The Labyrinth is one of the most ancient and enduring symbols in Greek myth — the vast maze built by Daedalus beneath King Minos’s palace at Knossos to contain the Minotaur. But beyond its mythic architecture, the Labyrinth represents the inward journey of the soul. Unlike a maze designed to confuse, the Labyrinth has only one path — winding, circuitous, but always leading to the center and back out again.

To walk the Labyrinth is to trace the pattern of life’s initiations: descent into confusion, encounter with the shadow, and return with new wisdom. The Minotaur at its heart symbolizes our fear and instinct; Ariadne’s thread, our intuition that guides us through. Together they form the map of healing — the path of courage through the inner world.

When the Labyrinth appears, it signals a turning inward. You are being invited to walk the path of reflection, to face what lies at your center, and to return renewed. The journey may seem winding, but its goal is clarity: to find yourself again at the heart of the mystery.

Myth and Meaning

1. The Wound —
The wound of the Labyrinth is confusion — the pain of feeling lost, uncertain, or trapped in cycles of the mind. It may manifest as indecision or fear of taking the wrong path.

2. The Mask —
You may wear the mask of the Seeker — always searching, questioning, or trying new paths without pause. This mask hides impatience and the fear that stillness will reveal discomfort.

3. The Trigger —
Moments of disorientation, endings, or self-doubt awaken this wound. When you cannot see the way ahead, anxiety and resistance arise.

4. The Medicine —
Presence and patience. The Labyrinth’s medicine is trust in process — to keep walking, knowing every twist has purpose. The way forward is not through speed, but through surrender to the journey itself.

5. The Gift —
Your gift is insight born of perseverance. You understand that wisdom is not a destination but a path. Through your journeying, you guide others to find peace in uncertainty.

6. The Path Forward —
Follow the thread. The path forward is conscious movement toward your own center — to meet your shadow and your light without fear. The Labyrinth teaches that every step inward is also a step home.
