The Transformative Power of the Underworld with Persephone

Persephone, Queen of the Underworld, transformed from an innocent into a powerful queen through her initiation in the Underworld.
In order to embody the energy of the Mystic and the Dark Goddess archetypes, it is necessary to descend into the shadow, to face your own ego death, so that you may rise in all of your power.
To do so ultimately activates not just these two archetypes, but that of the Queen as well.
Persephone’s story shifted and changed over the course of millennia, but in every version of her story, she goes into the Underworld as a maiden and rises as a sovereign being.
And her personal archetype is big in the world these days. If you have experienced early life trauma that unlocked your spiritual gifts and initiated you into the realm of the unseen, her archetype is strong within you. Understanding the power that it affords you is transformative.
Healing in the shadow realms of your own psyche is a potent opportunity to embrace your greater potential as a healer, mystic, psychic…
In this video, I share the gifts and challenges of the Persephone archetype as well as a tool to unlock what your subconscious is sharing with you.

Wow, I love this video so much. The story of Persephone's abduction was the first Greek myth that fascinated me and drew me into the entire world of Greek mythology as a kid. I remember reading about her kidnapping and thinking that there was something darkly romantic it -- something about Hades' desire for her felt hot in some way. But as I got older, I realized that that particular version of the story both attracted me AND repelled me because I did not like Persephone's lack of agency in it. I became ashamed of the fact that I found it romantic because she was a victim. Plus, my feminist awakening led to me being ashamed of finding Hades' actions sexy/romantic. There were some things about myself that I had to learn and come to terms with, but I felt like it was anti-feminist (and still do in some ways...). So I LOVE that you talked about the earlier versions of Persephone's story because it puts things into a greater perspective for me. I was familiar with Inanna's story and consciously appreciated Inanna's agency compared to Persephone, but for some reason I felt distanced from it in a way I didn't feel with Persephone. There was just something spiritually and emotionally wresting about Persephone despite the fact that her victimhood made me cringe (to be honest) for a long time. But knowing her earlier stories and mysteries helps a lot. It's almost like Spirit shines little lights to guide our way and gives us little kernels of understanding, and we have to actually choose to take the journey into grasping the full picture -- how's that for agency! That's how I feel with this transformation in my view of Persephone. It makes me think of the idea that Wisdom is at the center of a great labyrinth, and our life's journey is to ultimately reach that center. The answers won't always be given to us upfront; sometimes we have to journey into what scares us, repels us, makes us feel ashamed, etc. to learn something (i.e. the Underworld). That's the Eleusinian mystery -- or perhaps one of them :) I feel like Persephone has led me onto this journey through her story. Thank you for this video!

@@WeCaredALot I missed this! And I so appreciate your thoughts on it. It does make a huge difference to know the earlier story. And Persephone is so complex because of all this layering. I love how much you mean in to get to your truth. ♥️

This was such a wonderfully educational video! I've always been curious about Persephone, and now I realize that I relate to this archetype so much. Thank you for sharing this, I'll probably rewatch this video when I feel the need of reconnecting to her energy 💖

@@lopeztopia I’m so grateful to hear that! ♥️

I relate to her 100%. In my own way. But women have been suppressed for way too long. And they are still working on making it worse. We all need to stand up. Men and women of this awakening.

[@JanetRaftisChannel]

Yes, we are rising!!

[@grassgrees6728]
