Roman statue of Erato, 2nd century AD.
Erato*
Alchemical Blues move
into Red
Psyche and Eros arise
and fly
From Soul to Soul –
From Eye to Eye
My Heart swells like a
newborn Sun
Under the vault of
Heaven –
The great Sea shines in
violet Light –
It is the End of
Endless Night.

**Psyche and Eros:
archetypal lovers whose story symbolizing the development, healing and
integration of feminine consciousness.
Psyche personifies the individualization of consciousness out of oceanic
Aphrodite’s cosmic feminine principle.
Psyche (Soul) must perform exacting and seemingly impossible tasks
before she is able to re-unite with her beloved Eros, the God of Love. Their sacred marriage engenders not only psychological
wholeness, but also the birth of their offspring – Pleasure.
