“Those who are excluded for being socially unacceptable revert more to exploring the inner realms. This means they’re not afraid of being in the dark, for they have seen the darker side of human nature and learned to process their own fears. Hel learns the value of suffering and grief. She knows firsthand that if we don’t express the landscape of darker thoughts and feelings, we will be lost in limbo, neither fully alive nor dead. Only by honoring our feeling nature can we awaken the wise woman.”
