This blend was created to bring you closer to the archetype of this Goddess. Persephone is both the goddess of springtime & flowers, and the Queen of the Underworld - what a beautiful dichotomy! The story of Persephone is a powerful analogy for what happens when we walk through the fire of our pain and emerge on the other side, newly reborn. No matter how dark & hopeless the path before us may appear, spring will inevitably arrive again. Just as it is perfectly natural for the natural world to move through the seasons, it’s a normal part of this human experience to have ups & downs - times when we feel ourselves seamlessly blossoming and times when we are unsure if we will ever make it through the muck. In modern tellings of her myth, Persephone is often portrayed as a victim of circumstance but my experience with her tells me that she is a knowing and willing participant. She understands that in order to become herself, she must move through these initiations.

This medicine is for those times of initiation, when it’s easy to get lost in the fray. When we feel confused on our path, the archetype of Persephone reminds us to patiently trust. You are more than you’ve been led to believe. You are a unique force. Those times we spend in the underworld prepare us to more fully embody our emerging in the spring… and vice versa.

What words does Persephone whisper in your ear?
