“The hero leaves, the hero suffers, the hero returns. You are that hero” -Stephen Pressfield. Have you heard of the concept of the heroes journey? It appears all over literature for thousands of years. Since the epic of Gilgamesh, humans have been writing about this archetype.

We are going to talk about their powerful transformation ability and how they guide on our own heroes journey. Let’s get into it!
