A new myth or archetypal story is being written today by women caught between the old misogynistic belief systems and the movements toward feminine liberation. Men and women were raised on the fairy tale myth of happily ever after. Prince marries princess, and they ride off into the sunset to live happily ever after, whatever that means. This book picks up where the fairy tale ends. The prince and princess raised in the old paradigm each bring specific expectations into the marriage that poorly equips them to confront unique challenges of a drastically morphing world. In this cauldron of change they live their lives, have their children, and deal with financial issues, temptation, loss, and grief. Combustible components form layer by layer like building a fire, until volatile life circumstances finally ignite flames of destruction as he fights to maintain the old ways and she feels the call to participate in the emerging new world. By asking forbidden questions and seeking forbidden information the woman forges a new path toward her destiny, the realization of a new mythology, and a spiritual transformation. The fairy tale ends and the real story begins as the tale is told of a very human journey during a paradigm revolution. This story is seen through the eyes of one woman s passage through the fire of transformation. Her experience on this new path is told through poignant and timeless poetry, story, and the companionship of her ageless guides, the Archetypes of the Major Arcana of Tarot. "
