Twinship myths from around the world address the dynamics of duality underlying the physical world, and key intrapsychic and interpersonal polarities and tensions. As with much of mythology, many twinship myths are teaching tales that offer solutions to ambivalence and conflict. Twins who do not resolve their differences perish. Those who do are often the creators and/or guardians of new civilizations or whole worlds/realms. Such twins are either divine, or they transcend their humanity to become divine. Through the “alchemy” of the resolution of duality, they attain a more complex, non-dual psychic structure and existence. At the very least, there are lessons in twinship myths relevant to Jungian shadow work and the dangers of othering aspects of ourselves and other people.
