Honoring the Dark Feminine with Persephone with Juniper Deadwick
Tuesday, October 21st at 6pm $44
With lots of buzz around “Dark Feminine Energy,” the concept of stepping into our power has become understandably alluring. The “Light Feminine Energy” traits of healing and service to others have come to be expected rather than cultivated, but these are not mutually exclusive. By splitting her year between the blossoming earth and the Underworld, Persephone teaches us that both aspects can work together and enhance one another.
While interpretations of Hades’ part in her story vary, the undeniable truth is that she was crowned Queen of the Underworld. Likewise, shadow work is not about others, but how we value ourselves.
In this ritual, practitioners will call upon Persephone to guide their introspective journey through the dark season, until their renewal and rebirth in the spring.
Participants are not required to bring anything, but may bring a journal, talisman, or offering if they wish. They do not need to have an established relationship with Persephone, only respect.
(Persephone was the first deity to reach out to Juniper in her practice. This relationship has since grown to also include her mother, Demeter, and the crone, Baubo. Persephone remains to be one of Juniper’s patron deities, along with the Lithuanian forest goddess, Medeinė.)
Juniper Deadwick considers herself a hedge witch, placing nature at the center of her practice. Her primary methods include herbals, household hearth craft, animal allies, and spirit work, with an avid interest in folklore and mythology. Though her work is mainly solitary, she enjoys sharing knowledge with others, and connecting to honor the seasons and Wheel of the Year!
Workshops will take place in the Deadwick's Common Room. They begin at 6pm, and run approximately an hour to an hour and a half. Please enter through the front of Deadwick's upon arrival, at 19 Sheafe St. and allow time for parking. Please call ahead if you are running late.
