Since I posted as many saved posts as I could, I am going to stop using this place. I would like to do more and stay here less, so the place I am going to use from now on is smaller and only for art. If you are interested, let me know xx

Of late, she had felt coldness in herself, and though she feared it, she loved it too, for it made her strong.

mythology meme ; echo.

beware, child, you are employed for a terrible deed. a pawn you are in the game of the mighty. your voice shall be your forever curse. from now on all you say has been said before. your spirit, torn and scattered, a lonesome echo, echo, echo…

HADES AND PERSEPHONE

Hades was the King of the Underworld, the god of death and the dead. Persephone was the goddess queen of the underworld, wife of Hades.

Once upon a time when she was playing in a flowery meadow with her Nymph companions, Persephone was seized by Hades and carried off to the underworld as his bride. Her mother Demeter despaired at her disappearance and searched for her the throughout the world accompanied by the goddess Hekate bearing torches. When she learned that Zeus had conspired in her daughter’s abduction she was furious, and refused to let the earth fruit until Persephone was returned. Zeus consented, but because the girl had tasted of the food of Hades - a handful of pomegranate seeds - she was forced to forever spend a part of the year with her husband in the underworld. Her annual return to the earth in spring was marked by the flowering of the meadows and the sudden growth of the new grain. Her return to the underworld in winter, conversely, saw the dying down of plants and the halting of growth.

I cut off my head and threw it in the sky. It turned into birds. I called it thinking.
