THE HERO’S JOURNEY: INITIATION 4. Atonement with the Father The person must confront
whatever holds the ultimate power Usually the father, or a father figure,
who has life and death power Center point of the journey Symbolized by an encounter with a
male entity or someone or thing with incredible power For the transformation to take
place, the person must be "killed" so that the new self can come into being Sometimes this killing is literal, &
the earthly journey for that character is either over or moves into a different realm
(Campbell from Warren, et al.)
