Celebrate your duality with Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld and Goddess of springtime. You too can be both. Persephone is a Goddess of cycles, transitions and growth. During the spring and summer months, Persephone brings life and color to the natural world. In the autumn, she descends to the underworld to be with her husband Hades, lord of the dead. When she returns, winter ends and the world comes back to life.
