I - Departure
1 - The Call To Adventure
"...all moments of separation and new birth produce anxiety....the same archetypal images are activated, symbolizing danger, reassurance, trial, passage and the strange holiness of the mysteries of birth."
"the disgusting and rejected frog or dragon of the fairy tale...is the representative of that unconscious deep...wherein are hoarded all of the rejected, unadmitted, unrecognized, unknown or undeveloped factors, laws, and elements of existence....The herald or announcer of the adventure, therefore, is often dark, loathly, or terrifying, judged evil of the world; yet if one could follow, the way would be opened through the walls of day into the dark where the jewels glow. Or the herald is a beast...representative of the repressed instinctual fecundity within ourselves, or again a veiled mysterious figure - the unknown."
Joseph Campbell
