Episode three focuses on Persephone, goddess of Spring and Queen of the Underworld and her mother Demeter, goddess of the harvest. I explore how her cyclic journey symbolises the cycles of the seasons and how this is intrinsically linked to the life cycles of women. Cycles which the modern world has distorted, yet it's through reconnecting with the divine feminine goddess energies that we can get that back. We also pop over to Ancient Egypt and meet Isis.
