The Eleusynnian Mysteries honored the descent
of Persephone, as a maiden, to return as
an Initiated Woman. And so it is with
us, regardless
of temporary age, race, and gender assignment.
Venus emerges from the Underworld, and we with her,
as the Evening Star of Peace, in Pisces,
the sign of her Exaltation, circa February 20th
(customized according to our
latitude).
So, in a playful way, what is the virtue
and the shadow of these Zodiacal signs,
where all of our demons yearn to be liberated
into our
virtues?
