Persephone’s descent into the underworld is more than myth
it’s a story of initiation
When Persephone was taken by Hades
only Hekate heard her cry
Not the distant gods
but the one who stayed and walks in shadow
Hekate became the torchbearer
The guide between worlds
The presence that sees in darkness
Persephone returns not as a victim
but as Queen of the Underworld
And Hekate remains beside her
guardian of thresholds
keeper of the path
This is the truth
We don’t avoid the descent
We learn to see within it
