Periods Suck. Witchcraft Helps.

When you recognize the signs that a spell you cast is working…

Who told you that goddesses were thin?

Brighid keeps the cows,

And cows are heavy work—

She’s all shoulders, hips, and thighs,

Strong for the lifting.

Her heart remembers the son she keened for,

And so does her belly.

 -

Stretch marks strike across Hera’s skin,

Lightning tattoos,

Fitting symbols of eternal loyalty.

Forever marked a wife, a mother,

Not a marble statue.

- 

On the shores of her birthplace,

Aphrodite comes up dripping,

Breasts heavy, hips rolling like waves.

In Mauritania she overflows:

Fat (no hiding from that word,

No shame)

Cascades from her arms,

Rolls over her middle,

Puckers her thighs.

On every beach she has cellulite—

She is goddess of beauty,

Not goddess of the impossible.

Everywhere, she is adored.

 -

Inanna, Queen of Heaven,

Feels no need to diminish herself

When the entire sky is hers to occupy.

P E R S E P H O N E                          Queen of the Underworld

I wanted pomegranates— I wanted darkness, I wanted him. So I grabbed my king and ran away to a land of death, where I reigned and people whispered that I’d been dragged. I’ll tell you I’ve changed. I’ll tell you, the red on my lips isn’t wine.

Hades & Persephone Worship

~ Shrine and Offering Ideas ~

So for colors, I like to mix both pastels/vibrant pieces, as well as dark, bleaker bits.

Persephone’s the goddess of Springtime, so flowers are nice, but she’s also the Queen of the Underworld. She’s a ruler, a goddess of darkness. Hades is the king of this realm of the dead, so both have those aspects of the afterlife.

Adorn their altar with bouquets as well as skulls. Recognize both of them and all of their traits :)

Here are some good things to decorate your altar with:

Flowers

Waterfalls/small fountains

Wreath of flowers (like a circlet)

Rams/Bulls

Birds (especially parrots, ravens, etc)

Bats

Seeds

Images of springtime or meadows

Anything to do with her being Queen of the Underworld,

such as a throne, etc.

Pictures of Cerberus

Coins/gems/valuables are all related to Hades

Pomegranates are good for Persephone

Bones/etc are neat decor pieces

Black cloth could go underneath everything to serve as an altar cloth

Shadowy artwork is something that I connect with Hades/Persephone

Black cups or bowls can be good for leaving offerings in

Candles

Things that you associate with the Underworld

Black Sheep

Screech Owls

These were (possibly) the flowers Persephone was gathering when abducted by Hades (good for shrine decor and offerings):

roses

irises

pansies

violets

hyacinth

crocuses

lilies

narcissus

Things to avoid:

Mint

Poplar

Offering Ideas:

Poetry or dark prose (H & P)

Gems/Coins/Crystals/Valuable Things (H)

Tea (Ideas below)

Earl Grey (H)

Hibiscus/Red Fruit Teas (H &P)

Harney & Sons Paris Tea (H & P) (Can’t remember who told me this was a good tea to use as an offering, but it’s a great for Hades when Persephone is away)

Pomegranate Tea (P)

Flowers (P)

Bones (H &P)

Candles (H &P)

Incense (H &P)

Wine (H &P)

Bread (I find that flavorful bread is something they like) (H &P)

Time spent reading to them (H &P)

Money (H)

Honey (P, sometimes H)

Artwork (H & P)

Figurines representing their sacred animals (H & P)

Living plants grown in their honor (H &P)

Informational books and articles written about death and funeral rituals from other culture (H, sometimes P)

~ Acts of Devotion ~

Hades

Take care of sick/elderly people

volunteer at animal shelters or walk your dog

Read up on rituals other cultures do when someone dies

Spend time cleaning up cemeteries and honoring the dead

Be fair and avoid doing things you know aren’t right

Spend time alone and reflect on yourself and what you think is important

Collect things from the Earth, like crystals or gems

Read up on Hades and his stories/myths/etc

Find out about who came before you in your family if possible, and figure out where they’re buried (if they are buried). Leave something like a flower or another offering there if you can

Persephone

Garden and grow flowers that will thrive in your climate. dedicate them to Persephone

Press flowers and use them as decorations/bookmarks/etc

Read and learn about the different uses for herbs and flowers

Read and learn about poisonous herbs and flowers

Be cheesy and eat Pomegranates

Write poetry or prose about Persephone’s grace, and also her power

Honor her as the Queen of the Underworld and also the goddess of spring

Grow Persephone’s sacred trees/plants or take care of the ones you see

Treat yourself to frolics on the meadow, but also to powerful activities in which you exercise your intelligence and persuasion

How to introduce yourself to them is linked here :)
