“The usual hero adventure begins with someone from whom something has been taken, or who feels there is something lacking in the normal experience available or permitted to the members of society. The person then takes off on a series of adventures beyond the ordinary, either to recover what has been lost or to discover some life-giving elixir. It’s usually a cycle, a coming and a returning.”  Joseph Campbell, The Hero With a Thousand Faces According to Joseph Campbell the elixir is a treasure to benefit yourself and others but you have to travel to the “un-ordinary” world to get it. The Elixir could be an idea, a skill, a wisdom, a new realisation, a message from the future or a message from the past, from other timelines or from some past life or ancestor.….anything really that wells up from your centre into the light of your awareness. This elixir has always been there with you and for you. And there is always more than one elixir. Maybe you have known about it since you were little. Maybe its only now being revealed because you are ready to receive it. The elixir could also present itself as a symbol or colourThe Elixir by Stephen Fearnley
