The Story of Psyche
The Story of Psyche
Psyche began life as a mortal and became a goddess when Zeus ordained her marriage to Eros, the god of love. She had to earn the respect of her new family of gods, especially her mother in law, Aphrodite. She was challenged to accomplish a series of dangerous and impossible feats, embarking on an exploration of the dark, mysterious places of the soul and earning her place in Mt. Olympus as Goddess of the Soul. She reminds us that integrating our difficult experiences, despite fear, irrevocably transforms us. Her symbol is the butterfly emerging from darkness into the light .
