Ask the Ancients sketch

"Ask the Ancients"

acrylic sketch from my Celtic sketchbook

Hero`s Journey. There is always an obstacle on the path and there is always help offered - for those brave enough to ask.

"...a hero ventures forth from the world of common day into a region of supernatural wonder: fabulous forces are there encountered and a decisive victory is won: the hero comes back from this mysterious adventure with the power to bestow boons on his fellow man."

(In narratology and comparative mythology, the hero's journey, or the monomyth, is the common template of stories that involve a hero who goes on an adventure, is victorious in a decisive crisis, and comes home changed or transformed. )
