Come meet & mingle! We’re keeping it just a little traditional over here 😉 \nThis month we will discuss the timeless myth of Eros & Psyche — a myth that encapsulates the transformative nature of love. In Greek mythology\, Eros\, the god of love & desire\, fell deeply in love with Psyche\, a mortal of extraordinary beauty. Theirs was no standard love story\, but a journey filled with impossible trials meant to test the strength of their love. This myth was chosen to coincide with the liminal last day of Venus’ transit through Libra before she ingresses into Scorpio\, a vivid annual shift in the collective Venusian energy of love & relationships\, as well as beauty\, balance & harmony.

This is church. A place to feel closer to the red thread of spirit that connects us all. A place to meet other people like you. \nChurch of Myth will be held on the 3rd Sunday of each month at Star + Splendor at 96 Congress Street\, Troy\, NY\, from 4 – 5:30 pm.\nThere will be a myth-based sermon followed by a corresponding ritual.\nEach month will be different; each mythic tale chosen to reflect the stars\, as well as our collective hearts & minds.\nAll are welcome.\nCoffee hour will follow Church. Come meet & mingle! We’re keeping it just a little traditional over here 😉 \nCHAPTER 1: PAN \nPan\, god and protector of shepherds and all untamed\, wild places\, is one of the greatest and most powerful of the ancient Gods. Depicted as half-man and half-goat\, he represents nature in all of its raw\, wild strength\, and is a symbol of the joyous and often gruesome way nature goes about propagating her own fertility and abundance. \nAs the initiatory meeting of Church of Myth occurs so close to the Summer solstice\, Pan is undoubtedly the perfect mythic figure to start with.
