The Hero With A Thousand Faces

hero



Central to so many world great mythologies and religions is the story of a hero and a journey that transforms him. From his quiet life at home, the hero is called to action and must set off to the unknown in the quest of his own particular grail.

After a series of lesser trials en route to his goal, he must then face a supreme challenge. If he passes this, he is able to take home the knowledge he has gained from his travels. The idea of the hero and his testing odyssey carries echo of the journey we all make from birth to death.

We all can be heros of our own lives if we choose to be.
