of her story in present day literature. (A personal highlight). Chapter 3: 'A Myth Retold': A modern retelling of the hymn to Demeter by the author. Chapter 4: 'Symbolism': An exploration of the artefacts associated with Persephone, both modern and ancient, the creation of a unique glyph/sigil for Persephone and an extensive and detailed discussion of association/correspondences, some ancient, some contemporary and lastly her common epithets. Chapter 5: 'Creating an Altar': A collection of suggestions and guidelines on creating your own altar for Persephone and common offerings to gift the Goddess. Chapter 6: 'Persephone Magick: Begins with a basic beginners to magickal practice, followed by a recipe for a Persephone Anointing oils, a guide to connecting to Persephone, an innovation and an adaption of the Orphic Hymn to Proserpina.

The Seeds of Persephone A collection of chapters surrounding what the Author considers to be the six core aspects/values which Persephone embodies. Seed 1: 'Union': Focuses on Shadow-work, divine alignment for body and Spirit union, and includes a spell for Spiritual union of lovers, guidance surrounding meditation, shadow-work rituals, and a recipe for a love attraction oil. Seed 2: 'Balance': Begins with a discussion of how to, and the importance of maintaining balance in one’s life, including a meandering discussion of grounding, living with the seasons, incorporating nature into your life, meditation, seasonal altars, self-care, massage, and yoga. Lastly it includes recipes for a Persephone Beauty Elixer’ cream/lotion, a medicinal tonic, a spell for resolution, and a spell for making a decision. Seed 3: 'Intuition': Looks at ways to develop one’s intuition, including an outline for a Persephone focused Lithomancy technique (10 planetary stones, 6 Persephone stones (named for each of the author’s ‘Seeds’: Fertility, Justice, Balance, Union, Sovereignty and Intuition), three tarot spreads and the script for a guided meditation. Seed 4: 'Sovereignty': Is a discussion of [personal Sovereignty, and self-esteem, with journal prompts. Guidance on enchanting a power talisman, and a spell for protecting personal boundaries. Seed 5: 'Justice': Focuses heavily on Persephone in her Queen of the Underworld Aspect, touching on several myths in which she acted as a Purveyor of justice, (Orpheus and Psyche, and a discussion on Trust in regards to the Goddess. Followed by Several spells for truth telling, reflection on behaviour and fair resolutions. Seed 6: 'Fertility': Focuses on Persephone's Spring/Maiden Aspect. Followed by a discussion of Maiden goddesses, Flower Magick, creating Floral elixirs, cleansing sprays, a flower bathing ritual, and spell jars/Witch’s bottles. Followed by the Associations/correspondences and finally a script of a guided meditation, to meet Persephone in her Spring Aspect. Appendix: The Orphic hymn to Proserpina, translated by Taylor Thomas 1792.

Personal Thoughts and Review. I’m conflicted about this book. The first half is an excellent primer on Persephone and including her into one’s personal practice however, the second half the ‘Seeds of Persephone’ are at times Meandering, unfocused and clumsy, but there are jewels among the ramblings.

The book appears to be self published, so I’m inclined to be kinder to the Author than I would otherwise be; however, Persephone’s Pathway could really use reformatting (text justified etc), and would benefit immensely from an informed and passionate editor. Nevertheless this book is an excellent edition to the libraries of those of us who work with Persephone.

Aspects in detail. General content: The first half goes over a lot of content around Persephone, in some detail and is appropriately referenced through allowing the reader to research further. The Second half (the Seeds) is a mixed bag and approaches certain subjects extremely casually, namely Shadow-work and herbal medicine. Persephone’s correspondences: Primarily contained to Chapter 4, the Correspondences are in depth, reference and diverse. However, there are inaccuracies, the most obvious is a mention of Corn/Maize being cut as a part of the Eleusinian Mysteries. As a New World crop Corn was not in ancient Greece at the time and as such has no historical connection to the Mysteries. From my own understanding the crop cut during the Mysteries was likely Barley, a grain though to have great significance to the Eleusinian Mysteries as a part of the hallucinogenic cocktail thought to be drunk by initiates, barley is also part of the offering given by Oddyseus to summon Persephone (“first with milk and honey, then with sweet wine, then with water; and sprinkle white barley-meal above”). Rituals and Spells: It’s Always interesting to see another practitioner's approach, and covering a very broad scope although, I wish they were indexed since they appear throughout the book. Origin Myth retelling: An interesting retelling, possibly my favourite version, however it is not without flaws. Guided Meditations: Enjoyable and Interesting, these scripts approach many aspects of Persephone’s Mythos. Journaling Prompts: These appear seemingly at random in the latter half of the book, but are nevertheless thought provoking. Recommended Reading: While good to see, it is worthy of note that none of these books reference Persephone, Hellenic Polytheism, or Shadow-work. Which are the topics I would like to see additional material given some of my concerns with the book itself. Bibliography: Extensive and good practice.

The Seeds in Detail. Given their significance to the book I’ll review these chapters separately: Union: a clumsy chapter whose advice on Shadow-work is surface level and possibly dangerous for a beginner or someone who is mentally vulnerable. But this chapter does handle the topic of Love workings with the required levity. Balance: Waffling and honestly feels like filler, of the seeds this one is disappointing and feels like lost potential. Intuition: a major highlight of the book, a detailed exploration of Lithomancy, well written and thought provoking. Sovereignty: A good chapter, if a little long winded. Justice: Spectacular, discussion of Queen Persephone and of how to connect to the Underworld Aspect. A personal highlight. Fertility: An excellent close to the book but desperately needs reformatting.

Final Thoughts. I wholly recommend this book especially as a gateway into working with or worshipping Persephone. Despite its flaws, it is the best resource I’ve found on Persephone from a pagan/witch perspective, and my practice is better for reading it.

[themiskyrra]

Me: since I got sick it’s so hard to do any worship

King Hades: have ten coins

Queen Persephone: my favourite song in her worship playlist plays on the radio

Lord Hermes: is a winged man in the clouds

Lord Apollo: best sunrise of my life

[delacrvix]

Them 🥹

I feel like we don't give enough appreciation to the fatherly side of the gods. How about Zeus, who taught young Artemis archery? How about Poseidon, who proudly made Triton his herald? How about Ares, who carefully brushed Eros' wings? How about Hades, who lovingly lulled baby Zagreus to sleep? How about THAT

Lesbian identity describes specific gender relations within our established patriarchy, and part of those gender relations is as women or women-adjacent people who do not willingly form sexual or romantic relationships with men outside of sex work or other similar survival needs.

I'm similarly opposed to TME people claiming the transfem label. Fuck off.

🥀Book Review: Pagan Portals: Persephone by Robin Corak

Full Title: Pagan Portals: Persephone, Practicing the Art of Personal Power. Author: Robin Corak Published by: Moon Books (John Hunt Publishing) 2020 Good Reads: Link

My Quick Review: ⭐⭐⭐ (3/5) stars. A good Persephone themed self-help book, touching on shadow work, Persephone's Mythos and with some interesting resources. I recommend it but not enthusiastically.

Official Blurb: Embark upon a powerful journey with Persephone, queen of the Underworld and Goddess of Spring, as she helps you discover your personal power and take control of your life. Personal Reason for Purchasing: I was familiar with several other Books in the Pagan Portals and bought this one hoping for a primer on Persephone's Mythology and modern pagan practice. (Bought from Amazon UK).

Overview of the book's contents. Introduction: An Introduction to the Author, their Personal Practice and their Experience Working with/Learning from Persephone. Chapter 1: 'From Helpless child to Powerful Woman'. A basic but welcome introduction to the core Myths of Persephone, The Homeric Hymn to Demeter, and a Personal retelling by the Author of the Abduction of Persephone by Hades, told from Persephone's Perspective and with a core theme of empowerment, self-determination/personal sovereignty. Includes journaling prompts. Chapter 2: 'The Eleusinian Mysteries'. An Overview of the Eleusinian Mysteries with discussion surrounding what they may have entailed and the possible lessons/take-aways initiates would have received. Includes journaling prompts. Chapter 3: 'Descent and Ascent'. Primarily a self-help section, discussing Persephone's personal ascent and descent into the Underworld and her growth from it. followed by an exploration of how such an ascent and descent into the shadow self might promote growth in the reader. Including the script for a guided meditation and journaling prompts. . Chapter 4: 'Persephone as a Psychopomp'. An Exploration of Persephone as a Psychopomp (defined as 'a guide with the realm of souls'), touches on the idea of Persephone as a Triple Goddess, with a description of the Nekromanteion. Followed by a discussion of how to access ancestral wisdom, the wisdom of ones own subconscious. Including the script for a guided meditation and journaling prompts. . Chapter 5: 'Persephone and the Art of Discernment'. Focusing on discernment (defined as 'acute judgement and understanding'), with suggestions on how to develop this skill. Includes several divination/discernment techniques using bay leaves. Includes journaling prompts. Chapter 6: 'Rituals for Persephone'. Includes rituals from the dark and light half of the year (one ritual for each) and the script for a guided meditation with the aim of building personal sovereignty and highlights themes discussed in previous chapters. Chapter 7: 'Forging the Path: Additional Methods for Connecting with Persephone'. Begins with an extensive list of correspondences, several chants/invocations, recipes for a Persephone Incense/Bath Tea and an anointing oil, with some discussion of the ingredients' significance. Followed by an explanation for a unique Divination style using Lithomancy dedicated to Persephone known as 'Persephone's Seeds of Wisdom'. Chapter 8: 'Persephone's Feast'. Contains several culinary recipes incorporating foods sacred to Persephone or with 'Greek Flavour', contributed by Steven Corak. (Recipes are as follows: Greek summer salad : Pomegranate vinaigrette : Pomegranate chicken and kale : Pomegranate reduction : Persephone's Pastries) Conclusion: It is a conclusion, with some final journaling prompts.

Personal Thoughts and Review. While I was hoping for an overview of Persephone's: myths, cults, correspondences etc, what this book is at its heart (imo) is a pagan self-help (maybe shadow-work) book using Persephone as inspiration and theming.

While a generally pleasant and quick read (around 95 pages of text) there are portions where sentiment is repeated and perhaps hammered home a little to hard, however for what this book is rather than what I wished it to be, Pagan Portals Persephone is an excellent example of how to learn from myth and grow from the lessons + experiences therein, and I do recommend it to those interested in Persephone from a Pagan perspective, but it probably shouldn't be your first book on the Goddess.

Books Content in detail. General content: Pretty surface level, but well done given the short page count. Journaling exercise: Themed primarily around shadow work, the questions were In depth and thought provoking (however, as a Masc (he/him) individual I did notice they were written assuming for a Fem reader). I found them useful and have completed the exercise twice so far and have learned more of myself each time. Origin Myth retelling: Interesting and inspiring but undoubtedly written with the lens of supporting the ‘self-help’ personal sovereignty narrative of the book. Persephone’s correspondences: Broad but far from exhaustive, simply a non-referenced list. Rituals and Meditations: Interesting as always to see another practitioner’s approach, I did notice certain Wiccan elements (casting circles, Athame/tools, ‘So mote it be’) not a complaint but worthy of note. Recipes: I’m not qualified to answer this, and food quality is always down to personal taste anyway. However, it is an interesting concept. Persephone’s Seeds of Wisdom: A personal highlight from the book, I use a modified version of this method in my own practice.

The most interesting hot takes from the book. Triple Goddess Persephone: While a throw away comment in Chapter 4, the idea of Persephone embodying all Three aspects of the Triple Goddess (namely the Maiden, Mother, Crone archetypes) is interesting, and has inspired me to explore the idea further. Personal Myth Retelling (Mythic fanfic): It is definitely decisive to rewrite myth within pagan circles, but isn’t that what Humanity have done from the Dawn of time, and perhaps by personally retelling Persephone’s transition from Kore to Queen, we might learn which aspects of the Myth, Goddess and their role in our practice are most influential to us as individuals. (Obviously attempting to masquerade one’s personal retelling (myth Fanfic essentially) as the one true version is mind numbing, but on a personal level it may be useful.)

Final Thoughts. While not what I expected, Pagan Portals Persephone has taught me alot, and added to my personal practice, but I am glad I got the this book while equipped to recognise what the text is missing.

[pomegranate-skulls]

Introduction

My name is Meg. I identify currently as a Hellenic NeoPagan. I follow a blend of Wicca and Hellenic Pagan practices. I am new to the practice and am trying to find my way with my spirituality.

More about my spirituality below.

My Journey

I first felt called to Paganism back in 2021. I was experiencing my independence for the first time, in a way. I had returned to college after the pandemic and had my own space, and a life severely lacking in the christian rituals of my childhood.

I had always considered myself an ominist. Who is anyone to say one religion is real while disregarding the beliefs and practices of others. We all see the divine through different lenses, and as divine light refracts, those deities too become real through belief and worship. (This is my own personal understanding of the world, no better than anyone else's)

Paganism called to me - its rituals and deep history. Its ability to be all encompassing, and yet deeply personal and singular.

I had only begun to start my research into the subject when I returned home after I graduated, and for my own feeling of safety, I stopped practicing.

And now I have returned to it, trying once again to dive into the practice - but I still live with my parents so I have to be discreet and careful.

My Deities:

The Triple Goddess -

The Maiden: Persephone 🥀

The Mother: Demeter 🌾

The Crone: Hecate 🔮

At first I wanted to closely follow Wicca as my guide to paganism. I chose to follow the divine feminine - I have always been called to it. As a storyteller I love exploring the intricacies of femininity, and as a woman I find myself pulled towards everything traditionally thought of as feminine. Softness, motherhood, and protection.

But as I started to implement it in my life, I felt more drawn to hellenic practice. I have always felt a bond with the greek gods (I was a PJO fan - but even more than that I always felt I could differentiate who the gods really were rather than what the characters were in the book. And even before that I was a greek mythology nerd.) So I have chosen to follow that instinct.

Hades: Lord of the Dead, King of the Underworld 💀

As he and Persephone are equals, I found it fitting that I should honor both masters of the underworld. Where there is life, there is death, and there is no celebrating life without death.

[sag-dab-sar]

Hi friend <3

I noticed your pfp is of a veiled person, and you frequently reblog images of veiled people tagged as (something like) "aesthetic." I was wondering if this is simply an aesthetically pleasing thing to you, or if you do veil in your real life. If you do veil, do you think you could speak on that a little bit?

Thank you (o:

Hello 🤍🤍🤍

The tag #aesthetic is technically for anything I associate with Gods or spirits... what gives off their ✨vibes✨, artwork that reminds me of them, or artwork of them.

Personal stuff so cut

🥀

The veiled lady, specifically the one whose veil is fully over her face (and especially if it is sheer) relates to ongoing UPG.

If I could veil with a sheer cover like a grieving Victorian widow... at this point I'd totally consider it. But that isn't exactly socially acceptable or familial acceptable so I'll just put that complete fantasy to the side. The UPG is why I have blogs/reblogs of it so often nowadays. But I'll keep the rest of all this UPG to myself for now...or forever...who knows.

As for veiling face in general that is actually used in society (i.e things like niqab) I don't know if current styles meet the ideal that is in my mind and heart�� and again family acceptability is unfortunately very important.

🥀

As for head veiling, I don't right now but I did in the past for a few years. It was a combination of religious— primarily honoring Hestia as I was taught in a FB group—but also personal, related to bad agoraphobia w/ PTSD I experienced at the time; which had no religious connotations. It was simply empowering & comforting, this is my body you see what I want you to see. I felt naked without it. I wore niqab once (without family knowing) to see if it would help and it kind of did and kind of didn't so I only tried it once.

As for experiences, it can be frustrating to learn depending on style but once you do its no different than styling hair. I met quite a few Muslims who assumed I was Muslim at first but when I explained I wasn't they were fine with it and we usually had a conversation, I suggest learning the Islamic greeting. I did get harassed, someone on campus yelled at me as I tried to walk into a building to "go back to my own country," I was shaken up but had tunnel vision on getting an assignment in on time that my mind let me wait 10 minutes before freaking out— don't be surprised if you are harassed or face negativity if you choose to veil. I did in other moments that were less bold face.

🥀

Right now choosing to veil would be UPG based religious not historical. But I have been looking for any possible Mesopotamian traditions and want to read up more on Hellenic traditions.

[delacrvix]

Here ! I haven’t practiced for nearly 3 years and I’ve been suddenly pulled back by the deities 😅

Hey witchy side of Tumblr.

Has anyone who used to practice, or doesn't practice regularly, or even has-little-to-no-experience-but-still-feels-a-little-witchy-on-the-inside been feeling a strong pull back / into it recently?

No transandrophobia bros.

No SWERFs or otherwise people with conservative and/or reactionary views around sex work and sex workers. Sex work on itself is neutral like most other forms of compensated labor, and the more we stigmatize, criminalize and/or marginalize the work itself and its workers, the more we create space for coercion, violence, abuse and trafficking within or masquerading as sex work. Sex workers are no more "selling themselves/their bodies" than other workers slowly but surely permanently disabling themselves for a paycheck. The key to the safety of sex workers is giving them workers' rights because we live under capitalism hell, not berating them, patronizing them, or much less jailing them. Similarly the products of sex work (such as porn) often do contain misogyny... As do the products of law workers, marketing workers, creative workers, construction workers, healthcare workers, and so on. Because we live in a misogynistic society, stupid. Same for all other forms of bigotry often found in porn. You're not exempt, they're not worse than you.

Praise Lord Hades !

So a lot of stuff happened, dont feel comfortable to say but I did want to say this Last night I had a hard time and Hades came into my room (long story) and said this one thing that I think is forever going to be stuck in my head This tides in with suicidal thoughts, there's nothing descriptive He said this (he said some parts of this; I felt the urge to say more now) "I will not welcome you in the underworld as you will not be entering it. The carryman will not accept your coin and bring you to the Underworld as you will not be there. No matter how many tries, you will not be seeking to join the Underworld. You will be on Earth until your body is ready to go. Your mind is not your body. Do not confuse it with your body. Hold on strong." I don't know why I'm posting it. I had to make sure it wasn't for narcissistic reasons. I NEED to say this. I NEED TO SAY IT. I don't know if Hades wants me to share this but Aphrodite is suggesting it If I NEED this then YOU need this. Hold onto the divine. You will survive through this like I will. Put trust in your faith, even if it is terrifying YOU got this. I got this. WE ALL got this. I didn't mean to make it so emotional. But if the God of Death saying he wont accept you when you die because its not ready to go, proving the fact that this is meant to happen on your path with them, to trust them and continue your life, its really sad and good to hear :(

i dont wanna stop texting about this its such a powerful emotions its just FUCK. THANK YOU for this hades THANK YOU Lord Hades. THANK YOU.
