💀 Orpheus and Eurydice | Orpheus Descends into the Underworld - 28 Nights of Dark Devotion

Tonight’s reading is drawn from Book X, Fable I of Ovid’s Metamorphoses — the story of Orpheus and Eurydice.

After Eurydice’s death, Orpheus descends into the underworld and is granted a single, fragile mercy: he may lead her back to the living world, provided he does not look back until they have crossed fully into the light.

What follows is not a story about disobedience, but about devotion under strain — about love asked to endure silence, uncertainty, and distance without reassurance.

This is a soft-spoken, live-ish reading offered as part of our 28 Nights of Dark Devotion — a series exploring love, longing, sacrifice, and return in their quieter, shadowed forms.
