EP 51: The Dark Goddess Persephone

Garner's Greek Mythology

One goddess alone ruled in the ancient underworld. She was Persephone, although the Greeks dared call her only The Goddess.

She had been dragged unwillingly into that gloom by Hades, but she quickly adapted to her circumstances. Mysteriously, she, among all the gods, became the treasury of dark knowledge, the sole portal into universal truths. Today’s Wiccans, neopagans and witches look to her as a touchstone into all mysteries.
