Rowling's mind about the symbolism she may or may not have meant to put in the books, but to read the symbols as they appear, with some of the layers of meaning that they have traditionally held. Drawing from anthropology, theology, psychology and the history of the human experience of the Sacred, The Seeker's Guide to Harry Potter offers fans of any or no spiritual faith a deeper sense of magic and meaning in the novels and in their own lives |

Harry Potter's Mythical Magical Journey!
In this 53 minute class we will explore why we have all come to love Harry Potter. Could it be because he represents a Hero to us? Can we see our own journey within the pages of JK Rowling’s books? The Hero’s Journey was brought to life by Joseph Campbell in The Hero with a Thousand Faces and from that came Luke Skywalker of Star Wars fame. Join Cindy as she explores the Hero’s Journey and how Harry Potter is the next Hero to join those who have echoed our own Spiritual Journey of life.
We will also examine some of the Spiritual and Mystical elements found in Harry Potter, especially in it’s relationship to the elements and Alchemy! In the UK version, the first book was Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone! This in itself is a clue to the hidden spiritual lessons Harry Potter reveals to us when we know how to look! |
