Persephone 03:12
Queen Persephone infernal starlet, darkest diva Madonna of the Underworld She who is lovely as Springtime She who is iconic as Death Teach us To move up in this life you gotta go down Dance with serpents Corpse Bride in a ball gown Teach us codes of immortality, o Goddess Black Sheep Flower Girl, by Zeus babe, you're flawless Primadonna of the regions below Ice Lady on your head a crown of pure, white snow Mother of Shadows Bringer of Death and fresh flowers Comfort grieving hearts, Make us resilient, empowered Your pretty maiden's guise of innocence don't fool me I peaked behind the veil and saw you in your full glory Shadow Dancer, Black Peacock Ballerina You're so fucking hot I bet you could seduce Athena You died for Love And Love brought you back Behind black marble columns Giving Hades what he lacks Entertain all guests All that glitters is your name Hottest, coolest, best dressed Preceded by your fame Queen Persephone Madonna of the Underworld Grant us but one wish: Safe passage  Through the realm below Let us rise, reborn from the dark Be the light that ignites  In our Souls, Divine Spark

Flames 05:01 video
And thou shalt be the first of witches known And thou shalt be the first in all the world And thou shalt teach the art of poisoning Of poisoning those who are great Lords of all Yeah You shall make them die in their palaces And you shall bind the opressor's soul (with power) And when a priest shall do you injury by his benedictions You shall do to him double the harm And do it in the name of me, Diana Queen of witches all When I shall have departed from this world, Whenever you have need of anything Once in a month, and when the moon is full You shall assemble in some desert place Or in a forest, all together joined To adore the potent spirit of your Queen, my mother Great Diana She who fain would learn all sorcery and has not won its deepest secrets Them my mother will teach her In truth, all things as yet unknown And you shall be free from all slavery And you shall be free in everything And as the sign that you are truly free You shall be naked in your rites, both men and women also This shall last until the last of your opressors lay dead And you shall make the game of Benevento, extinguishing the lights And after that, you shall hold your supper thus: We will dance in the flames We will call out their names And our words will go up in smoke And our words will go up in flames And reach high heavens and down below And reach high heavens and down below We will dance in the flames We will call out their names Reach high heavens and down below And reach high heavens And down below We will dance in the flames We will call out their names We will dance in the flames We will dance in the flames And reach high heavens and down below (the cube in the circle) And reach high heavens The cube in the circle

about

New Reality asked Venus if she’d tell you a bit about the two tracks that make up her Persephone EP and here’s the lowdown straight from VA herself:

PERSEPHONE:

"Persephone" is a prayer to Kore, Greek goddess of flowers, who was taken to the underworld, where she was united with Hades (god of the underworld). By means of her marriage to the king of the afterlife, Persephone received the secrets of Life and Death, and became Queen. She now reigns at her husband's side in the underworld for half the year, and her absence from the surface causes such grief to her mother Demeter (goddess of the harvest), that the earth becomes cold and infertile, and that is how Autumn and Winter came to be. When Persephone returns to the surface for the other half of the year, her mother Demeter rejoices, the fields become green again, the flowers bloom, causing Spring and Summer.


FLAMES

The lyrics to Flames were borrowed from a text called Gospel of the Witches (Charles G. Leland, 1890). The text tells the tale of how Diana, goddess of witchcraft, had by her brother Lucifer (god of Light) a daughter named Aradia.
According to the Gospel, Aradia, the female messiah, came down to earth, established witches and witchcraft, and then returned to heaven.
Aradia taught witchcraft as a tool of liberty and empowerment to groups of people who had been oppressed and enslaved by the rich lords of the land. These people had been forced to live in the mountains and forests as outlaws and criminals– all to avoid slavery. Aradia, following the orders of her mother Diana, came down to earth to bestow upon those people the secrets of sorcery, witchcraft and spellwork as tools to be used against their oppressors, in the pursuit of freedom and Liberty.

Love VA ✊🏻❤️
