Don't Be Afraid of the Dark - What Celtic and Norse Mythology Teaches Us About Transformation
Why were ancient Celts and Norse peoples unafraid of darkness?
In this episode, we explore how these northern cultures understood darkness not as the enemy of light, but as its essential partner. Discover the Celtic concept of darkness as a womb of renewal through Samhain and the goddess Cailleach, and explore Norse cosmology where darkness birthed the world itself.
Learn four profound truths about darkness that can transform how you navigate uncertainty, grief, and life transitions.
This isn't just mythology - it's a radical reframe for anyone experiencing their own 'dark time.'
