Eleusinian Mystery Initiation

Reading the Todd Swanson essay, "WOMB OF FIRE: A Study of the Eleusinian Mysteries",
I was struck by a flash of 'en-lightning': How similar his description of the crisis that some have claimed catalyses the healing in the Eleusinian Mystery initiation to what happens with James Neubauer, an adolescent character in the movie, A Rumor of Angels!

James's psychopomp (representing the goddess Demeter) is Maddy Bennett, played exquisitely by Vanessa Redgrave, an old widow thought mad by most of the local down-easters; that is, those who don't account her an evil witch. Great movie! It was spun off the book, Thy Son Liveth by Grace Dufffie Boylan (1919).

"Now, all these myths that you have heard and that resonate with
you, those are the elements from round about that you are building
into a form in your life. The thing worth considering is how they
relate to each other in your context, not how they relate to
something out there - how they were relevant on the North American
prairies or in the Asian jungles hundreds of years ago, but how they
are relevant NOW - unless by contemplating their former meaning you
can begin to amplify your own understanding of the role they play in
your life."
