Death (Archetype)
The archetype of transformation through release.
Advanced definition
Not literal death but the pattern of endings that make beginnings possible: the old self, the old pattern, the old certainty — released so that new form can emerge.
For reflection
"What in me is already dead but still taking up space?"
