Myth and Mischief!

The winged impish boy outfitted with bow and arrows of love is one of the most popular symbols of Valentine's Day! His love for his mortal bride, Psyche, is one of intrigue, temptation and, the true test of pure love~ forgiveness. Venus, Goddess of Love, was jealous of the beauty of Psyche and she sent Cupid to punish her. Instead he fell deeply in love and married her. But even so, Psyche was not permitted to cast her eyes upon Cupid. But, alas, she did~ and he left her~ homeless and bereft. She wandered to find him and found herself in, of all places, the Temple of Venus. Still jealous, Venus plotted to destroy poor Psyche by setting her off on a series of tasks that were increasingly difficult. The last being to retrieve some of the beauty of Persephone, wife of Pluto, from the underworld and put it in a box. But she was warned not to open the box and once again she could not resist temptation and upon opening the box fell into a deep sleep. Cupid came upon her, and moved by his abiding love, forgave her, gathered her body's deadly slumber into the box and sealed it. Venus also forgave her~ and the other Gods, moved by Cupid's love for Psyche, turned her into a Goddess to live side by side, two hearts as one, with Cupid, her God of Love.
