Deepen into your wild soul…
Love and Soul-Making
SEARCHING THE DEPTHS OF ROMANTIC LOVE
Published by Chiron Publications, May 1 2022
Romantic relationships are often laden with psychological expectations of mythic proportions.
This book examines key relationship fairy tales and myths, including the myth of Psyche and Eros, as it mines the treasures of depth psychological thinking about love, desire, sexuality, and marriage. Concepts such as libido, anima and animus, projection, transference, and beauty are queried along with the premise of two unions, the inner and the outer.
Romantic relationships can serve as the alchemical vessel for the development of the feminine soul in individuals as part of the individuation process.
The struggles of relationships can provide the context for us to engage more deeply with the psyche and can guide us further into her territory. For those experiencing romantic difficulties, the myth of Psyche and Eros can serve as a guide to the stages involved in developing the feminine principle and how that is enacted in the external world in human relationships.

Reviews Of Love and Soul-Making
“Few things are as important to a human being as the combination of love and soul-making. This beautifully written book shows you how to serve your soul while allowing love to have its way with you – a path to meaning and pleasure.”
“Shelby, brilliantly and convincingly argues, romance is first and foremost about the individual’s calling to love soul, their own soul, and the soul of the world, and reciprocally to find soul in, to make soul from, and to serve soul through love’s many expressions”
“Soulful ecstasy awaits those who surrender to the hidden agenda of romantic love”
“Shelby illuminates what an Eros-inspired life might look like. With a gaze focused on the soul and the ancient myth of Eros and Psyche as a guide, Shelby offers us ways in which to engage the foundational and archetypal energies of love. Through this lens, love and passion infuse all areas of living, within and beyond intimate partnerships. As Shelby writes, “The truth we hold close is that love is everything, and because love has this power, it is always there within us and within those we love.” In this insightful book, we come to understand the extraordinary creative energies available to us through love—Eros— as well as the myriad forms in which these energies might make themselves known.”
“Love and Soul-Making is a ground breaking and relevant book that is both personally rewarding and ultimately points toward transformative balm on a larger societal scale during troubled and divisive times.”
“This book is a must read for anyone wanting to learn how to surrender to love more fearlessly. I believe that if more of the world understood what Dr Shelby describes in this book, the world would be a much more free, beautiful, creative and erotic, ultimately a more loving, place.”
Tracking The Wild Women Archetype
A GUIDE TO BECOMING A WHOLE, IN-DIVISIBLE WOMAN
Published by Chiron Publications, 2018
By midlife, a woman may become conscious of some of the ways culture has overdomesticated her, and she may have become aware of her own wild, instinctual animal nature. The wild woman archetype within a woman’s psyche is an expression of her innate, soulful essence.
Many women within patriarchy become socialized in a way that leads them to be overly “civilized” or overly “domesticated” almost from birth and that domestication affects how they express their sexuality and conduct relationships.
When a woman becomes conscious of the wild woman archetype, she then becomes free to explore sexuality and relationships on her own terms.

5 OUT OF 5 STARS – OH, HELL YES!
My poor reading chair. Having always welcomed me with open arms, providing both emotional and lumbar support, she may have finally had enough as I repeatedly slammed my palm on her faithful arm, followed by a slew of positive profanities Oprah would politely label “A-hah!” moments.Tracking The Wild Woman Archetype articulates that which I have felt and partially experienced, but have been unable to put in words. Through Dr. Shelby’s personal experiences, insight and research, what has been intrinsic is taking an conscious and obvious shape. I highly recommend this book for all who wish to have a deeper understanding of oneself and our shared path.
