Descent
Every December, I slip into a quiet depression, longing for solitude to reflect on the year and my vivid dreams. Through mythology and James Hillman’s teachings on the descent to the underworld, I realized it wasn’t Christmas I resented—it was the fear of my own journey into the depths of my soul. Like Persephone and Eve, I discovered that descending into darkness is a path to greater self-awareness, balance, and light. Embracing solitude and self-care has been my healing thread, weaving connections across my life like the Spider Goddess herself.
