Mythology Summary
Cupid is the Roman god of desire, the winged archer son of Venus, familiar from Apuleius as the lover of Psyche. He is the same force as the Greek Eros in Roman dress; both faces are kept here because the myths differ - the Greek primordial power and the Roman child of love.
Modern Practice
Cupid is worked with in love and attraction magic, and his caution is the classic one: desire aimed well is a beginning, not a promise. His day is Friday and his offerings are sweet rather than solemn.
