Is it okay to emphasize Persephone’s Kore/spring aspect instead of the afterlife aspect? I still engage with the Underworld as a shadow work concept but I’ve been asked by Her to not explore death/dying because of a history of suicidal ideation (which She helped me out of). I just feel like I’m doing something different/wrong than Her other followers. Also- my experience is very similar or the other anon. I was a preteen at Catholic school when I first met Her and She helped out of a dark plac
It’s 100% okay, love! That’s one the reasons the gods have epithets so we can emphasize specific aspects of them!
I totally understand how you feel tho because my worship of Artemis is very different than the majority of her followers (at least of what I’ve seen). So I get how it feels like you’re doing something wrong especially since humans are naturally designed to want to follow the group. But I assure you that what you’re doing is completely fine! Persephone herself instructed you to do this so ultimately that’s what matters.
Im happy you have Persephone by your side guiding you and helping you! 💕
