Gods'.***
In Greek mythology, Demetra is the goddess of the harvest, who
presided over grains, the fertility of the earth, and the change of
seasons .
Though Demeter is often described simply as the goddess of the
harvest, she presided also over the sanctity of marriage, the
sacred law, and the cycle of life and death. She and her daughter
Persephone were the central figures of the Eleusinian Mysteries
that predated the Olympian pantheon.
During the Eleusinian Mysteries the initiates entered deep into the
earth and through a series of ceremonies tred to take an even
deeper look into themselves so that the truth about life and death
would be revealed to them.
Not every athenian citizen was deemed worthy enough to become an
initiate in the Elefsinian Mysteries and even less people would
manage to pass all the tests during the mysteries in order to reach
the final truth and become adepts.
In order to become adept one should be prepared to face one's own
primal fears of the darkness and the unknown.
Once all the ordeals and obstacles where surpassed , the Final and
One Truth would be revealed to the new adept. The revelation of the
truth offered consolation and unburdened him for ever from the
constant fear of death.
