persephone pomegranate - Symbolism in Persephone myth
Kuvakäsikirjoitus Teksti
- POMEGRANATE
- WINTER
- SPRING
- The pomegranate is a symbol for life and abundance, and for death. The many seeds show the capability of new life & new growth. However, the pomegranate seems to bleed if it is cut, and it is the one thing that ties Persephone to the world of the dead.
- Winter represents the time that Persephone spends in the Underworld. The living world seems suspended because the plants "die", the weather becomes harsh, and the days are shorter and darker.
- Spring is Persephone's time. She returns from the Underworld and is reunited with her mother. Days become longer and warmer, plants come alive, and animals become active.
