Description

***Santeria - The Way of the Saints. The Our Lady of the Souls: Our Lady of the Rosary and Persephone.

Our Lady of the Rosary, which is one of the main forms of Marian devotion, could have some syncretism with Persephone, the Greek goddess of the underworld. Religious syncretism is a dynamic and individual process, which can vary according to each person's culture and interpretations. This combination of Our Lady of the Rosary and Persephone is unique to my personal meditations and practices, fitting into the line of souls, therefore Our lady of the Souls this entity form. Both entities have elements in common, such as the representation of femininity and motherhood.

In syncretism, certain elements of the two entities could becombined, such as Our Lady of the Rosary being associated with the role of protector of souls that leave this world for the underworld, as well as Persephone. Furthermore, both could be seen as intermediaries between the living and the dead, having the ability to intercede for those in the lower regions.
