The Posts that follow on this site, giving the Fairy Tale story, show the paths, the journeys of each character, in their individual and collective realisation of their purpose, development and ultimate transformation.

As the story unfolds and develops we see the characters change and often undertake ever increasingly mature roles in their personal development and of one harmonious community out of two disparate ones.

The journeys are many and varied, incredibly imaginative, and if we let ourselves be free to Imagine, can have very strong parallels in our modern every day lives and current societies.

In the next Post - the first scene is where a Ferryman is woken from his sleep in his hut by a wide River by travellers, two Will - o' - wisps, who demand to be taken across. It is midnight and the Rover is "swoln to overflowing" - a typical picture image and consequential imaginative writing by Goethe.
