"It's the Red that urges you on, gives you the courage to take a position, draw a line in the sand. It's the Red that lets you dream big, pack a suitcase, and head out on an adventure. Someone in the Red is not crippled with self-doubt but can act decisively in their ambition to get ahead."
European folktales consistently feature three colors—red, black, and white—that correspond to distinct modes of human being and maturation. Red represents ambition, life force, ego, and courage, embodying the adolescent drive to act decisively without self-doubt. Black symbolizes introspection, shadow work, and the darker aspects of experience. White represents wisdom, transcendence, and spiritual understanding. Each mode carries both gifts and shadows, naturally aligning with particular life seasons while remaining accessible throughout life. Most people lack sufficient development in one of these modes without recognizing it. These archetypal colors function as a psychological and spiritual map for understanding human development and self-knowledge through the wisdom embedded in traditional stories and myths.
