Carl Jung said the labyrinth is a metaphor for complexities of the psyche. He said, ‘The labyrinth is a paradoxical structure in which the way in, is the way out. The path of individuation is not a straight line but a winding, recursive process, full of detours and reversals. Just as the labyrinth walker must continually return to the beginning, confronting the same challenges and mysteries at ever-deeper levels.’
