We chat about Robin’s early beginnings. Robin was sick as a child with a rare medical condition and immersed herself in stories, myths and in other worlds. She really resonated with the story of Persephone and felt a strong connection with her at a young age. She admired this Goddess who overcame her challenges despite how people around her were making choices for her. As Robin grew older she became more interested in myths, Goddesses and nature based religions. She wrote stories & poems as a young adult. Later, she received a degree in Teaching & English Literature. Robin traveled to Greece and visited Persephone's sacred places there and came back inspired to write about Persephone and to share with the world how powerful she was as/ is. We discuss the Elysian Mysteries in ancient Greece & how there was the reenactment of the Demeter and Persephone story. Persephone is great for learning discernment and clarity. Robin speaks about how people with chronic illnesses are drawn to deities that are liminal. Our society is more & more coming to terms with a different understanding of death. Persephone’s lessons, myths and her aspects/qualities make her a really great ally for many of life’s challenges, cycles!

This Goddess is full of contradictions- just like us humans. Persephone is known as the Dread Queen of Underworld and Goddess of Spring. Persephone helps us to see with clarity what we need to let go of so that we can enact our personal power, so that we can be self determined and sovereign. Goddess Persephone can be such a transformative force helping us to get to the root of what some of our shadows are too. We can work with the meditations and rituals in Robin’s book to form a closer relationship over time with Persephone. Persephone is a Goddess that is still very much relevant in present times.

Robin has a new book coming out this year (2024) called “Dream Magick” by Llewellyn Worldwide Publishing. Robin shares a beautiful Persephone blessing at the end of the show with us. Tune in and be enlightened!
