Birthdate:	1980-11-01

Bio

A personification of the soul, Psyche did not start out as such. She was the youngest of three daughters of an unidentified king of Miletus and exceedingly beautiful. Her beauty was such that many believed that she was Aphrodite reincarnated, and she incurred the jealousy of Aphrodite when men neglected the worship of the goddess just to catch sight of Psyche. Outraged, Aphrodite enlisted her son Eros to cause Psyche to fall in love with the most base and vile of mankind; instead Eros himself was stricken by her loveliness and fell immediately in love with her.

Goddess Symbols and Sacred Objects of Psyche

Goddess symbols, individualized for each goddess, were incorporated into the worship of the ancient goddesses, were often worn as jewelry, and also used in the household decor as talismans to seek the goddesses special gifts, blessings, or protection. A large number of goddess symbols have survived in statuary and other works of art.

Many of the goddess symbols come from the legends surrounding a specific goddess and were "characters" in her story. Other goddess symbols were derived from the rituals used in the ancient rites of worship of these pagan goddesses.

Psyche is often represented by symbols associated with her brave search for truth and understanding. It is not surprizing that many of our icons representing spirituality and healing are derived from the ancient goddess symbols of Psyche.
