In this podcast, I retell the last 7 years of Shadow Work through the lens of the Ancient Greek Myth of Persephone and her descent into the Underworld. Her myth gives us the framework to access and understand a Modern Journey of Ancient Wisdom. *This is an audio version of my youtube series of the same name.* When Persephone was young, she was a maiden named Kore. She was innocent, sweet and naive. She represents the part of us that gives to others freely and who dutifully plays the role that others need her to. One day, Kore is frolicking in a field and she see a Narcissus flower (planted by Hades - God of the Underworld). She's curious about the flower and desires it. She plucks it. This represents the part of us that gets curious about our own thoughts and feelings. When Kore picks the flower, this allows Hades to take her down into the Underworld. This is known as Kore's descent. In modern day, this descent often presents as "The Dark Night of the Soul", "The Void', or "The Spiritual Awakening". It is here, now, in the Underworld that Kore - or ourselves - will face our Shadows. The bits of us that we forgot or never got to know - because they weren't valued by society. This journey can take years. And when we're ready we ascend, we must claim all parts of ourself. We do this through "The Pomegranate Practice". We "eat" the seeds of the pomegranate, just like Persephone. This means claiming the gifts, the insights and the presence that we gained on the journey. And this is when we complete the journey and become: Queen Persephone.
