(urth) Grand Unified Theory

[David Stockhoff]

As a regular watcher of True Blood, I find that last a tantalizing 
suggestion.

Psyche was a mortal, not a fairy or a half-fairy, but:

In Greek mythology <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_mythology>, 
Psyche was the deification of the human soul 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soul>. She was portrayed in ancient 
mosaics as a goddess with butterfly 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly> wings. The Greek word psyche 
literally means "spirit, breath, life or animating force". [wiki]

But I digress.
