I - Departure
1 - The Call To Adventure
"Whether dream or myth, in these adventures there is an atmosphere of irresistible fascination about the figure that appears suddenly as guide, marking a new period, a new stage, in the biography. That which has to be faced, and is somehow profoundly familiar to the unconscious - though unknown, surprising and even frightening to the conscious personality - makes itself known; and what formerly was meaningful may become strangely emptied of value....Thereafter, even though the hero returns for a while to his familiar occupations, they may be found unfruitful. A series of signs of increasing force then will become visible, until...the summons can no longer be denied."
Joseph Campbell
