The Persephone myth is perhaps the most unique, seminal and profound story of Greek mythology.

This course will explore the myth in multiple unique ways, bringing forth evidence from ancient astrological techniques and doctrines to connect the myth to the Zodiac. From this emerges a primordial, complete and novel logos for astrology firmly based in the seasons.

______

TOPICS WE'LL DISCUSS

Topics we will explore include: the Hero’s journey and the female archetypes; ancient pagan versus Christian, Gnostic and modern views of the Underworld; polarity and the Battle of the Sexes; Hermeticism, Natural Law and Gender; the conspiracy of the gods that allowed this to happen; the myth as a possible record of extremely ancient epochal shifts between gynocratic and patriarchal dominance.

Persephone herself is a metaphor.

We will walk Persephone through the Signs and Seasons, and examine her relationships to the archetypal Sign rulers as they shepherd and guide humanity through the seasons in the Northern Hemisphere.
