Leonardo × @micahfinds Persephone Fountain Pen

Persephone

Tales of Growth and Cycles and Seasons.
Embracing Duality, Opposites,
and finding the Sacred In-Between.
Creation and Destruction.
Life and Death.
Blooming and Withering.
Transfiguration and Hibernation.
Every solstice a dance of nature
we get to take part in.

Persephone is the deity I work most closely with. She has taught me to step into my own power. To try my hand at things new and daunting. She believes, encourages, and gives me that little nudge. A seed breaking, a sprout bursting through the earth. I learned to allow contradicting emotions to co-exist, instead of wage wars within me. I learned the language of acceptance as she loosened the language of shame. Both my Kindness and my Ferocity, revealed to me. Now, I meet my Shadows with compassion and understanding, when once I met them with spite and anger. Now, I embrace my many forms. Now, I do not berate myself for my humanity. What is natural. What is true. Only Love leads to evolution.

So when you wield this pen, which I have designed as an ode — to Kore, Proserpina, Persephone — may it both embolden and soften you. Let vulnerability come. Let inner strength come. Welcome Light and Darkness and the Sacred Grey. And may you join evermore in the great dance of the seasons.

Love,
