We all know the touch of the underworld. It shows up in grief, illness and injury, violence and trauma, and the greater and lesser moments of challenge, change, and uncertainty.

Today, the underworld is not respected. It’s dreaded, repressed, and shamed. We have abandoned darkness, and more and more we deny it, prioritizing the fantasy of an unblemished, “positive” life. Our “fix-it” attitude has made us face hardship from one perspective—we willfully survive and beat our demons into submission.

Forged in Darkness turns to the heroes and gods of Greek myth to give us different ways of journeying into our darkness. In doing so, it encourages us to see darkness as a necessary and transformative marker along the path of growth.
