PAGAN PORTALS - PERSEPHONE

Pagan Portals - Persephone is a 112-page paperback by Robin Corak, part of Moon Books' popular Pagan Portals series of concise, practical introductions to gods, goddesses, and Pagan practices. This slim volume focuses on Persephone, the Greek goddess who moves between the world of the living and the realm of the dead.

Corak draws on the Homeric Hymn to Demeter and the wider Eleusinian Mystery tradition, tracing Persephone's story from her descent into the Underworld through her role as Queen alongside Hades and her seasonal return to the upper world with her mother, Demeter. The book situates Persephone as a goddess of both loss and sovereignty, maiden and queen.

Readers can use this book to build a simple devotional practice around Persephone, to work with her myth during seasonal transitions like autumn and spring, or to explore her as a guide through personal descents, grief, and rebirth. Corak includes practical suggestions for ritual and reflection alongside the mythological material.

This book is special for its accessibility—true to the Pagan Portals format, it offers a thorough yet approachable entry point for anyone drawn to Persephone, whether new to Hellenic polytheism or deepening an existing practice.
