You may enjoy this writeup on Persephone I did exploring some themes around her mythology such as encounters with the unconscious, initiations, rebirth and focusing on inner needs.

Your article and the questions mirrored something I feel like I’ve been in Hades world for so long that I’m no longer whiling to come to the surface anymore. I have eaten the pomegranate seeds… but at the same time I’m on a constant battle with the people around me and myself too… thank you for the article.

Glad it brought some further considerations. Eventually Persephone has to emerge, or the cycle stalls. I think we often find ourselves there when re-emergence feels uncertain, hostile, etc. It helps me to ask, “What do I need to feel ready to leave the inner space/Hades and come back out to the world?”
