Persephone’s story has always fascinated me and I have always felt a draw to Her. However, I have never officially or formally worked with Her or introduced myself to her. @Francisco already kindly shared the link to the Spells8 course on Persephone.

I’d like to know what each God/Goddess represents & have some kind of idea of what I’m wearing. I hope that makes sense.
Anyway, I don’t know if anyone here works with Persephone. She is a dual deity. The daughter of Zeus & Demeter. The story i…

In Greek Mythology, Persephone is the daughter of Demeter who was captured by Hades and brought to the underworld. He eventually releases her but because she has eaten the pomegranate seeds in the underworld, she must live half the year with Hades.
Persephone represents the gentler side of the feminine. She also represents the dead, especially during the winter months, while in the summer months she is optimistic and child-like as she lives above ground.
Many witches choose to work with…
Then, as @Satans_Helper mentioned, YouTube is a great place to learn about how others practice and work with a deity. Here are a few videos that you might find interesting! Just as a note, I haven’t watched all of these videos so I can’t speak to their accuracy
