“We all recall the cruel stepmother in fairy tales. That archetype is often a necessary element in a fairy tale so that the heroine/hero can become a person of character and power. Stories of heroes and heroines often begin with a wound or loss or injustice and end with heroic acts of restoration.” PersonsEndsCharacterStoriesLossHeroElementsInjusticeWoundsTalesFairyHeroicFairy TaleRecallsRestorationHeroinesArchetypeStepmothersHeroes And HeroinesHeroic Acts Book:The Power of Coincidence: How Life Shows Us What We Need to Know Source: The Power of Coincidence: How Life Shows Us What We Need to Know
“Sometimes I forget what I put in. I want to capture things in that way, where you're looking into your memory, a dream or hallucination. The characters become a mixture of archetypes, [and] that's what I like. You're trying to figure it out and your brain wants to categorize things, but it can't because of this motion. You want to solve the problem, but it never gets solved. It's like when you read a really good book and the story never leaves you.” WayWantTryingBookSometimesCharacterStoriesProblemDreamMemoriesForgetBrainFiguresLike YouSolveCaptureMixturesGood BookOur MemoriesHallucinationsArchetypeI Like You Author:Ali Banisadr

That person used to weave stories at night around a small fire to keep the tribe from being terrified that sun had gone down.” ThinkingPersonsStoriesBodyUsedNightActorsActingHealingRolesSunGoneFireStorytellingPriestsTerrifiedTribesStorytellerHealerPriesthoodArchetypeWeaving Author:Ben Kingsley
