What parts of ourselves have we rejected? What emotions and desires are we denying? By bringing darkness into light how might we turn weakness into strength?
Join us TOMORROW Friday 6 PM ET @ thestoa.ca for the first session in the Shadowplay series.

I wonder how much of our shadow can be found in the books and novels we choose to read at an early age.
Character development, plots, fictional worlds and lives which play themselves out in our psyche, which we seem to close after the book is done, but do the stories continue?

Totally. The mythology taps into a realm beneath consciousness, where the Shadow resides. Translating my life into a fantasy narrative brings up all kinds of emotions I can’t access otherwise.
Also, at a less conscious time in one’s life, say as a young reader where one is makes choices based on interests that are seemingly fatalistical, we seem to assume the role of the protagonist to our knowledge or not, and it’s good to know your ingredients, as Merlin might say.
