Wendy Rule's new double CD bears the name of the mythic queen of the Underworld. Over 24 tracks singer-songwriter Wendy Rule takes the audience through a journey over the concepts of  darkness and light, despair and hope, love and loss, pain and joy. Rule captures the spirit of the ancient women, Demeter, Persephone and Hecate, and translates it into music and song. Those women commanded nature, reigned over the seasons, conversed with the elements, determined fertility and maintained their power through loss and adversity.
