"The heroines task is to become herself in the world"
I have chosen as a sample Demeter, an Olympian Goddess, who carries the energy of ‘letting
go’. She stands amidst her fields of grain watching over the harvest. As earth
mother, she presides over fertility, birth, harvest, decay and rebirth. Her myth
focuses on the loss of her daughter, Persephone, to the underworld. This
poignant narrative of closeness, separation, grief, and reunion echoes the
timeless theme of attachment and loss. On a divinatory level, Demeter suggests a
breaking of the mother-daughter bond in order to develop independence. The card
heralds a more mature phase of a relationship. Energy previously with-held,
imprisoned
feelings, or an aspect of the self that has felt violated
can be released so that a new course of life may unfold. Attachment, separation,
and loss are intricately woven into the tapestry of life. Mourning allows the
process to be complete so that we may let fo and life can be renewed.
