About the Card
The Hero's Journey begins with the Call to Adventure, an invitation to embark on a path of transformation and growth. However, before the Hero can fully embrace this call, they may experience a Refusal of the Call. This resistance can take many forms, including fear, doubt, or a sense of obligation to remain in their current situation. The Refusal of the Call is a natural response to the unknown and the challenges that lie ahead. It is a sign that the Hero is not yet ready to undertake the journey, but it also presents an opportunity for growth.
By facing their fears and doubts, the Hero can overcome them and become ready to embark on the journey. It is important to note that the Refusal of the Call is not a failure, but rather a necessary step in the Hero's Journey. Without this initial resistance, the journey would lack the depth and meaning that comes from facing and overcoming obstacles.
