You'll never look at Star Wars in the same way again now!
If you want to dig a little deeper, Sharon Blackie has done a lot of work on myth, especially in the Celtic Tradition, and one of the thing she talks about is whether the Hero template fits with the experiences of women - can there be a Heroine's Journey, and if so what would it look like?
Sharon has her own Substack and has written a truly wonderful book about her own journey to self-realisation, "If Women Rose Rooted." I can also recommend The Heroine's Journey by Maureen Murdock.
It was great to hear you talk about this on our Heart Leap call this morning Anne. Such an inspiring post - and story. Really spurs me on with my own journey. Thank you x

Thanks for a really interesting post.
Ooh thank you. I’ll check that out. It’s absolutely fascinating as you dig deeper.
Thank you for this recommendation. I will watch this tonight x
Even though I knew about the hero’s journey I found this life changing and it’s made me think about my own journey and my book.

What a wonderful post Anne, and thanks for the link to the film 🙏❤️
Thank you. I found it so enlightening and inspiring.
Oh I love this post! I identify with the hero’s journey very much. Though I’m intrigued in what is written about women’s!
Welcome to Substack Anne, I can’t wait to read your book🤩
