Welcome to Myth and Darkness
This website is dedicated to my ongoing scholarly exploration of myth and darkness, delving into the symbolic narratives that shape our understanding of creation, the afterlife, and the unconscious. At the heart of this journey are ancient myths that reveal the profound connections between darkness, the void, chaos, and the primordial waters that birth the universe.

​

Through this investigation, I look at how the void or darkness in these stories represents the unknown depths of the unconscious, a space where transformation begins. The symbolism of water, often depicted as a chaotic, primordial force, aligns with the archetypal image of the unconscious—constantly flowing, shaping, and creating. Through studying these myths, we can rediscover the cyclical nature of creation and destruction, always returning to the mystery of the dark, where the spirit of humanity resides.

 

Join me as I explore these timeless tales and uncover the truths they reveal about the human experience, both conscious and unconscious.
