https://ionamiller2020.weebly.com/cybele.html Sing to me O Muse, clear voiced daughter of great Zeus, Of the mother of all gods and of all men. In the din of rattles and drums and in the sound of pipes she delights. In the howl of wolves and the roar of glaring lions, in resounding mountains and wooded glands she finds her joy (Homeric Hymn 14). Any time in the wilds of Earth now brings solace, without which we lose our psychological and spiritual footing as the ongoing litany of loss, corruption, degradation, aggression, death and trauma that is the daily news assaults us all. It is in nature, and loving nature with all our hearts on a daily basis, where we find the equanimity necessary to continue walking forward into our increasingly broken world. "Even if the recollection of mythology is perhaps the single most characteristic move shared by all 'archetypalists', the myths themselves are understood as metaphors—never as transcendental metaphysics whose categories are divine figures. ... Myths do not ground, they open." [James Hillman, Archetypal Psychology: A Brief Account. Dallas: Spring, 1983, p. 20]
