Persephone: Myth and Archetype, Recorded June 2011, 52 minutes. $15, MP3 e-mailed via secure download.

Persephone (asteroid 399) is not widely used in astrology, but many people know the story intimately and identify with the maiden's/queen's path in deep ways. This talk builds upon the Persephone chapter in Living Myth: Exploring Archetypal Journeys, going deeply into the myth that we have received about this figure and what that shaping has taught us about being good members of patriarchal society. Then I unfold aspects of the archetype as we actually live it, to provide context for learning to accept the abduction journeys we all live.

We need to understand why we have experienced abduction as Persephone. This MP3 creates a spiritual teaching out of this prevalent story we have not always know what to do with, helping us understand why we've experienced what we have.
