The first design from my inaugural 2023 Samhain Line:
An image of Persephone embracing her three aspects of Dread Queen (the skull), goddess of spring and flowers (the flowering vines), and patron of the immortalizing Eleusinian Mysteries (the skull's mushrooms crown).
I received this image during an oracular session this spring, not long before Beltane, and is the flagship design of my inaugural Samhain Line.
The pendant is one inch across and 3/16ths of an inch thick, solid and made to last, with a loop that can be used to attach a cord or chain or any kind of bail.
The pendant is available in sterling silver or red bronze.
These pendants are not consecrated. That is your responsibility to perform in accordance with your traditions.

A Prayer to a Goddess
Dread Queen, I pray to you, I seek your guidance.
Fear has ruled my life. Driven into hiding, fearful of reaching out, terrified of the world I live in. Please, I beseech you. Give me your strength.
Guide me as I wield fear sharp as any weapon. Aid me as I cut down those that fill me with mortal fear. Steel my resolve as I save the city. Let no others join your hall aside from those that call themselves our heroes and their enemies. Let no others suffer my losses too.
O, Dread Queen, hear my prayers as I bathe your scythe in crimson blood. Let this nightmare end.

Episode 205: Live Recap/Theories
*Spoilers Ahead*
———————————————
- Not me over here feeling bad for Zeus! While what he did didn’t do much to stop Kronos (he’s powerful at this point so I’m not shocked) I can’t exactly kick him while he’s down? (What exactly happened to his body?)
- Kronos’ line about making Persephone relive her worst nightmares honestly gave me chills. And confirms that he’s either absorbed or sapped the power of the Oneiroi/Morpheus’ father Hypnos.
- But I’m happy to see how determined and brave she is, no threats are greater than her goal. Though I kinda wish we could have seen her go full on goddess of spring kaiju Persephone but we’ll get to that.
- Of course our beloved war twins burst onto the scene and straight into the thick of it. But even though they’re powerful, they still aren’t so easily matched against their grandfather.
So we finally see what we’ve been waiting for since the fates in 75 showed their vision of the future and…
- LETS FUCKING GOOOOO!!!! We see Persephone in her full QUEEN OF THE UNDERWORLD GLORY.
- LIKE GODS THIS IS JUST WOW. ALL HAIL THE DREAD QUEEN PERSEPHONE.
- honestly this got me way more hyped than maybe it should have but I don’t care. Like the art???the music swell?? This right here was worth the wait to see in my opinion.
We see in all her full glory Persephone Queen of the Underworld CROWN, POWER AND ALL. I love that the dress is a subtle blend of the dress we see her in during the fates vision of her, as well as a little of the design from this promotional art:
- As hype as I am about her transformation and status, I’m also worried about what this may mean. Is Hades had to pay some steep prices for his throne, I wonder what Persephone’s will be.
——————————-
Ending thoughts/Theories:
1. While it looks like Athena and Ares weren’t really being shown in their full powerful glory, on reread I can see why. At this point I feel it’s implied that he’s been sucking the power from all who’ve been marked by him in some way. And in the original war against him, even the og Six Traitors had trouble taking him down before Zeus consumed Métis so the struggle here is kinda plausible. Also he’s most likely absorbed the power of the Oneiroi and Morpheus’ father.
2. What do you think Persephone gave in return for her power as Queen of the Underworld? Like Hades said it’s an older than time domain that extracts a price for power and respect over its domain and residents. While Hades hadn’t noticed certain effects of his sacrifice at first, I’m still curious about what Persephone ended up trading.
3. While it’s glossed over in light of bigger developments, Persephone’s injuring via the ring Kronos shoved on her hand is interesting. Would this count being ‘marked’ as it were by Kronos. We know that each of the six traitors (and maybe Zeus mentally) were marked by Kronos that allowed for a mental ‘tether’ to him that allowed for the absorption of pf their power. So another plot thread to really look out for…
3. Dread Queen/Fertility Goddess??? Like of course I’m still working out the full implications of the power the pomegranate grants, it’s not a stretch to say that if these powers are combined at the moment then she is sitting on a whole different level of power. Like the full powers of a fertility goddess AND chthonic ruler?? I really can’t wait for the next chapter!
