🥀 Worshipping Lady #Persephone 🌷

Persephone (#Kore) is the Goddess of Spring, Queen of the Underworld, Wife of #Hades, and Daughter of #Demeter.. and she is still SO much more than that!
I’ve created this thread for myself and in the hopes that it may be helpful to someone else wishing to learn, study, and worship Lady Persephone. 💕

🖤💗 So you want to bring more of Our Lady Persephone's qualities into your life..?

First, recognize that everything you do to nurture your own sensual enjoyment of life will help enlarge the influence of Persephone within most of your personal life! She wants you to remember to stay close to your inner child and to remember who you really are at your core.

💕 Easy Ways to Worship as a #PersephoneDevotee -- I - X

🖤🥀 I • Start by slowing down!

Like Our Lady Persephone herself, take time to stop and smell the flowers! Make it a point to watch a #Sunrise or #Sunset on occasion, even if it means losing a few extra minutes of sleep. She wants you to experience the world with a great big 'WOW' more often!! Allow yourself to soak in #Positive energies whenever you’re able to reach them, there's so much more in life to #Enjoy than you’d think.

💗🌷 II • Persephone blossomed from a naive and innocent young #Child; into a self-confident #Queen almost overnight!

Find a picture of yourself as a young child, place it in a lovely frame, and set it out where you can see it and admire how #Vulnerable and innocent you were then. (I chose a picture on the railroad tracks, back when I still lived in the 'Grafton House' (one of my three childhood homes) Everything felt so much simpler back then, everything felt like… I had so many options open ahead of me, it's crazy to look back and see that now!)

🖤🥀 III • Take time to think about your #Past:
• What were the things you did that felt #Heroic..?
• What once caused you #Embarrassment or #Pain..?

#Write these down and review them frequently and allow yourself to release any #Negative thoughts that you formed against yourself. You may not have felt heroic, but you’ve #Learned so much from the past, and you’ve saved more people than you’d think. Embarrassment, like pain, only lasts so long. You have to remember to be #Kinder to yourself.

💗🌷 IV • Persephone, as Queen of the #Underworld, was known as a #Gracious and welcoming hostess.

Practice really giving your full attention to someone else; listening to them with both your #Heart and an #OpenMind. May it be your child, your partner, or your friend; show them your #Love! I’ve been trying to practice more than I preach, I want people to feel like they can reach out to me and that I’ll be here to listen whenever they actually need me.

🖤🥀 V • Find an open weekend, and leave all your adult responsibilities behind for just a day or two; now it's time to #PLAY!

Don't worry what other people will think, call it a #MentalHealth weekend if it makes you feel better, but whatever you do, just allow yourself to exist! It’s about time we had time with just ourselves, we need to remember how to vibe alone in our own #Energy even occasionally.

💗🌷 VI • Move toward letting go of Old #Resentments.

If you cannot forgive, at least accept with understanding! Let go of the hate for someone who you feel betrayed your #Youthful innocence by forcing you to assume #Adult responsibility before you were ready (Such as my relationship with my bio mother)

🖤🥀 VII • Check that your #Passions and #Attention aren't being divided.

Sometimes you need to channel your energy into fewer and more #Rewarding directions. Visualize what you want to happen and repeat it until your positive thoughts become a #Habit and your #Intentions a reality!

💗🌷 VIII • Work on trusting that it is #Safe to express your feelings even if it means risking hurt.

Let others know how you feel about them, even if it's not something good. Often they too may be looking for someone's blatant #Honesty! Remember, the truest of friends are the honest ones.

🖤🥀 IX • Stay #Young, #Wild, and #Free!

Pick fresh flowers, go to parks, play on swings, and do silly things like whistling while you work. Focus on developing a free #Spirit and enjoy the spontaneous #Pleasures that are so freely available in this life if you know where to look!

💗🖤 X • Surround yourself with Persephone's symbols.

Share her youthful energy by carrying her favorite crystals, dress in her colors, or spray the scents of lavender and vanilla on all your linens. #Embrace Persephone in everything you do to encourage her energies around you!

Hello, Everyone~ if you don't already know, my name is Shwee! 💙

🌟 My Links: https://iamshwee.carrd.co

Thought I'd do a #New little #Introduction about myself to go along with the new aesthetic and environmental changes I'm building here-- So, here goes nothing!

I am a Shadow Worker, Hellenic Witch, and Persephone Devotee who focuses on sharing tips, tricks, and more with the Witchcraft and Pagan communities. You'll often see me sharing my own personal favorite self-love affirmations, mantras, self-care rituals, and daily writing prompts for those following me while on their own Shadow Work journeys!

Over the last two years on the 'birdsite' I've created a vast collection of Shadow Work prompts, all of which I have used to build calendars, a pyramid system, as well as many other threads and daily writing prompts-- All of which I would love to start sharing HERE as soon as possible!! 🖋️

One main thing to know about me however is that I occasionally post (with CW) about my personal struggles with Depression, Infertility, Borderline Personality Disorder, Oneirophrenia, and other Mental Illness as well as references to Marijuana use. But I will ALWAYS mark these posts with CW to ensure the comfort and safety of my friends and followers here!!

As Her stories go, Lady #Persephone once blossomed from a naive and innocent young child called #Kore -- into a self-confident and authoritative Queen of the Underworld almost overnight! 👑

While my 30th Birthday is right around the corner (Dec 26th) I've been thinking a lot about the younger version of myself who fantasized about the type of woman I might be at 30.. and honestly? I think she'd be rather proud of how far we've come (and a little surprised to still be here in the first place lol) and at 15 I'd like to think I would look up to who I am today.

:flowercrown: So in the honor of your own innocence and how far YOU have come -- here is a mini #PersephoneDevotee exercise to harness some of that energy:

• Find a picture of yourself as a young child
• Place it in a lovely frame and set it out where you can see it (if a physical frame isn't available you can leave room on the edges for doodling)
• Every time you see this photo, admire how vulnerable and innocent you were then, and you can use this as a reminder during your #ShadowWork as well!

(I personally chose a picture on the railroad tracks, back when I lived in one of my childhood towns.. Everything felt so much simpler back then, everything felt like… I had so many options open ahead of me, it’s crazy to look back and see that now 🌷 I will have to upload said picture at a later date...)

As a #PersephoneDevotee I have a number of things I carry with me or hold onto in order to invoke more of her energy into my daily life. One of my absolute favorite things I own for my devotion is a handmaid rosary 📿

So, I wanna scream a giant shout-out to @GoatfootGothi and thank them repeatedly once again for this gorgeous #Persephone rosary he made specifically for me!

If you look closely, you'll see a tiny skull that is actually bone, which has to be one of my favorite aspects of it! 🦴 Thank you so so much again dear. You have no idea how happy and blessed I feel when I have this on me 💗

My current favorite way of centering myself in the morning is actually just observing the sky on my drive to work. In an attempt to feel closer to myself and the world around me, I'm starting to slow down! ☁️

Lady #Persephone herself takes time to stop and smell the flowers, or even lay in them a little bit! By making it a point to watch a sunrise or sunset on occasion, even if it means losing a few extra minutes of sleep, you are allowing yourself to #Experience life instead of simply living it.

Persephone wants all #PersephoneDevotee (and that includes YOU!) to experience the world around us with joy, excitement, and a great big 'WOW!!' far more often!! 🌇 ⛅

Fellow #Devotees of all and every form: What do you like to do within your day in order to check in with or send devotion to your #Gods or #Deity of choice?

As a #PersephoneDevotee myself, I've created a morning routine that caters to my needs of asking #Persephone to guide me and protect me throughout the day!

I know many people practice their craft without any form of divine intervention or inclusion at all, but I do love to see how fellow devotional pagans like to practice with their personal connections. ❤️

🌷🥀 #PersephoneDevotee Tip of the Day!

"To #Invoke is to call upon the cosmic energy of the universe and petition if for support or assistance. You may choose to do invocations to #Persephone during spell work to add connection and strength to your own intentions, or you may wish to recite an invocation when you are making offerings or before meditations. #Invocations can be elaborate or simple with the purpose being to foster a connection between yourself and the deity, in this case Persephone, that you call upon within your #witchcraft and practice."

💖✨ Invocations to #Persephone ✨💖

Hear me Persephone, Maiden of light,
Be with me Persephone, Queen of the night.

Lend me your wisdom, your
clear sight and justice,

Shroud me with sanctuary,
this space encompass.

Help the seeds of my labour to
take hold and grow,
Abundant blossoms above,
sturdy roots below.

When the blooms are all spent
and to death they sojourn,
Receive them sweetly in darkness
before their return.

Blessed Persephone, Spring maiden of birth, Thank you Persephone, fair Goddess of earth.

💗🌷 My Morning Blessing to #Persephone 🌷💗

Bless me, Goddess, on this day
Help me as I work and play.
To reflect your beauty now,
Lend your strength, and please allow,
This day to be all it should be.
In love, I ask this,
Blessed be!
☀️

#PersephoneDevotee

My favorite thing about #Persephone and being a #PersephoneDevotee is how widely loved she has become, especially in the last handful of years!

Back in 'the old times' Persephone was often mostly celebrated alongside her mother #Demeter or husband #Hades but almost never just herself, outside her connection to Spring as the Maiden #Kore But OUR generation has given Our Lady a magical worshipping revolution and I love everything about it 🥰

I love that we in the #Pagan and #Witch communities have started opening our hearts and following the guidance of Old Gods such as those within the #Hellenic practices. We are successfully awakening the ever-dormant energies while resurrecting the worshipping of Gods who have been devoted to far before many Abrahamic-type religions began-- But THAT is a discussion for another day!! :PaganPlus:

As a #PersephoneDevotee, I would LOVE to find more like-minded followers, even those following and worshipping several other gods! My strongest connection is to #Persephone and I often find myself driven to work with her even more, and this year has been a huge lesson for me and my own beliefs and craft.

Sooo, for the last few months, I have HEAVILY been working with such a deity and I have learned not only so much about her, but so much FROM her as well. I really wanna find fellow devotees and I'm hoping Pagan.Plus might be a good place to start! 🥰
