Well, you're probably not going to be a huge fan of Greg's vision of 'mystic' fire igniting and energising the spirit, filling it with bright visions of deep truth and transcendent magic, capable of generating, changing, and saving the cosmos. Of heroes rising above and outside the petty boundaries of base materialism to achieve one-ness with the great nature of the god.

Heroquesting is MUCH more than simple ritual !! *
