Persephone In Tarot

Persephone in Tarot

This is just how I personally feel Persephone would appear in tarot, for @xxswitchbladesweetheartxx

Death

Persephone is a death goddess as much as she is a goddess of vegetation. In fact, I think she is one of the gods that is most representative of the Death card. Death in tarot is an end, but it’s also a transition. Like Persephone transitions between the green earth and the dark Underworld, the Death card transitions from one journey or step to another.

Sun

The Sun is a card of pure joy and brightness, which can relate to Persephone’s springtime. In a way, she’s representative of the earth’s joy, as her time in the Underworld is what brings her mother’s mourning and in turn the loss of vegetation.

Lovers

She could be associated with the Lovers when paired with her husband, Hades.

Fool

A young person often filled with joy. This reminds me of Persephone before she is first taken by Hades.

Queen of Pentacles

Persephone could be associated with the Queen of Pentacles due to her associations with the earth, but I feel like her mother, Demeter, fits this more.

Page of Pentacles

The page is younger, associated with earth, and a joyous figure. So if you think of Demeter as the Queen of Pentacles, the Page could be Persephone.

Six of Pentacles

Associated with abundance and the gifts of the earth in a joyous way. Persephone brings about the abundance of nature when she returns to her mother and brings Demeter happiness.
