Ep80 - Sleep Token, Jungian Shadow Work & Mythic Alchemy ┃ Deep-Dive with "The Host" of the Sleep Study Podcast.

"When you shine... what part of you must die to be witnessed?"

In this unfiltered, myth-rich conversation, I join the brilliant minds behind the Sleep Study Podcast to explore the psychological, spiritual, and emotional terrain behind Sleep Token, shadow integration, and the archetype of the Wounded Performer.

We go far deeper than music. This is a journey through Jungian shadow work, anima possession, and the psychic cost of creation. It's about how modern content creators—especially men—are called into the arena to be sacrificed on the altar of attention, and what it takes to survive the process while still becoming whole.

🧠 What We Unpack:

• Why the music of Sleep Token is more than a sound — it's a summoning

• How the Anima seduces the soul of the artist and turns admiration into addiction

• The truth behind fan worship, creator burnout, and the internal fragmentation of performance

• Jungian alchemy as a roadmap to transmute your wounds into creative gold

• Christ, Odin, and Vessel — the shared myth of the sacrificed god

• Why creators must die to be free, and how to resurrect on their own terms

• Tools for shadow integration, embodiment, and becoming your own mythic Self

This episode is not entertainment. It is initiation.
