The Magick
Hades is the ancient Greek god of the Underworld. God of the Dead, King of the Underworld, Ruler of the Dead. Known as Pluto (wealth-bringer) in Roman mythology. Since minerals and precious metals are found underground, they often referred to Hades as the The Wealth-Giver. In Greek mythology, honey is strongly associated with Hades and the Underworld, acting as a bridge between the realms of the living and the dead.
Honey was a standard, sacred component in funerary rites and offerings to the dead. It was common to pour honey, along with milk, water, and wine, as libations (offerings) to appease the dead and Hades.Honey Cakes were buried with the deceased, symbolizing nourishment for their journey to the Underworld. Visitors to the Underworld, such as Aeneas brought honey cakes to distract or bribe Cerberus.
Persephone wife of Hades, was sometimes referred to as Melitodes meaning Honeyed one she’s a figure who bridges the sweetness of life and the bitterness of death. Pomegranate was also known as honey sweet food.
Some believed that bees were messengers between the living and dead associating them with caves and openings in rock faces, which they considered entrances to the Underworld. Some Greek philosophers believed that human souls could be reincarnated as bees.
The Palace of Hades (or House of Hades) is the dark, opulent, and heavily guarded underworld fortress where Hades and Persephone rule the dead. Located in the deepest part of the underworld and often described as built from black obsidian and iron, it serves as the final, inescapable court of judgment for mortal souls, featuring immense gates and a surrounding, misty landscape
