Welcome: The Tasks of Preparation & the Gatherer
Welcome: The Tasks of Preparation & the Gatherer
This module focuses on the next phase of hearing The Call in the Heroic Journey. The Call is a multi-faceted aspect of the Heroic Journey—there are several phases within it, so, this is a continuation of our inquiry into it from Module 3. Now, we will focus on what happens when the protagonist, after first refusing and then accepting The Call, finds themselves faced with Tasks of Preparation—getting ready for the journey. At this stage, it is the Gatherer Archetype that is activated. This is a ripe place for mentorship for pregnant people. After gathering, the protagonist begins to shift to being hungry for self-knowledge and awareness. This is when the Hunter/Huntress archetype is activated, the one who gets quiet, and listens deeply. Here too, the Love Warrior, the archetype who brings compassion to one's self, can become awakened.
