about

Half myth, half fairy tale, this story was first told by Apuleius in the 2nd century but it stills speaks to the mysteries of love and the challenge of finding your Self in relationship with an Other. Are we talking about men and women? Sure. Are we talking about the inner masculine and feminine? Right again. There are many levels and angles to contemplate in this story, and many faces of the Other, divine and otherwise.

In parts 1 and 2 I tell the story. In part 3 we walk back through the myth and talk about the psychological implications of the story. Along the way I’ll offer one interpretation of the metaphors and symbols in this tale of love found, lost, and found again.

You can also find my version of the story along with some other thoughts and commentary posted on my blog at Mythic Mojo.

The track art is Cupid and Psyche Fresco by Giulio Romano, 1526-1528.
