Christopher Vogler The Writers Journey
on the journey. Meeting with the M e n t o r is the stage of the Hero's Journey in
which the hero gains the supplies, knowledge, and confidence needed to overcome
fear and commence the adventure.
You Seekers, fearful at the brink of adventure, consult with the elders of the Home Tribe. Seek
out those who have gone before. Learn the secret lore of watering holes, game trails, and berry
patches, and what badlands, quicksand, and monsters to avoid. An old one, toofeeble to go out
again, scratches a mapfor us in the dirt. The shaman of the tribe presses something into your
hand, a magic gift, a potent talisman that will protect us and guide us on the quest. Now we
can set out with lighter hearts and greater confidence, for we take with us the collected wisdom
of the Home Tribe.
