Back in 1981 I was writing an article on C.L. Moore for a book (long oop) called "The Feminine Eye" and came to the same conclusion about one of Jirel of Joiry's adventures. She ends up in the underworld confronting a wicked sorceress. The entire process seemed more like an initiation to me and I said so in the article.
I couldn't ask Ms. Moore about it, even though she was the guest of honor at Denvention, the first Worldcon I ever went to. She was starting to fail at the time, and it would take a pushier person than me with more status to have even gotten close. However, your atricle brought it back.
