Archetype Portals

"Treat each archetype as a living mirror,
not a checklist."

The Shadow Threshold

Integration, Not Exorcism

The Shadow is not evil; it is the repository of all we disown. It holds the exiled parts-fear, rage, and golden potential-waiting for the light of witnessing.

The Work: To turn inward with compassion and reclaim the energy trapped in repression.

"One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious." - Carl Jung
