This order is for ONE Proserpina / Persephone art print. Trio is available in my shop for a bundled price if you're looking for a triple goddess/mythology/folklore gallery wall!

The style mirrors the illustration on ancient Greek vases, and honors the plants that are associated with Persephone. Perfect for those who connect with Persephone in a witchy, spiritual, or mythological way.



********



Persephone was raised learning how to tend to the plants, how to be in a reciprocal relationship with nature (who raised her, after all), and to be both independent and in community with others.

But she knew there was more - everything was on the surface - visible, in the light, glowing.

There are a thousand ways to interpret Persephone's story.

I honor them all.

But when I look at her through today's lens
I can't help but see Persephone as Nature,
Hades as Capitalism
Demeter as the World (us), mourning the loss
Hecate as climate scientists, holding a light
up to the situation, illuminating the story for us,
showing us the way.
But Capitalism continues to bargain with us,
offering us seeds of convenience.
"Please stay, just a little bit longer..."
The Earth is pained by the loss of Nature.
Nature is lost from the world,
and the delicate balance of the Earth is upheaved.
Oceans rise. Forests burn. Storms brew.
Plants and animals disappear.
Crops fail. Temperatures break records.
The rivers dry up. The soil is depleted.
People are displaced.
Nature is warmer than normal,
feeling the fires of hell in the winter,
and then the warmth of the sun
when she rises up above ground.

Let's work together for knowledge.
Let's go down into this hard place together
so that we may rise up into a healed earth.
Let's discover a different way.



This Greek vase-inspired Persephone print is a part of my Embodied Nature Collection, which explores the parallels between the myth of Persephone and the current climate crisis.


Please note that color variation will happen from monitor to monitor, phone to phone, browser to browser. Please note that the black background printed a slightly lighter shade of black...kind of like the darkest gray possible.
