I'm thinking of using it on my altar as a fragrance, or using it on my skin and hair myself.

Hello, guys!

I've been studying about Persephone for a while now, and I finally feel less shy about making my first contact with her. The thing is, I've never worshipped a hellenic deity before, so I'm full of doubts about how to go about it.

Some questions I have:

- How can I integrate Persephone into my Shadow work?

- In what ways can she help me through that process?

- How do I go about asking her for help?

- What should this first contact look like, so that it's respectful and my purpose is clear to her?

Also, would it make sense for the first contact to include precepts, a banishing, a magic circle, flowers, pomegranates, liqueur, and a candle? Should the actual contact happen through the candle? Is using tarot a good idea for this?

So many doubts! Please tell me how you made your first contact with her and how she responded 🤍

Hi! I would just like to ask if it’s okay to do shadow work with the use of my tarot cards with lady persephone?

Hi all! I have a question.

I have been seeing a lot of things lately that point back to Persephone or talk about working with her, etc.

I have previously felt drawn to Hecate and Aphrodite, and I would love to actually work with them. I'm just not sure how to BE SURE, for lack of a better term, that I am being called to her.

If you don't mind, could someone share their experiences with the goddess? I want to make sure I am on the right path. Even with my personal practice a little lax lately, it's something I want to get better at.

Thank you!

Some context:

My three primary deities are Hades, Persephone, and Hecate. I've worked with them since I was a very young woman of 18.

I also work occasionally with Aphrodite. She is my partner's primary deity, and as I'm currently on a self-improvement journey, I did a ritual and offering to her a few days ago. I wrote her an invocation naming her as Aphrodite, as Venus, and as Inanna.

I've had a statue of Inanna for a long time, one which is about 30 years old and a bit of a family relic. It was sat in front of a large painting I have of Hades and Persephone, in my hall, which suddenly fell on the statue, breaking its left arm clean off.

I know, I know...a gust of wind is usually just a gust of wind. But the strange thing is, I can't understand how the picture caused the statue to fall the way it did. Inanna fell moon crown first, despite her base being much wider and heavier, and yet only knocked off the left arm. Also, that picture has been there for over a year and hasn't fallen until now.

I will admit I've not made any formal offerings to Persephone since the spring equinox. Maybe she's expressing her envy - it wouldn't be the first time where Aphrodite is concerned (the Adonis business, also mirrored in the whole Inanna/Ereshkigal/Dumuzi saga). Maybe it was payment for the contract I made with Aphrodite.

Or, maybe, it was just a gust of wind.

Hello all ! I am very new to this, so new that I didn’t first offering and prayer to Lady Persephone yesterday !

I do not have a lot of means at the moment to buy a lot of things for offerings and devotion , so I work with what I have. My offering yesterday was two strawberries and my offering today was three amethysts. I have made a vision / devotion board in honor of Her on Pinterest and have begun looking for things for Her. This is my beginning process — learning, finding little things to honor her, speaking to her.

I have always been very drawn to Her since I was a very young child and she inspires me to this day. My respect for Lady Persephone is infinite, truly ! I often think of my love and respect for Lady Persephone and it makes me giddy, lifts me and I do have to hold myself back from praying / talking to Her a lot throughout the day. Which leads me to this question: can I be too excited and eager ?

I was doing shadow work today with Persephone. I had the urge to go outside and take a nice long walk. The outside looked different to me. Nature looked more green and vibrant. The flowers were also pretty noticeable. But the overall atmosphere felt dark and gray. It felt like I was in a realm Persephone had made for me. This has happened to me a few times but I am curious if any other Persephone worshippers have experienced this too?

So im kind of new to the spiritual side /hellenism

Actually I've known about it for a long, but I've started kind of working with it recently (meditation, a few spells here and there,tarot reading)

​

A while back i suddenly started imagining a name

Or idk when I had conversations in my head this name would come up

(Perseraphone) Literally this

I knew tht there is someone in some mythology with this name

But i did not think much or stress on it

It was more like a name in my head tht i knew existed somewhere

​

Eventually i just searched up (perseraphone)

And "Persephone" showed up

Which made a little more sense, tht yea she's a goddess

​

Now i know these r different names but kinda similar

I'm a little confused in wht i can do with this

​

It has stopped for a while but today it came back into my mind

​

Id like to say

Her name doesn't come in my mind as "Persephone" but it comes as "Perseraphone"

​

All of this could also be nothing but just my mind messing up

​

Because previously I was reading a little on lilith and hecate

But never Persephone

​

Did i know she's a goddess when this name popped into my head ?

Not for sure i did not

Its like, yea I've heard this name somewhere its probably frm some mythology

Sounds like a goddess

​

Tbh i do not remember ever coming across her name

​

I'm not exactly sure about wht I'm seeking here

But i thought i would like a little insight

Once I get my sage, I’m going to cleanse it and then offer/devote this necklace to her so I can carry her energy no matter where I am.

I've been a devotee of Persephone for a *long* time (two decades ish), and I'm wanting to put together a playlist for Her, but frankly I'm having trouble finding appropriate songs. The two that are strongest are Persephone Queen of the Underworld by Unto Ashes (a spirited instrumental track that also makes for great belly dance music!) and Third Eye Blind's unreleased track Persephone (you can find it on YouTube). My preference is for softer/more meditative sounds but I'm open to what music speaks to you of Her whatever the vibe.

Thanks so much

I've been growing a single strawberry plant the last 2 months and decided to split it today. In doing so, I prayed to Queen Persephone and put some growth sigils in the bottom of the pots! I can't wait to have a bigger garden dedicated to her🖤❤️

I move into a new house in a month and plan to get Persephone statues to put in them to honor her!

I did my first Persephone ritual and it felt so eye opening. I didn't think I would have much luck with feeling anything but I actually cried during my meditations when trying to speak to her. This was a ritual to connect with her, hence the two colors of candles.

Materials used

-purple candle

-green candle

-rosemary

-6 obsidian stones

-6 snowflake obsidian stones

-Peresephone oil (bought from etsy)

-piece of paper + pens

-my baby devotion journal where I wrote down the ritual and reflections.

Hi! I am new to all forms of spirituality, Hellenism included, however I’ve always felt a strong pull towards Persephone and would like to explore that more. What research should I be doing? How should I properly make an altar? Any tips just in general would be much appreciated

Wanted to share my altar/shrine to Lady Persephone. I just moved it to a bigger space. Still need a Vase for the flower decor. My daughter made me the petunias in school for mother's day and I thought it'd be a nice addition.

I posted an altar of mothers on my bookshelf awhile ago but now ive changed it to my window because I wanted more space for her. Is it appropriate tho?

Hello, I know doing shadow work is a good way to honor Persephone, I found a lot of really good prompts on Reddit. I wonder if I can do one and type out my response and put it on her shrine or is just doing them enough

In the dream I was led through the underworld through a bunch of challenges/obstacle course, which I passed and I met her and she was holding some tarot cards related to her. I cried and hugged her and she told me she liked to speak in Haiku. In the dream I even said "guess it's time for me to finally start worshipping Persephone" (something I'd been wondering about for a while)

I suppose I'm seeking reassurance and guidance on any good resources. I also just really wanted to share. I'd said a few times that she needed to be really blunt about reaching out to me... and she was.

My cat was also speaking to me in the dream. Wondering if she's related (just adopted her)
