Persephone's Return

Persephone’s Return Scent: pomegranate + narcissus + underworld musk Story: The earth is stirring, seeds are sending their tendrils up through the soil, buds are beginning to bloom on trees. In Greek mythology, this is when Persephone is climbing up from Hades’s realm—returning to the earth, reuniting with her mother, Demeter—shaking off the musk after six months in the underworld. As the story goes, she spends one month in the underworld for each of the pomegranate seeds she ate while she was held captive by Hades. Demeter, goddess of the earth and harvest, rejoices at her daughter’s return, allowing the flowers to bloom, the trees to fruit, the earth to green again! May we all bask in the sunshine and green and rejoice in Persephone’s return. 2 oz-- tin container with lid. / Burn Time: 15-20 hr / 8 oz - clear glass tall straight-edged jar with black lid / Burn Time: 40-50 hr
