DiLiGO: Helping you find love this Valentines

Who is that naked little cherub going around shooting people with his arrow in every cheap Valentine’s Day TV commercial? We see him everywhere, causing mischief and being silly. Yet not many people realise that in Roman mythology, Cupid is very powerful.

Today we might think he is cute, but in the past people understood that Cupid’s Arrow could change your life forever.

So, to help you make Valentine’s Day about more than just chocolate boxes and greeting cards, let’s take a closer look at Cupid, the God of Love.

Cupid and Psyche is one of the most famous ancient stories about the power of love and passion to lead us into a rich and meaningful life. In the story, Cupid accidently pricks himself with his arrow and falls in love with the mortal princess Psyche. The interesting thing is that Psyche means ‘soul’. Everything that happens to her in the story is about how one’s soul grows and changes through love.

Psyche and Cupid get married but he never lets her see his face, because he doesn’t want her to realise he is immortal. She loves her new husband but her sisters tell her that he must be a monster if he hides from her.

So one night, she holds a candle over his sleeping face and sees that he is in fact the most beautiful young man. A drop of wax wakes him up and, furious at her betrayal, Cupid flees. Psyche is left desolate and alone. At this point, she is still young and naïve, but then she goes on a long journey to find him, and everything changes for her.

The Goddess Venus, Cupid’s mother does not want Psyche, a mere mortal, to be with her son. So she sets Psyche a series of impossible tasks. Psyche is very upset and depressed because she does not believe in herself. Nevertheless, every time she remembers Cupid she has a stroke of incredible good luck. No matter how difficult the task, she always succeeds. Moved by Psyche’s incredible passion and devotion, Cupid returns to her and then all the Gods agree to make Psyche immortal.

Cupid’s love is about much more than just soap opera romance. The story shows how “falling in love” moves your soul into action and gives you a chance to accomplish things you never believed you could. Cupid’s Arrow inspires passion for many different things like raising a child, caring for a friend or tending to a long-term project. When this kind of enthusiasm strikes you, the doors to Cupid’s realm open and ordinary life becomes a love affair with the world.

That is when things fall into place and you start generating your own good fortune.
