This is so called because it is the 'dark' side of your psyche, the parts of yourself that you have not previously brought into the light of consciousness. It is, for this reason, the 'primitive' (undeveloped or underdeveloped) side of your personality. It is also the 'negative' side of your personality, insofar as it is the opposite of whatever you have hitherto regarded as making a positive contribution to your well being. In dreams your shadow may be represented either by some figure of the same sex as yourself (an elder brother or sister, your best friend, or some alien or primitive person) or by a person who represents your opposite (and of the same sex).

JCF Site Search Page. Roundtable Program. The Joseph Campbell® Foundation's Mythological RoundTable® (MRT) groups are gatherings of people drawn together by a deep and abiding interest in all things mythological.
Much like the Round Table of yore, it is a place where individual and community come together -- a place to play, plan, create, partake in ritual, and share tales of one's own quest with companions well met. But the Mythological RoundTable® groups do more than just enrich the individual; they also offer the opportunity to introduce Joseph Campbell's work to the wider community, carrying his vision off the page and out into the real world. There is no set curriculum for Mythological RoundTable® gatherings -- each group takes on the character of those who form it. As part of our Mythological RoundTable® Program, we publish the 49 page resource-rich MRT Leader's Guide and provide mentors to leaders of new MRT groups.

You're an excellent writer. I was extra-excited to leap to the comment section before even reading this thoroughly, because I've been studying this very subject all semester at grad school.

Over one hundred years ago, on March 26th in 1904, Joseph John Campbell was born in White Plains, NY.
Joe, as he came to be known, was the first child of a middle-class, Roman Catholic couple, Charles and Josephine Campbell. Joe's earliest years were largely unremarkable; but then, when he was seven years old, his father took him and his younger brother, Charlie, to see Buffalo Bill's Wild West show. The evening was a high-point in Joe's life; for, although the cowboys were clearly the show's stars, as Joe would later write, he "became fascinated, seized, obsessed, by the figure of a naked American Indian with his ear to the ground, a bow and arrow in his hand, and a look of special knowledge in his eyes.” It was Arthur Schopenhauer, the philosopher whose writings would later greatly influence Campbell, who observed that And so it was with young Joseph Campbell. When Joe returned from Europe late in August of 1929, he was at a crossroad, unable to decide what to do with his life. Joseph Campbell Foundation Triangel. Joseph Campbell Foundation Mission.
