The Disappearance of the Daughter – The Eleusinian Mystery Rites of Ceres and Persephone
In response to the many requests to hear the teachings that Demetra gave on the Greek Mystery Religions tour to Greece in May 2019, she will off this double seminar on an overview of ancient Greek religion and the details of the most famous and enduring initiation of antiquity in honor of the ‘Two Goddesses.’ For anyone who has suffered a separation or estrangement from their mother or child, these ancient rituals offered a way back, and in the process gave hope to the living in the face of despair and death.
Participants are invited to personalize this material by determining ahead of time the zodiacal positions of the asteroids Ceres (#1), Demeter (#1108), Persephone (#399), Proserpina (#26), as well as that of Pluto.

Asteroids can bring us to the brink of the great mystery when we discover their significations woven into the tapestry of our fate from the moment of birth. They have been linked with spirit guides, daimons, karma, and destiny, providing the specific details of the major life themes indicated by the planets.
In addition to Ceres, Pallas, Juno, and Vesta, astrologers now have access to zodiacal positions of more than 20,000 named asteroids. This course will propel you into the study of all those other asteroids. Personal names of important people in your life, geographical places that hold special destiny for you, mythic deities that span world cultures can point to vocational paths and life-altering experiences, historical personages with whose work you are attuned, and broad concepts that contribute to your character.
