Picking up her Catholic rosary, Meg, a 24-year-old from Maine, begins her prayers like this:
"Hail Persephone, full of strength and beauty. ... Blessed are you and blessed is the cycle of your life. Holy Persephone, queen of life and death, pray for your children now, and in the hour of our need. Blessed be."
Meg calls herself a Christo-Pagan, a blender of traditional Christianity and pagan goddess worship. For her, adapting the Catholic rosary brings a peace that adhering only to the Christianity of her youth did not.
"It makes me feel very connected to God," said Meg, who declined to give her last name because she -- like many pagans who aren't open to their families -- still lives in what some call the "broom closet."
"Going through this cycle of prayer, it switches your brain into recognizing that something holy is happening and God is with you," she said.
