Prayer to Persephone for hard times

This prayer was written by me, and is part of a series of prayers to recite when going through rough times. Everyone is going through the ringer right now, given the state of everything, so hopefully this can help you get through some tough things too. Enjoy!

Praise be to Lady Persephone, queen of the underworld,

Wife of stalwart Hades and daughter of bountiful Demeter, 

Fair maiden and fearsome queen in equal measure,

And hear me from your place in Hades/Your Mother’s Arms*

As I call out to you from a place of anguish!

You, O generous queen of Hades,

You who allow the dead to visit the living,

Who comforts the grieving as they weep,

Are a most beautiful goddess with the most charitable heart,

And for this, we mortals find comfort in your arms

Both before we pass into your realm and after.

You are the kind caretaker of the dead,

O gentle mistress of the dearly departed;

You represent change in all its forms,

Transitions within life and after it,

From maiden to bride, queen to daughter, and self to spirit,

And so I ask you to kindly guide me through these trials I face,

To take me by the hand and usher me down a different path.

May your sweet words clear away my despair and fear,

May your lovely visage remind me of the joys found in both life and death,

And may I never forget that it is always a gift to be alive,

That everyone has something to offer in this world,

And that I feel compelled to live my life to the fullest,

Even when it feels impossible.

I pray, bestow your blessings upon me,

O fair queen Persephone, 

And conscript the help of your husband Lord Hades

And your mother, O loving Demeter,

So that I may find a better path

Which I can walk down in peace.

Praise the great goddess Persephone,

The queen of all who brings forth flowers!

I begin to sing of Demeter, blond haired, and kind to the gods and man. Demeter Horaphorus (bringer of seasons) and her daughter Persephone Carpophorus (Bringer of Fruit) I praise and thank you both for granting the seasonal change as the fields weep when Persephone returns to the lower region.
