Ceres is the Roman goddess agriculture, grain crops, fertility and motherly relationships
Overview
Ceres was one of the six children of Saturn and Ops, alongside Jupiter, Neptune, Pluto, Juno, and Vesta.
Later on she had a daughter, Proserpina, was abducted by Pluto. She was upset of this, and as goddess of agriculture and fertility, refused to fulfil her duties, which led to massive droughts and famines in the realm of the humans. Jupiter, worried about humanity, contacted Pluto and begged him to release Proserpina. Pluto agrees, but it is also revealed that Proserpina had eaten a pomegranate, which confined her to the Underworld for half of the year.
The time of the year when Ceres and Proserpina would be together became spring and summer, while the time when she returned to the Underworld would be autumn and winter.
Dictionnaire Infernal
What were the mysteries of Ceres at Eleusis, if not the symbols of witchcraft, magic and the Sabbath? At these orgies people danced to the sound of the bugle, as at the witches' sabbath; and abominable things were happening there, which the professed were forbidden to reveal; We see in Pausanias that the Arcadians represented Ceres with a woman's body and a horse's head. The name of Ceres has been given to a planet discovered by Piazzi in 1801. This planet has no influence on horoscopes yet.
