let me fix the lie: nobody grabbed, nobody pulled. i jumped. persephone lied

I don’t have a very good relationship with my own mother; but happy mother’s day to some other important women/goddesses in my life.

Persephone is like a mother to me (i call her mama) (its mostly to differentiate, i have 3 moms and 3 dads)

Aphrodite is newer in my life but shes been a big help and I’ve learned a lot from her

Hecate is one of my patrons and ive learned alot under her guidance

Hera is someone who that looks after one of my friends and has also supported me and ive learned alot from.

through zeus, demeter became the mother of persephone. when persephone was taken to the underworld by hades, demeter searched everywhere to find her missing daughter to no avail. when she was informed that hades had taken persehone, demeter neglected her duties as goddess of agriculture, plunging the earth into a deadly famine where nothing would grow, causing mortals to die. zeus ordered hades to return persephone to her mother to avert the disaster. however, because persephone had eaten food from the underworld, she could not stay with demeter forever but had to divide the year between her mother and her husband, explaining the seasonal cycle, as demeter does not let plants grow while persephone is gone.

P E R S E P H O N E | Περσεφόνη ☰ goddess of spring, daughter of zeus and demeter, wife of hades. queen of the underworld.

come springtide I am bound to earth to my mother’s sunfilled meadows, her unequivocal, enduring love. and by the fading light of summer I return to my lover’s onyx walls and cimmerian heart. I cherish both but they know they would have no claim on me if I did not desire it for I belong to myself, I am only my own— half blooming creation, half blazing hellfire. he calls me his lady but he knows I am a queen. x

❝ I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz, or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off. I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers; thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance, risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body. ❞ 

― Pablo Neruda, XVII (I do not love you...)
