Persephone the goddess of underground was seen caring parsley to uphold life while in the darkness. The seeds of life are in their period of dormancy before sprouting. Melon combines both: seeds as a potential beginning of a new life and ready juice fruit. It shows a wholeness of life in one. Gods and Goddesses drunk nectars from fruits. Leaves of parsley and fruit of cantaloupe mixed together connects the power of unknown with vitality of life.

As much as parsley is rich in nutritions like vitamin A and C, fiber, potassium, magnesium, calcium, niacin, riboflavin and iron and surprisingly the leaves also contain a significant amount of protein, that much it is considered as a plant from witch`s garden. According to medieval legend, parsley seeds went to the devil nine times and back before they germinated. That belief stems from the earlier Greek belief that parsley seeds visited the underworld nine times before sprouting. The connection with unknown was based on exceedingly long period of time necessary for seed germination.
Parsley was dedicated to Persephone, the wife of Hades and Queen of the Underworld. She was also the goddess of spring growth, who was worshiped alongside with her mother Demeter in the Eleusinian Mysteries. The agricultural-based cult was connected with its initiates to a blessed afterlife. Life depends on death. And in this perspective it is logic that death does not exist. Life and “death” is in constant movement. In the process of changing. We only name black or dark as blindness, unknown as death. Life takes different forms the same as living human can wear different emotional moods. Life does the same as fruit seed. It withdraws from activity from the time of remembering into a stage of forgetting. And then it arises like Persephone who was titled Kore (the Maiden) as the goddess of spring’s bounty. Persephone was committed to spend half a year underground because she has tasted the food of Hades–a handful of pomegranate seeds. Her annual return to the earth in spring was marked by the flowering of the meadows and the sudden growth of the new grain. Her return to the underworld in winter, conversely, saw the dying down of plants and the halting of growth.

By eating parsley with the knowledge of benefits and the the stories she brings along, the body absorbs all: the aroma of beneficial mystery and awakening the mind to the eternal vitality.

Honeydew is an American name for the white antibes, a variety of melon that was cultivated in southern France and Algeria centuries ago. Honeydew and other melons are part of the cucurbitaceae (gourd) family, which is divided into fruits (melons) and vegetables (squashes, pumpkins, and cucumbers). Cavaillon, a town in Provence, France, considers itself the world capital of melons. Novelist Alexandre Dumas reportedly asked for a dozen melons per year until his death in exchange for donating his works to the town’s public library. On his second voyage in 1494, Christopher Columbus introduced this fruit to the new world, especially North America. Around the sixteenth century, melon seeds were brought from Armenia and planted in the Papal gardens in the city of Cantalupo, near Tivoli, Italy. This fruit was named after the comune Cantalupo in Sabina near Tivoli, Italy.
