The World Weaver & The Soul Diver
Genderless Journey Models for a Modern World
Why are New Journey models necessary?
Questions I've typically come across during my time learning and teaching the Hero's and Heroine's Journeys:
"Do you believe the Hero's and Heroine's Journeys are misunderstood?"
Answer: Vastly so. They became so tangled up with gender that most people have missed the greater message behind each Journey.
"Is the Hero's Journey misogynistic?"
Answer: No
"Can women take the Hero's Journey?"
Answer: Yes, in modern societies it's actually become necessary for women to take the Hero's Journey.
"Can men take the Heroine's Journey?"
Answer: Yes
"Do men balk at being called Heroines and Princesses?"
Answer: Yes, men often become like little boys when Feminine pronouns/nouns are placed upon them.
*Note for men* Men, we have nothing to prove to the world and the world owes us nothing. We should be secure in our Masculinity and Femininity and be good mentors for the generations coming after us. It's time for us to stop looking to the outer world for meaning. It's time to look and act from Within.
"Do Trans people need their own Journey?"
Answer: No.
"What about people of other genders?"
Answer: The Journeys should have never involved gender.
After years of studying and mapping the Hero's and Heroine's Journeys, I have decided that the simplest and best solution for every reason, concern, or question, is to remove Gender from the Journeys entirely. More on my reasons and process for doing so here: Why Create New Journey Models?
Thus, I hereby introduce the World Weaver's Journey and the Soul Diver's Journey. Genderless journey models for a modern world.
