making my husband’s lunch as an act of devotion to Persephone, drinking a girly little cocktail in bed with my pants off as an act of devotion to Persephone, watching trashy reality TV about love as an act of devotion to Persephone
every Monday I’m reminded She really is the coolest

Third in my goddess series! I originally had a completely different concept for this one since she was the goddess that I actually started with, but I’m happy that I pushed myself and ended up with something I love rather than like. ✨
Persephone teaches me that mothers are distant downpours, and mothers are shelters from storm. nothing can stop the hard freeze when she rains ice. some flowers will die and others remain steadfast, unshaken by cold shoulders and cold fronts. relationships with her will always be a cycle. even her warmth can be devastating. unseasonal temperatures teach us about loss and about rebirths, about fruitless expectations and unpredictability and forgiveness and beginning again. you will see new colors every year, golds and pinks and greens most dazzling- nurture what you can, be grateful for the fleeting time you have with what you cannot. mothers are nature, raging, cradling, impossible to live without and impossible to understand. I learn this from Her. I hold this knowledge close.
