Persephone and the Rose Tazetta
Persephone was playing in a flowery meadow with her Nymph companions, however, she decided to leave the group in search of a hallucinogenic flower, Rose Tazetta. Far away from her companions, she plucked the flower from the ground and at the very moment she was ceased by Hades. The fate of serving in the Underworld was actually magic that was cast from her mother many moons before as a means to protect her land and flora.

 

Persephone was the goddess queen of the underworld, wife of the god Hades. She was also the goddess of spring growth, who was worshiped alongside her mother Demeter in the Eleusinian Mysteries. This agricultural-based cult promised its initiates passage to a blessed afterlife. Persephone was titled Kore (the Maiden) as the goddess of spring's bounty.

As a small child she felt empathy towards the lost souls she found on her mother’s land. This empathy led to her destiny as the wife of Hades, where she was able to offer the guidance necessary. In pre-Hellenic mythology Goddesses determined their fate through action, this active role was reversed during a political shift in Hellenic Greece to a Patriarchy.
