From Homer to Harry Potter - the wisdom of classic literature awaits you.

If you’re looking for reliable, time-tested guidance on your journey through life then this is the book for you. Using the wisdom of over three thousand years of literature and myth, Dr Allan Hunter explores the stories we need to know and understand, and shows how they have offered us real advice and guidance for generations.

You’ll find practical advice that will help you identify which of the six archetypes you are presently living, as well as what challenges you may need to face if you are to grow spiritually to fulfill all you are capable of being.

For the first time we have a coherent way of understanding these archetypes and the way they appear in our world and our lives. Until now this way of looking at ourselves and others has been hopelessly confused. Now it is made clear –and we see that the information we have been seeking has always been present in the stories our culture has been treasuring since storytelling began.

Whether you are a student of literature or a student of life, walking a spiritual path or not, the information you’ll find inside this book is an eye-opening experience.

I'm the author of eight books. The most recent is "Write Your Memoir: The Soul Work of Telling Your Story". It's based on nearly thirty years of working with writers, finding out ways they can access the true and vital stories they have lived. For it is only when we are able to tell these stories that we can liberate the deep wisdom that lies within us, waiting to be heard. There's no other book like this available, because no other book asks you, as a writer, to enlist your strongest ally - your Unconscious - in the process of writing.

You may also be interested in my previous books, such as "The Six Archetypes of Love". The book traces the six major archetypes that have been in the canon of Western Literature for over 3000 years, and asks us to consider which archetype we might presently be living - and what that means for how we may be when we're in love. Are you the Innocent in love - too trusting? Or perhaps you're the Orphan, who will accept whatever comes along for fear of being alone? Or have you become a Pilgrim to find your way to being a Warrior-Lover? If so, how can you become a Monarch, one who fully understands what love involves? And what, finally, does it take to become a Magician? These may seem like odd questions, but if you want more, real, love in your life they may just be the ones to ask..... Read the book and find out much more.

I'd also recommend "Stories We Need to Know: Reading Your Life Path in Literature" (Findhorn Press, 2008). If you're interested in personal or spiritual growth and the six archetypes that can show us the way forward, and have done for centuries, you may want to take a look.
