Goddesses and Gods.wps - Welcome to Our Temple

gesture from - and why? It's almost impossible for you, at the moment, to separate
your own true feelings from your instinctive sense of duty towards the person, cause
or situation you so much yearn to secure a better future for. This is noble but it's not
necessarily sensible. You must be on the lookout for manipulative people, especially
men, who are anxious to offer you the wrong kind of help for the wrong reasons. You
need to check whether you're misdirecting maternal energy towards a partner who
really needs to face up to his own responsibilities instead of getting you to pick up the
pieces for him. Even if that's not the case and the situation you're trying to sort out is
a cause truly worthy of assistance, you must ask yourself if you're not smothering, as
opposed to mothering, the 'child' you feel so responsible for.
You're going to find the goddess Demeter a very fulfilling force to have on your side
provided you don't let her lead you to extremes of panic or anxiety about a matter
that's best seen in a more philosophical light.
If your urge to be totally responsible really does run away with you, it is likely also, to
run away with your ability to feel like a whole person - and thus your ability to enjoy
a whole love life.
Please therefore, take the time to read about some of the other goddesses in this
feature. Take a look at Artemis and consider how she might suggest attack as the best
form of defense in the situation you face. You can probably do a lot more to help
whatever or whoever you so much want to assist by taking an assertive, dynamic
stance rather than an all but helpless one. Athena, too, can teach you a lot about how
to place more of an emphasis on strategy and thus less on stubborn determination.
Remember too, that Aphrodite can be a great source of balance in a topsy turvy
scenario. No matter how much you care about what - or whom, or why, things will
not get any worse if you stop every so often and have a little fun. Indeed, through
relaxing more, you could find you discover a way to make matters a whole lot better.

Introduction:
Persephone, known to the Romans as Core, was the maiden goddess. She symbolized
innocence, beauty, vulnerability and served as a warning of the danger of temptation.
Because of her association with the Underworld however, she also came to be known
as a figure of depth, mystery and dark desire. Persephone was the sweet only
daughter of Zeus and Demeter. One day, while out gathering flowers, the sinister
figure of Hades appeared from nowhere, hauled poor Persephone aboard his chariot
and hurtled off back to the underworld. There, he made her his bride. While her
distraught mother searched the earth for her in vain, Persephone made the best of her
lot and came to secretly enjoy her life in the world of darkness. Eventually, her mum
