" There are no curses - only mirrors
held up to the souls of gods and mortals.
And so I give up this fate, too.
Believe in yourself,
go ahead - see where it gets you.

Further Analysis and Meaning of Demeter's Prayer To Hades
A prayer is an unusual offering from a mother who has lost her daughter. It is delivered in a calm, softly spoken manner - there are no angry words, there is no abrasive language - the speaker is suggesting that it is the ignorant ones who cause the damage to others when they act irresponsibly."

So how come the wish is for knowledge? Why want the guilty party to have knowledge? Are we talking about education here, facts, experience, or is it more like wisdom? It's important, note the colon to emphasise the word : knowledge.

Just what is the mother, Demeter, thinking about? What we can infer is that Hades doesn't yet have this knowledge; she wishes it for him.

The combination of desire and edge suggests that there's some kind of threshold we reach, at the edge of the cliff perhaps, facing the sharp edge of a blade? Once the fall occurs, once the cut is made, there's no going back. It is pain and even blood that results from the transformation.

The speaker is imparting her own kind of wisdom - borne of grief no doubt - think before you act or suffer the consequences, and remember that whatever you choose to do will have a knock-on effect. Others will be hurt.

Faith has its price the speaker implies, perhaps because she doesn't yet know if her daughter is dead or will ever return? Think of the mother whose daughter has gone missing, how difficult to muster up faith and believe in a higher power trusted with a satisfactory spiritual ending.

There is some ambiguity. This is a prayer yet it reads like a letter or note; there is no personal appeal or heartfelt plea for help from any god. The mother is being critical yet at the same time wants to enlighten.
If Hades and the underworld is the equivalent to modern society, mostly male dominated, then the path the daughter took through that society has led her to this crucial point in her life - it all becomes clear to the mother for the first time.

Is the speaker referring to the trail Hades left when he burst out of the underworld? In other words, is this the destructive reality left by men (who play the role of gods) as they go about their business. Living the dream, pretending to grow flowers, the flowers of innocence, or experience?
Everything is at stake now. The daughter's life might be wasted or go on to bloom. The mother is somewhat helpless - what good would cursing do? Better for those involved to look in the mirror and reflect on their selfishness. They need to ask some really soul-searching questions.

She'll leave it to the fates; the choices her daughter makes may bring suffering and grief but isn't this is the only way to learn about all things spiritual? Life resurrects itself somehow, spring returns; resentment is useless.

Is this a cynical ending, or is the mother, Demeter, simply suggesting a positive attitude to the future is best? Believe in yourself. Either way, this prayer is based on love and faith.

Analysis of Demeter's Prayer To Hades
Demeter's Prayer to Hades is a free verse poem of fifteen lines, in two stanzas. There is no rhyme scheme as such, but the first two lines end in full rhyme knowledge/edge, as do lines thirteen and fifteen to/you, although these seem almost accidental.

There is no clear meter (metre in British English), so the suggestion is that of a non traditional form of expression. The poem is one of a collection that focuses on femininity, the mother and her love for family.

Tone

This poem has a conciliatory tone to begin with, the speaker's anger is suppressed and all she wishes for her tormentor (Hades) is knowledge and understanding. In this she implies that ignorance has been a major factor in the actions of Hades, who took her daughter away.

In the last two lines she sarcastically urges the perpetrator to just get on with life, perhaps hinting that no good will come out of false self-belief.

Diction/Language

The early part of the poem is contains the language of worth, the price we pay for being human. Trust, understanding, knowledge - as humans we need to have these three fundamental pillars to function in society.

The speaker is appealing to Hades (to society, to an individual) to consider the consequences of the deed, in this specific case, the abduction of her daughter.

Note also the use of earthy words in the latter part of the first stanza. Demeter is goddess of the land's fertility so planted, ground, waste, flowers are all related to the earth.
