Demeter/Ceres sweet??She wasn't sweet when she let mortals suffer when she was grieving for her daughter.
Nothing would grow and people were starving.
Therefore, Jupiter/Zeus had Pluto/Hades give back Proserpina/Persephone.
There was a lot more to the myth than being nurturing
I believe that the astronomy has to be taken into account.
In Astrology, the Astronomy and the Mythology are connected
even Peri's post talks about Ceres having to do with life and death cycles.
This would make sense if Ceres actually originated from the Kuiper Belt where Pluto orbits and was once physically connected to Pluto as in Pluto and Ceres were one kuiper belt object in the past.
They have physical similarities in composition.
Ceres is not a typical asteroid.
The myth of Demeter/Ceres-Persephone/Proserpina was a story of a parent needing to let go of her child and let her grow up. She had to move on.
It was an empty nest story
and to explain the origins of the seasons
She was only thinking of her own pain and suffering and let innocent people be in pain and suffering with no food to eat.
The themes of Ceres are very similar to Pluto.
If you read anything about the Asteroid Goddesses by Douglas Bloch and Demetra George, the Plutonian/Scorpion/8th themes of Ceres are clear as day.
