and so she was spring and death at once...

SIDE BLOG: I follow and like from her-dream-within-a-dream Persephone-centric witchblr and personal workbook Will include mythology, art, practice, worship tips, and aesthetics. (I live for moodboards!) I mostly reblog so nothing is mine unless I tag it as 'liminalwitch' I occasionally throw in Demeter, Hades and Hekate stuff too because... reasons

I have been dealing with a life change that I can’t talk about yet. It has taken all of my energy and I haven’t been able to keep up with my blogs. But I am hopeful that the move I am making will be a healthier choice. Much love to those that follow me (this or any other blog of mine). I am still here, just being a wallflower for now

it's rotten work but decay is an essential part of the cycle of death and rebirth

Digital Offerings for Lady Persephone

It is almost summer, and I wanted to offer Persephone offerings before she rests from the spring season.

Lost in Hell, — Persephone,

Take her head upon your knee;

Say to her, “My dear, my dear,

It is not so dreadful here”.

“Be to her, Persephone, All the things I might not be; Take her head upon your knee. She that was so proud and wild, Flippant, arrogant and free, She that had no need of me, Is a little lonely child Lost in Hell,—Persephone, Take her head upon your knee; Say to her, “My dear, my dear, It is not so dreadful here.”

— Edna St. Vincent Millay, Prayer to Persephone

[captainenjolras]

Hail the King and Queen of the Underworld! Loved by all & one another! Blessed and kind are they, just and righteous ones! Equals of the Underworld, those who look favorably upon the dead, hear my prayer. I thank Thee for being beside me. Oh, glorious husband and wife, who’s love fills even the darkest pits of Tartarus; I praise Thee. Blessed be the rulers of the Underworld; iron hand in iron hand they lead. Blessed King Haides and Queen Persephone, though as Queen You rule equally as Your King, I praise Thee. May your love shine through me

Prayer to Persephone ♥

Goddess of spring birth,

Dark Queen of the dead,

Guide me with your wisdom.

Lend me your strength.

Allow me to bask in your beauty.

Teach me to have courage,

and to love passionately and fiercely.

Blessed Dark Goddess,

I am yours to mould,

Amy adoration strong,

and my loyalty fierce.

My prayer to Persephone

O Persephone, Queen of the Underworld, Goddess of spring,

She, the lady who oversees the dead but the growth of grain as well,

You who dances lightfooted between the realms,

I praise your thrones and your temples;

I thank you for the long Summers and the long Winters too.

I bless you for your woes, away from whom you love,

You Queen of Hell, and hair of grain but taste of blood.

Destroyer of men, Maiden of Many Names,

I praise thee and your powers, as many as they are

For your youth and eternal life, for your death and eternal ties.

May the seeds that bind you, bring you the best eternal.

Effervescent, may the flame of your heart ever be glowing;

May the ones who you welcome into your home be as blessed as my guests are;

May our prayers to you be heard and accepted.

May we never take life for granted, even if we all come to you in death;

And may our youth be eternal. So long as our end is never yours.

Praise Persephone, to her our grain, our blood, our heart, our lives.

Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?

— more ways to connect with deities

see the first post here

wear devotional jewelry (typically a symbol that is associated with them, but can be anything as long as you designate it)

create something with them/for them (poetry, drawings, cook or bake, build something, etc)

research their myths

create playlists for them and listen to those playlists

do you like sandbox games? create a shrine, temple, altar, etc for your deities in those games (like minecraft, terraria, stardew valley, etc)

go on a walk outside and invite them with you

thank them. thank them for anything and everything

take care of yourself as a devotion to them. if you want to specify, you could do this with a deity that is more closely related to self care (my mind immediately goes to Aphrodite or Hera), but any deity would appreciate you taking care of yourself; they love you

set aside a day of the week to be “their” day and spend time with them, give them offerings, etc that day (some deities are associated with days of the week; apollo for sunday, artemis for monday, thor and zeus for thursday, to name a few)

be creative! above all, the gods like to see that you put thought and effort into your worship. it doesn’t have to be grand or expensive to be thoughtful, just heartfelt. may the gods be with you <3
