As #Autumn descends, so does #Persephone into the Underworld, where she eats six pomegranate seeds, binding her to #Hades for six months.

In Zuni legend Eagle and Coyote sought light to hunt by. They found the Sun and the Moon in a box owned by the Kachinas and thus stole it; curiosity compelled Coyote to open it, and the Sun and Moon escaped. Now we have day, night, and winter. #MythologyMonday
