When the earth split open and the god of the underworld rose from its depths, Persephone vanished into shadow.
Above, Demeter’s grief turned the world to ice.
Below, the maiden became something more.

This is not a tale of victimhood, but of transformation.
In the silence of the underworld, Persephone learned to speak the language of the dead, to claim darkness as her own, and to return crowned.

In this episode of The Forgotten Familiar, we follow her descent and rise, from daughter of spring to Queen of the Dead, and explore what her story reveals about loss, renewal, and the power that comes from walking through shadow.
