Persephone is the Maiden of the Underworld, Goddess of the spring, and Queen of the ghosts. Everyone’s final friend in between the living and the dead. She reigns majestically both in darkness and in light.

Each night she wanders between the living and the dead casting light with her torch, guiding the lost souls onto a safe passage towards the blessed afterlife.

“I asked him for it.
For the blood, for the rust,
for the sin.
I didn’t want the pearls other girls talked about,
or the fine marble of palaces,
or even the roses in the mouth of servants.
I wanted pomegranates—
I wanted darkness,
I wanted him.'

― Daniella Michalleni
