The focus is often on Persephone's kidnapping and the relationship to the seasons, but it's definitely about the letting go that is parenting also. Demeter and Persephone were bestest buddies, too, so the separation is even more acute. Having a daughter on student exchange in China for six months certainly makes me sympathize with Demeter!<br /><br />Tried the lovely spread last night (Gilded Tarot Royale). Got your 3 of Wands, but in the Gifts I have to Share position. :) My sequence was 3 Swords--3 Wands--Devil--Judgement--6 Cups. Summary = Fool. The present may be painful, but my creative gifts will help me overcome the stifling flames of that pain and form the ground for a rebirth of Self. Reclaiming my innocence and reuniting with the good things/people from the past will be useful, and will allow me to be free, open, and ready to take off.<br /><br />Thanks!

The spread you created feels to allude to the 4 seasons personally around the center "Me, Now" card. Really makes for a personal connection to the myth of Persephone and Demeter.
