Season 1, Episode 5 Persephone: The Death of the Maiden
Welcome to the goddess episodes. We begin with Persephone—the maiden who descends to the underworld and becomes Queen of the Dead.
In this episode, Casey reclaims Persephone's myth from the patriarchal telling of innocent victim to the initiatory reading of sovereign queen. You'll discover why the descent wasn't an abduction but an initiation, what dies when the maiden goes down, and what it means to become queen of your own underworld.
You'll explore:
Casey shares her own Persephone initiations—from her first heartbreak at fifteen to the fall five months ago—and what it means to keep choosing the depths, to keep eating the seeds.
Includes a guided descent meditation to meet Persephone in your own underworld.
If you've ever lost yourself completely, if the earth has opened beneath you, if you've been dragged into grief or rupture—you've met Persephone. This episode teaches you how to become queen.
