Eros, god of love, symbolic of the magnetic powers of attraction. He brings opposites together. Entangles us, igniting sleeping hearts with fires from heaven. Ushering in life with passionate intensity and transforming the soul. If certain love has to be found, he challenges the ego to detach and become free of the unconscious projections of an immature love. The frozen spell like state of the mysterious headiness of love and sex must mature to a soulful love. The false appearances and illusions striped away. Eros; love eventually pulls us down to the underworld and makes us face the unconscious depths and its healing gift. Love/death/love, Persephone must be met. It is not unusual to run from the approach of Eros or request that he not breath the intensity of his fire upon you, less he should destroy you; the very object of his affection.
