Robin Hood - Victory Through Defiance

The Hero, Robin Hood, is a nature man who is at home in the wild forests of Sherwood. He defies the ego-centric, power-hungry sheriff of Nottingham, who remains ensconced in his fortified urban castle. In the end, the Hero teaches us to be victorious by defying Ego's claims on personal freedom and individual choice. Robin Hood refuses walls and the loss of independence. His final victory is assured with the return of King Richard, and his marriage to Marian reunites nature and civilization into one spiritual landscape.

"Providing readers with a view of the story of Robin Hood through a mystical and mythical lens, Jim WIllis takes his readers on a journey that encourages them to see the inhabitants of Sherwood Forest in a unique and new way."
-Paul J. Leslie, author of "The Year of Living Magically"

"In a world oft-bereft of meaning, Willis nocks a sure arrow to stir the hero within."
- Ken Goudsward, author of Magic In The Bible and UFOs In The Bible
