The tale of Prince Lindworm, a mysterious Norse folktale, explores themes of duality, transformation, and the shadow self.

Discover the origins of the Lindworm myth in Northern Europe and its connections to Norse and Scandinavian folklore. How does this “serpent bridegroom” embody the challenge of confronting our inner darkness? And what can we learn from his tale in a modern world increasingly drawn to shadow work and self-integration?
