Since some of the group is slowing down with the start of summer-like activities, I've decided to kick off step 19. In the book, this step is mostly concerned about the Adept Level and the instructions for the Apprentice Level is quite short. That said, we do have to engage in some effort for this step.
This step is about Myth & Archetypes. Mary Greer notes that we apply our own personal mythology to the cards we use. Our "mythology" seems to be built upon what we have read and retained, how we understand what we have read, how our experiences have shaped and refined those myths, and how we have envisioned what the myths should be in terms of our dreams, hopes, and fantasy activities. Mary gives some brief examples in the first paragraphs of the book.
I would recommend reading the whole chapter, picking out the sections that interest you. This should provide some background for you task which is:
Find a myth, story, fairy tale, movie or song that in some way fits with your card and what you have previously said about it.
** At what point in your myth-story-tale-movie-song (mstms) does your card enter in?
** What happens in the mstms before and after your card's placement?
** What might these before and after portions of the mstms suggest about motivations and choices?
** How might you re-write the end of the mstms to allow other options?
I think this might require a bit of thought before we start posting. However, I would suggest that if you think of two-or-more mstms than you might want to do this exercise more than once. Dave
