This might be a new storyline or theme I plan to build for. I already have their ship built, I'll try to upload that someday.
Persephone is a daughter of Zeus and Demeter, she was taken by Hades the God king of the underworld and taken as his majestic queen, as the goddess of death, no one must speak her name. She once lived far away, living with nature, many Gods fell in love and tried to capture her heart. But in the end Hades rapes and steals her away and takes her to the darkest depths of the underworld.
In the end Hades is forced to let her go, Hermes retrieves her, but Hades had got her to eat some pomegranate seeds and because she had tasted the food of the underworld she was required to stay there for the winter months and only return to her mother for 2 thirds of the year.
This shoot has been a dream for a long time. I first stepped foot in this manor house over 2 and a half years ago. I had actually put this shoot together many many months ago but just as the date approached to do it, the house became unable to visit.
For so long I dreamt about this scene, my heart torn apart that I would never be able to make it a reality. But then one day while talking to a friend, I was made aware that it was possible, it wouldnt be easy, but that has never stopped me before.
I was lucky to have an amazing model, Jessica Nicole Griffiths recently arrived in London from Melbourne. She was so up for it, it made me the happiest person alive and with the help of amazing Matthew Adams and Richie Gowen we had made it into the house in pitch darkness, arms full of beautiful gowns made my The Couture Company
During the mission to get inside, Richie had already faceplanted a shallow river as he slipped on the log across it. Poor Rich was freezing cold as we slept in this beautiful abandoned manor house.
Sleeping in such a decaying building, with the bitter cold coming through the windows and dust coating the floor, it was a test of endurance, but worth it when the sun finally came up and revealed the beautiful house ready for us to get these photos.
I'm so happy I made this a reality finally.

Cyrene was an ancient Greek and Roman city near present-day Shahhat, Libya. It was the oldest and most important of the five Greek cities in the region. It gave eastern Libya the classical name Cyrenaica that it has retained to modern times.
Cyrene was founded in 630 BC as a settlement of Greeks from the Greek island of Thera (Santorini).
Cyrene is referred to in the deuterocanonical book 2 Maccabees. The book of 2 Maccabees itself is said by its author to be an abridgment of a five-volume work by a Hellenized Jew by the name of Jason of Cyrene who lived around 100 BC.
Cyrene is also mentioned in the New Testament. A Cyrenian named Simon carried the cross of Christ.
Cyrene is now an archeological site near the village of Shahhat. One of its more significant features is the temple of Apollo which was originally constructed as early as 7th century BC. Other ancient structures include a temple to Demeter and a partially unexcavated temple to Zeus There is a large necropolis approximately 10 km between Cyrene and its ancient port of Apollonia. Since 1982, it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Persephone [Persephonê] was the goddess queen of the underworld, wife of the god Haides [Haidês] (Hades). She was also titled Kore (Core) (the Maiden) and was the goddess of spring growth. Persephone was worshipped alongside her mother Demeter in the Eleusinian Mysteries. This agricultural-based cult promised its initiates passage to a blessed afterlife.
“Persephone was usually depicted as a young goddess holding sheafs of grain and a flaming torch. Sometimes she was shown in the company of her mother Demeter, and the hero Triptolemos, the teacher of agriculture. At other times she appears enthroned beside Haides.”
Persephone was the daughter of Zeus and his sister, Demeter [Dêmêtêr], who in turn was the middle daughter of Kronos and Rhea. Demeter’s name means ‘Mother Earth’. She was considered the mother of corn, or of all crops and vegetation, and consequently of agriculture and growth. Demeter also presided over fertility, nature, and the seasons.
Demeter’s most important myth concerns the rape of her daughter Persephone by her uncle, Haides, lord of the Underworld. Zeus, without the knowledge of Demeter, had promised Persephone to Haides, and while she was gathering flowers, the earth suddenly opened and she was carried off by Haides.
Her cries were heard only by Hekate and Helios. Demeter searched ceaselessly for Persephone, during which time the earth was infertile and famine-stricken. As all life on earth was threatened with extinction, Zeus sent Hermes to the underworld to fetch Persephone. Haides released her, but gave her a pomegranate, which bound her to him for one third of the year when she ate the seeds. Persephone’s time in the underworld corresponded with the unfruitful times of the year, and her return with springtime.
The best-known mystery school was the Eleusinian Mysteries, which focused on the worship of Demeter and her daughter, Persephone. The Eleusinian Mysteries were practiced for a thousand years, and were available to anyone who could pay the fees, including women, noncitizens, and slaves. Only murderers and those unable to speak Greek were excluded, which meant that they were very inclusive. Athens imposed the death penalty on those who divulged the Eleusinian Mysteries, and so very little is known about them. Those who were initiated, however, were assured of a blessed afterlife. It has been suggested that ‘all important rites of Demeter in Attica seem to have been linked (at least loosely) to stages of the agricultural year.’ This would tie in the Eleusinian Mysteries and the other major festivals with the sacred cycle of grain production.
It is interesting to note that while earlier writers stated that an agreement was made that Persephone should spend one third of every year with Haides, and the remaining two thirds with the gods above, later writers stated that it was half of every year.

well, keep on dancing, Goddess of the Harvest. The river is clear and the water is warm and shallow. The crawdad traps fill up quickly, and the bushes are still full of berries--(and now, spiders!)
Warm days, and cooler nights. Baseball and football. The lush bounty of the gardens shows up at roadside stands, and canning jars fill the pantry shelves, while firewood gets split and stacked outside.
"How are you likin' this Ndn summer?" a friend from the Rez asks me. In Oregon, it's the best time of the year (though in a month I'll be daydreaming of Mexico or Australia) Demeter will soon be mourning her daughter Persephone's cold seclusion in the dark realm, but for now, let the little girl dance!
Every May, Persephone, the daughter of the Goddess Demeter, escapes to the Light, running away from the darkness of the Underworld. Raped and seizured from the King Hades, the young girl must live six months under the Earth, as a Queen of his obscure Kingdom. All the blossomed flowers, the vivid colours, the bird songs, and the bright smiles of all animals are just the mirage and the reflexion of the joy of Demeter, the Great Mother of Nature, who can have back her own child for six more months.

No, halal meat and Demeter meat are not alternatives to each other. Halal meat refers to meat that is prepared according to Islamic dietary laws, while Demeter meat refers to meat that is raised and produced biodynamically, following the principles of the Demeter system of farming. These two terms pertain to different religious or farming practices and are not interchangeable.

THE MYTH OF AUTUMN
Demeter (/diˈmiːtər/; Attic: Δημήτηρ Dēmḗtēr; Doric: Δαμάτηρ Dāmā́tēr) is the goddess of the harvest, who presided over grains and the fertility of the earth.
According to the myth, Demeter's virgin daughter Persephone was abducted to the underworld by Hades. Demeter searched for her ceaselessly, preoccupied with her loss and her grief.
The seasons halted living things ceased their growth, then began to die.
Faced with the extinction of all life on earth, Zeus sent his messenger Hermes to the underworld to bring Persephone back.
Hades agreed to release her, but gave her a pomegranate. When she ate the pomegranate seeds, she was bound to him for one third of the year, either the dry Mediterranean summer, when plant life is threatened by drought or the autumn and winter.
Persephone's time in the underworld corresponds with the unfruitful seasons of the ancient Greek calendar, and her return to the upper world with springtime.
Demeter's descent to retrieve Persephone from the underworld is connected to the Eleusinian Mysteries, the most famous of the secret religious rites of ancient Greece.
Demeter at Eleusis
Demeter's search for her daughter Persephone took her to the palace of Celeus, the King of Eleusis in Attica. She assumed the form of an old woman, and asked him for shelter.
He took her in, to nurse Demophon and Triptolemus, his sons by Metanira.
To reward his kindness, she planned to make Demophon immortal.
She secretly anointed the boy with ambrosia and laid him in the flames of the hearth, to gradually burn away his mortal self.
But Metanira walked in, saw her son in the fire and screamed in fright.
Demeter abandoned the attempt. Instead, she taught Triptolemus the secrets of agriculture, and he in turn taught them to any who wished to learn them.
Thus, humanity learned how to plant, grow and harvest grain.
The Eleusinian mysteries represented the myth of the abduction of Persephone from her mother Demeter by the king of the underworld Hades, in a cycle with three phases, the "descent" (loss), the "search" and the "ascent", with the main theme the "ascent" of Persephone and the reunion with her mother.
