I’ve been slaying dragons on my journey to the underworld, where the goblins whisper doubts into my ears —

Why am I here? What’s wrong with me? Am I worthy? Why me? It’s not fair.

My body hurts, my muscles and nerves scream, “ I have lived like this my whole life — do you hear me,” and the dragons almost win.

The magician awakens, and the sound of blessings travels through the ethers.

Waves sing to me through the mist — Can you shine your light even brighter? Will you live your purpose?

The warrior stands strong — a bearer of courage, joy, and hope.

But how so? I’m scared. Dare I cross the threshold where the wild ones live? Oh yes, all you need is already in you, says the queen.

You’re whole, woven with compassion, and made of trust and peace — the powers are under your skin, veins, and bones.

Drink it in — the Goddess elixir.

The journey of the hero is about the courage to seek the depths, the image of creative rebirth, the eternal cycle of change within us, the uncanny discovery that the seeker is the mystery which the seeker seeks to know ~ Joseph Campbell
