“The pomegranate, symbol of fertility and resurrection, the seeds of which tie Persephone forever to Hades, god of the dead. As the nights grow cold and long, she begins her journey back down into the underworld.”
- from Plant Magic, Library of Esoterica
The descent into the underground is no stranger to the great Persephone and this bud vase made by local Pittsburgh artist, Stephanie Flom, is a nod to the Great Goddess.
The pomegranate is a sacred symbol for death, resurrection, fertility, and the blood of life. Often given by the Greeks as a gift of housewarming + abundance. It was seen as a symbol of good fortune.
