From the fortress...

the hero begins the great journey, the descent sparked by disillusionment. The once-mighty tower of safety, security, and belonging has lost its charm and become a cage, The hero sets out because the fear of the unknown, across the labyrinth and through the dark forest, now pales in comparison to the dread of staying in the familiar.

As the great soul doctor, C.G. Jung, said: "Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it Fate."
