 Persephone, Goddess of Springtime, Flowers, Vegetation & Queen of the Underworld

“My darling, every flower on your earth withers. What Hades gave me was a crown for the immortal flowers in my bones.” ( x )

PERSEPHONE    – —     who impairs the mind of mortals and brings them forgetfulness.

persephone  ( Περσεφόνη  )   – —   in greek mythos, persephone was the goddess of the underworld and springtime and  the daughter of demeter and zeus. she was also called kore, meaning ‘maiden’ and grew up to be a beautiful goddess attracting the attention of many gods. homor describes her as a quite formidable, majestic queen of the underworld, who carries into effect the curses of men upon the souls of the dead. after her abduction and marriage to the god hades, she became queen of the underworld.

“Mother, he is a gentleman.
He is a builder with bricks of moonlight.
He knows the secret places of the earth.
He washes the sleep from the eyes of the souls.
He lets them look on beauty.
He lets them tell him they hate him.
In the mornings, I gather berries and apples.
I scrub his back with rind.
I weave spider-spit, eyelash.
He talks in his sleep pudding, fire, discus,
the things he misses.
He breathes, Your body is my orchard.
I am undulating grass.
I am a field of wheat he parts with his fingers.
Poppies bloom in my veins.
When he kisses me, he tastes pomegranate.
The night crawls nearer.
The moans of the dead roll and swell.
Mother, we are well.”
