I admit it. When I have time or am procrastinating, I might take a personality or fun quiz or two. On a board I watch someone put out a goddess quiz which is apparently based on the book “Goddess in Everywoman” by Jean Bolen. Sometimes it may feel like none of the answer fits but if you just stick with it the explanations of the goddess are interesting.
What I like about a quiz like this one is that I believe it lets us look at ourselves a little differently. Maybe consider what are our strengths and struggles. I’m all about self reflection.
The highest answer when I took the quiz was Persephone by quite a bit. She is someone who had quite the struggles in mythology. Her mother is involved, Hades is involved, the underworld, mystery and violence all present.
However, she is also known for being a reminder that after winter spring comes. Some places describe her as offering hope and renewal at the time we are in the most despair. She helps us bring us back to light and helps us transform to new.
As a therapist one of my greatest wishes and hopefully skill is to help you keep hope that change is possible and help you see that darkness isn’t all there is. I wish that you could all remember that hope isn’t a horrible word and that even your darkest moments will pass.
