When the Dragon Stirs (okładka  miękka)

We think of fairy stories, myths and legends as something for our children that we grow out of as we grow up. But hidden within their simplicity are deep messages that reveal great truths about our lives and journeys as human beings. We find the characters of the stories within us: when we are wise we find our wise person, when strong we find our warrior, when powerful we find our king, when compassionate we find our lover. Ever-present is always the dragon, that which holds us back from our true being and seeks to keep us from our journey. In this book you meet all those archetypes and more to give you hope, encouragement and understanding for your personal journey through your own enchanted land. Take heart brave soul and join in the journey that will lead you to yourself and to a rich and meaningful life. "Victor MacGill has skillfully drawn from a wide range of mythological and archetypal resources to shed light on the inner journey." --David Feinstein Ph D, Co-author of Personal Mythology, Using Ritual, Dreams and Imagination to Discover Your Inner Story This is not a journey for the faint-hearted, for the dragons we encounter are real and will indeed devour us if they can. Most of us shrink back from the real adventure of life, preferring to live within the safe walls of our castle, rather than venturing out into a perilous world. There is a wonderful song of life within us waiting to be sung. But alas, most of us take our song with us to the grave. If we have the courage to sing it, we gain the king's treasure, a rich and meaningful life.
