Hello! Loved this. It mirrors my own thoughts/feelings/musings about Persephone, whom I (obviously) identify a lot with.

Thought you might be interested that there is evidence that Persephone is potentially a much older and more powerful figure than Hades in the Mycenaean religion (1600-1100 bc) and was actually the Queen of the Underworld before him. Here's a video on it: : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ac5ksZTvZN8

Keen for your next piece! ❤️

I love the idea of you being led through the forest and midwifing creativity.

The Yellow Wallpaper! I have read CPG's biography and she was such an early feminist that I think she's been forgotten for being so.

I will never forget the imprint she left on my psyche. Thanks for reading! I love the idea of midwifing creativity, never really thought of it that way before :) Thx, Kristin!

IDK if you are a Tarot person, but this lovely essay reminded me of my Tarot teacher Carolyn Cushing at Soul Path Sanctuary (https://soulpathsanctuary.com/), who takes Persephone as a guide for tending the flow of communication between the living and the dead.
