Demeter's search for Persephone, her daughter lost in the underworld, inspired the Eleusinian Mysteries, a nine day celebration so powerful and awe-inspiring much of it remains a secret to this day. Now, in a radical reimagining of this potent and ancient story, renowned novelist and mythologist Kim Antieau updates the tale for modern sensibilities through the life cycle of a most remarkable creature: the salmon. Salmon live in two worlds: salt water and fresh water. They are shapeshifters, transformers, and finally, pilgrims searching for home. Relying on ancient sources and modern speculation, Antieau writes about what happened during the nine day celebration of the Eleusinian Mysteries and offers a template for creating your own mysteries to celebrate and honor the cycles of Nature, your community, and your life. The Salmon Mysteries is mystical inspiration and a practical tool for transforming your life and your community.
Kim Antieau lives in the Pacific Northwest of the United States with her husband, writer Mario Milosevic. Every fall, they watch the salmon return to spawn near their home. She has studied myths and fairy tales and their part in our lives since she was a young girl. She is also a novelist. Her novels include Ruby's Imagine, Church of the Old Mermaids, and Coyote Cowgirl.
