When we search within, we inevitably find the underworld - lost
connections, failed enterprises, haunting memories, insecurities
and buried secrets. This book unites self-discovery with mythology,
returning the underworld to its rightful place - a dreaded realm
that harbours profound transformation, richness and expansion.
Using archetypes from mythology, psychotherapist, Joanna LaPrade,
PhD, teaches readers that experiences of darkness are natural and
necessary markers along the path of growth and discovery. We all
experience darkness, and this comprehensive and accessible guide
will show readers of all ages how to embrace the shadowed parts of
themselves. For millennia, cultures around the world have told
myths about the underworld. It is a tragedy that the only image we
have in the West is that of Hercules, requiring us to be strong and
defeat the shadowed parts of our life. Forged in Darkness explores
the archetype Hercules represents and turns toward other heroes and
gods for models of journeying into darkness. When we question,
learn to accept and make sacrifices, Odysseus is present. We
acknowledge Dionysus when we reconnect with what is volcanic,
unrestrained and feral. We may experience Persephone as we're
abducted from our comforts and connected to a mysterious authority
within.
