| Stage | Definition | Your Steps |
| | | |
| The hero starts off in a mundane situation of normality from which some information is received that acts as a call to head off into the unknown. | she gets mad at mom and her mom flies across the room. | |
| `Refusal of the call | Often when the call is given, the future hero refuses to heed it. This may be from a sense of duty or obligation, fear, insecurity, a sense of inadequacy, or any of a range of reasons that work to hold the person in his or her current circumstances. | she’s in denial and she test her powers to see if she really has them. |
| Once the hero has committed to the quest, consciously or unconsciously, his or her guide and magical helper appears, or becomes known. More often than not, this supernatural mentor will present the hero with one or more talismans or artifacts that will aid them later in their quest. | her dad gives her advice about her powers. | |
| This is the point where the person actually crosses into the field of adventure, leaving the known limits of his or her world and venturing into an unknown and dangerous realm where the rules and limits are not known | She sees the evil dead people and they attack her and she doesn’t know how to use her powers yet. | |
| The belly of the whale represents the final separation from the hero's known world and self. By entering this stage, the person shows their willingness to undergo a metamorphosis. | she uses the only few spells she can remember from the book. | |
| | | |
| The road of trials is a series of tests, tasks, or ordeals that the person must undergo to begin the transformation. Often the person fails one or more of these tests, which often occur in threes. | she has a list of spells she has to memorize. learn to control emotions. learn how to aim. | |
| This is the point when the person experiences a love that has the power and significance of the all-powerful, all encompassing, unconditional love that a fortunate infant may experience with his or her mother. This is a very important step in the process and is often represented by the person finding the other person that he or she loves most completely. | she meets her grandmother when she comes inside the house. | |
| This step is about those temptations that may lead the hero to abandon or stray from his or her quest, which does not necessarily have to be represented by a woman. Woman is a metaphor for the physical or material temptations of life, since the hero-knight was often tempted by lust from his spiritual journey. | she gets aggravated and instigators ruff them up to fight and she uses her power to hurt someone at school. | |
| In this step the person must confront and be initiated by whatever holds the ultimate power in his or her life. In many myths and stories this is the father, or a father figure who has life and death power. This is the center point of the journey. All the previous steps have been moving in to this place, all that follow will move out from it. Although this step is most frequently symbolized by an encounter with a male entity, it does not have to be a male; just someone or thing with incredible power. | her mother finally gets over the studying thing and she decides it is best if her daughter learns to control her powers. | |
| When someone dies a physical death, or dies to the self to live in spirit, he or she moves beyond the pairs of opposites to a state of divine knowledge, love, compassion and bliss. A more mundane way of looking at this step is that it is a period of rest, peace and fulfillment before the hero begins the return. | when she gets home from school nobody is there so she calls her dad and he won’t answer. So she called her mom and she wouldn’t answer. So she just called her brother. And he answered the phone. And when he told her why mom or dad wouldn’t answer the phone she became distraught and cause the power in the neighborhood to go out. | |
| The ultimate boon is the achievement of the goal of the quest. It is what the person went on the journey to get. All the previous steps serve to prepare and purify the person for this step, since in many myths the boon is something transcendent like the elixir of life itself, or a plant that supplies immortality, or the holy grail. | she kills the guy who killed her father. and gets secret spell book back. | |
| | | |
| Having found bliss and enlightenment in the other world, the hero may not want to return to the ordinary world to bestow the boon onto his fellow man. | her mom wants her daughter to come back home after she killed the guy but she decides to stay. | |
| Sometimes the hero must escape with the boon, if it is something that the gods have been jealously guarding. It can be just as adventurous and dangerous returning from the journey as it was to go on it. | attack by pack of evil spirits. she says a spell that lets them rest in peace. | |
| Just as the hero may need guides and assistants to set out on the quest, oftentimes he or she must have powerful guides and rescuers to bring them back to everyday life, especially if the person has been wounded or weakened by the experience. | her mom comes and used spell to heal daughters bruises. | |
| The trick in returning is to retain the wisdom gained on the quest, to integrate that wisdom into a human life, and then maybe figure out how to share the wisdom with the rest of the world. This is usually extremely difficult. | she learned to control her powers. and when she gets angry she doesn’t hurts people. | |
| This step is usually represented by a transcendental hero like Jesus or Buddha. For a human hero, it may mean achieving a balance between the material and spiritual. The person has become comfortable and competent in both the inner and outer worlds. | she meets people who understands her powers and has different powers than she does, but the same problem she had. they open up a place for people with special gifts. | |
| Mastery leads to freedom from the fear of death, which in turn is the freedom to live. This is sometimes referred to as living in the moment, neither anticipating the future nor regretting the past. | |
Exihibition
