Exquisitely written. Evocative. Powerful words.

And just as powerful and evocative as Carl Jung, Joseph Campbell and James George Frazer who wrote not just about Persephone but also about Inanna/Ishtar .

When mention these male writers?

Why hook your readers with a misandric if not dismissive bemirschment of the hero's journey...because it "...is so passe"?

Your writing is more than ample proof that you're far far better than that.
