The realm of transformation as well as treachery, mystery and magic, and ultimately, the dual medicine of death and regeneration… Journeying into the underworld brings as many trials as it does rewards.

No matter where you find yourself in cycles of transformation, take heart from three tales of those who have ventured—both willingly and unwillingly—into the darkness, and returned bearing treasure for themselves and their communities.
