Earl Grey Posted October 9, 2019 Have you read the book this came from or did you just find the image alone? The book it originates from is quite clear. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Earl Grey Posted October 9, 2019 Just now, idiot_stimpy said: I just found the image. What book is it from? “Hero with a Thousand Faces” by Joseph Campbell. VERY important reading in the humanities field and historically relevant. I believe that his work is less known by people now for the 21st century, at least in west. It was often cited even in the 1990s and early 2000s by many fiction authors. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

helpfuldemon Posted June 22, 2020 Its depicted in the tarot- indeed, its the main theme of that tool. When you think about life, you can imagine that it is just birth, growth, learning and completion- but a hero is something different. A hero is someone that has a quest for something, and its pretty easy to see that a quest requires a journey, and a confrontation, and a resolution (should the hero be successful). When applying this to the mystical, you have things like the underworld and spirits/gods. In this particular diagram there is the theory that the hero is not infallible, having to realize their own imperfections and make atonement for them. This is life; we are never perfect in the eyes of the gods, though the highest height of our understanding of perfection led us on the quest, we have made our share of mistakes, especially in retrospect after having learned "the truth" from the journey. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
