In all mythologies, religions and cultures, Persephone is probably the goddess I relate to the most. I’m a creature who swings between extremes, and I’m guessing she had a wildly polarised existence, switching from light to dark so completely – an embodiment of the opposites in the feminine.

This is how I see her at the darkest part of her hell-visits: Queen of the Underworld, cigarette lit, Cerberus (whom I am willing to bet she ended up feeding and walking) at her side. This is not the maiden of spring — this is Persephone on her throne, midwinter, unapologetic.
