Join us Tuesday, November 27 at 7:30 PM for “Psyche and Eros”, a mythical love story, our next Wicca 101 class presented by Rhys.
The myth of Psyche and Eros is probably one of the most beautiful Greek myths; it has been told and retold in several different versions and it has inspired artists all over the world.
“Myths and symbols are in the language of the soul. A myth helps us to take a situation to heart and know what we must do: if it is to see the truth and act upon it, then the image of Psyche with her sword provides a magic perspective. A symbolic object can then be a talisman that helps us to do what we need to do. Like passing a literal torch, these are rituals that empower us by infusing an act with a deeper meaning. To think and act this way is magical, metaphoric thinking that can call forth the qualities we need from within ourselves and may also tap into sources of help that lie beyond us.” (Jean Shinoda-Bolin).

‘How does that which is above us relate to our life on earth?’ The knowledge of astrology stems from that ever-continuing search. The word astrology, derived from the Greek roots meaning word or reason of the stars, is now applied to the study of the relationship between the heavenly bodies and life on earth. Astrology is a tool that you can use to expand your understanding of yourself, and of the world we all share.
Join us Tuesday, November 13 at 7:30 PM for “Astrology 101” our next Wicca 101 class presented by Aleksandra.
