Review # 1 was written on 2011-02-24 00:00:00 Peter A Handley I've been studying the myth of Cupid and Psyche, and this is the best book I've found so far to dig into the deeper levels of the story as found in Apuleius. In the beginning I was sceptical about what a man writing in the early 1950's might have to say about the "development of the feminine" -- but Neumann's interpretation of the mythic elements of the story seemed right on target. He also avoided the trap many other authors have fallen into; rather than creating a moralistic story by tweaking the original tale or omitting key elements in order to force it to conform to a particular paradigm of spiritual growth, he grapples with the story in its entirety. Even if a person did not agree with his specific, Jungian interpretation, Neumann does provide an excellent example of how a myth can yield deeper meaning by looking at each act and each character or figure as more than it first appears.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-03-14 00:00:00 Kate Keys BRILLIANT! The book has two components, the myth and the commentary. The myth is an easy read, the commentary is not an easy read but very worthy of persistence. The analysis is spot on. I can relate on a personal and on a universal level. I captures the current mood as well. It sets out why and how modern woman is being seduced by the dark sides of the great mother and by a toxic sisterhood. It describes why modern men are lying wounded in their caves scolded by the burning wax of women's illumination. It describes how women are getting in touch with their masculine consciousness to transcendent, and it prophesies on how personal love for individual man, and connection with our deep personal unconscious, will make us return to our feminine state, ready to meet men or the man on a truly equal footing and welcome the divine seed of immortality and bring joy into the world. It provides me with faith and consolation regarding the sorry state we have put ourselves in and frames it as both necessary and temporary.
