Alchemy of the Soul The Eros and Psyche Myth As a Guide to Transformation

In Alchemy of the Soul, Martin Lowenthal describes how the story of Eros and Psyche illustrates the alchemical process of marrying soul and love so that life can be lived with more joy, meaning, and a tangible sense of divine wisdom. It is an important story of the work of transformation-gaining a balanced sense of self and service in order to grow into a higher, more mature love. In Part I, he gives an evocative retelling of the Eros and Psyche myth. Part II examines the power of myth and alchemy and shows how spiritual alchemy can restore and transform the soul. Part III is an initiation into the alchemical mysteries using the Eros and Psyche myth as mentor. Alchemy of the Soul takes alchemy from the realm of the esoteric and places it in practical terms of story-terms that anyone can understand, value, and use as a guide to life.
