Hades and Persephone
By:
Post # 1
Hades and Persephone are my patron deities and I was wondering if anyone had tips for worshiping.

Like stones/herbs/symbols associated with them and possibly rituals for them?

I'm particularly having a hard time with offerings for Hades. I know honey, milk, and wine are custom, but I kind of want something different/personal.

Well a corresponding item that is associated with, hades is, a crow. The crow symbolizes protection, and wisdom, as well as mystery.

For Persephone, also known as ''core''. Is relatively easier, in terms of, association. I suggest bread, flowers, and even grass. The most easiest and associated thing with core, though is, wheat and barley.

I normally associate smokey Quartz with Hades, sometimes Obsidian or Black Onyx. I've offered pomegranates to Hades before as well, as that seems more personal to Him than anything.

Persephone is also the Goddess of Springtime, so flowers for offerings would do fine.

You're welcome to mail me for any further help, hun.

Hey, Psycho, you're confusing the symbols and offerings to Demeter instead of Persephone. Demeter is the Goddess of Harvest, so Her offerings would normally be wheat, barely, corn, and all that. But not to Persephone since She is entirely and completely different.

Hades also accepts coin, gold and money. Persephone likes a whole lot more things :Mints (Lemon Balm, Spearmint, Peppermint) Bat shaped items/imagery, Ram shaped items/imagery, wheat/Barley/Grains, Parsley Black/White, Poplar, Weeping Willow, Cypress, Incense (particularly sweet or floral scents), Honey/Honey Wine, Infused Waters (herb or fruit infused)

Hope these helped.

Persephone's favorite food is Pomegranate (in most variations of the myth, that is the reason why she's stuck in the underworld for three months a year, aka because she ate 3 pomegranate seeds). So if i was going to offer something to her, it'd be Pomegranate.
