Descent of the Queen: Honoring Hekate & Persephone

​

As the autumn shift deepens, the wheel moves past physical harvests into the mysterious depths of the Underworld. The ancient myth of Persephone’s descent marks nature's surrender to the dark half of the year, while Hekate stands at the triple crossroads holding torchlight to guide the way.  

​This cosmic shift isn't something to fear; it is a spiritual rite of passage. Underworld deities remind us that dark seasons are essential for deep personal transformation, resting, and confronting our personal shadows. By honoring Hekate and Persephone, we learn to navigate moments of transition, uncertainty, and inner reflection with personal sovereignty and grace.
