Shadow work at its finest.

The four stages of transmutation in Alchemy are Nigredo, Albedo, Citrinitas and Rubedo. In psychological terms Jung described these as: Confession, Illumination, Education and Transformation.

The imagery of darkness is associated with nigredo/confession -a stage in which the ego is confronted not only with the weight of its earthliness and unlived possibilities, but also with its capacity of evil-.

Yet what appears to be only absence, emptiness and obscurity may actually point to a luminosity, presence and fullness of being peculiar to darkness domain. Is it not, after all, alive and stirring?.

The Giantess of darkness brings alive the fullness of the soul, of being. In the face of the late capitalism structures built with lights the dark poetic beings will remind us of our balance. Of our light.
