The Hero's Journey (S1E15)

Today on the Placebo Magick Podcast we give a bird's eye view of the archetypal Hero's Journey (as described by Joseph Campbell) and its usefulness in spiritual practice. The Spell of the Week is a simple divination method based on the Hero's Journey.

Referenced in this episode:

• The Hero's Journey
• The Hero with a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell
• Dan Harmon's Story Circle

d8 die table for divination using Dan Harmon's Story Circle:

1. A character is in a zone of comfort,
2. But they want something.
3. They enter an unfamiliar situation,
4. Adapt to it,
5. Get what they wanted,
6. Pay a heavy price for it,
7. Then return to their familiar situation,
8. Having changed.

The Placebo Magick Podcast explores theatrical spiritual practice for atheists. Remember: Magick is a metaphor, and metaphor is magickal!
