Psyche is the goddess of the soul. Her curiosity and her great beauty made her life difficult.  She was the object of Aphrodite’s jealousy. The story of Beauty and the Beast is almost exactly the tale of Psyche. She earns her place in the pantheon by enduring hardship and deceit.  Psychic has come to mean the ability to sense beyond the obvious.  Our experiences in life that test our ability to see through disguises are maturing our psyches.
