Introduction
We all have our own mythology. Symbols, heroes, villains, tricksters, monsters, and tokens all converge deep in our subconscious minds to create vivid nightmares and dreamscapes. We are all journeying on our own epic quest with a diverse cast of characters and complex crossroads. What are dreams but the mythological interpretation of our own lives?
With this in mind, I invite you to dream with me.
The Labyrinth is a choose-your-own-adventure game and a puzzle of the soul. It has been constructed from some of the most powerful, pervasive myths and reconfigured to your (our) unique (shared) subconscious human experience. With each path, as in life, you are offered an opportunity for redemption, and with each path, as in life, you may not achieve it. The inner compass of your soul is your navigation through the labyrinth.
The goal of this journey is to face your Shadow Self. The concept comes from Carl Jung's work and also the idea of the id, the baser levels of our subconscious. Some of the memories you revisit may be painful, so please be mindful of this when making your choices.
As you walk the labyrinth, observe the details your mind populates: the portraits, statues, gardens, stone walls, creatures. Allow the labyrinth to fully form in your mind, for it is your mind that we are exploring together. Dream an adventure of your own design with my template as your guide. And most importantly, explore.
