Hades, Persephone & Hecate: A Beginner’s Guide to Underworld Deities

This is part 1 of our new deep dive into the Greek pantheon where we are this week exploring the gods of the underworld: Hades, Persephone, and Hecate. We break down their mythology, including the true structure of the underworld, Persephone’s descent and rise to power, and Hecate’s role as the torchbearer and guide between worlds.
We also explore how modern interpretations have reshaped these myths, the themes of shadow work, transformation, and duality, and what these deities represent today. Plus, we share signs that these gods may be reaching out to you and simple ways to begin working with their energy.
If you’re curious about Greek mythology, deity work, or the deeper meaning behind the underworld, this episode is your starting point.
