Both Demeter and her daughter Persephone were goddesses of the earth and growing things.
Black onyx is considered sacred to Persephone because it symbolizes strength, protection, and the duality of life and death, reflecting her role as the queen of the Underworld and goddess of spring. The stone is believed to offer emotional balance and aid in navigating the cycles of life, mirroring Persephone's journey between the realms of the living and the dead. Additionally, its deep color and grounding properties resonate with Persephone's connection to the earth and the seasonal changes she embodies.
Demeter, Goddess of the Harvest and Persephone's mother
Things sacred are things that are religious and holy. Things secular are things that are non-religious, wordly or non-spiritual.
Probably at first, she was scared silly by her own husband, Hades. You would be too, if one day this really goth guy kidnaps you and takes you to an underground palace. But as their marriage progresses, Persephone probably comes to love him, because she embraces her role as queen of the dead. Now if this is from Stockholm syndrome, or actual love, I'm not sure, but . . . Other than that, I'm sure Persephone was also afraid of little things. Like spiders. Or cockroaches.
hades was passionate for persephone because well its love thes typ of things cant be explain sunshine
With Persephone's myth, the Earth/we know the seasons of spring, summer (when Persephone returns to the Earth, reigning with Demeter Queen of the Harvest/Earth) during autumn Persephone departs and dwells in the Underworld with Hades as Queen of the Underworld. We already know these things, but this is how the ancient Greeks explained the seasons.
Persephone was the daughter of Demeter, a goddess of growing things, and Zeus had promised Hades for Persephone as a wife - he then took the maiden when she was grown, unknowing that neither Persephone or Demeter had not agreed to the marriage promised to him; Persephone became his wife and Queen of the Underworld either by choice or Hades tricking her when she ate of the food of the Underworld. Doing so ensured that she must every year return to the Underworld.

It's not that we can not talk about it, it's that we choose not too. We believe that these "ceremonies and rituals" are sacred. If we were to discuss these specific things it would allow others to mock and ridicule the very things we hold sacred. These things are sacred not secret.
