Two of the archetypes that most frequently appear in the hero's journey are a) the supernatural aid and b) the shape shifter.
The Supernatural Aid:
The supernatural aid has many functions. He is often, but not always, a decrepit old man that does not appear to be powerful. In Million Dollar Baby (Academy Award Winner Best Film 2004), it is Morgan Freeman as Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris. In Gladiator (Academy Award Winner Best Film 2000) it is Proximo - the Old Gladiator who fought in Rome until Marcus Aurelius set him free - and of course it is Ben Kenobi in Star Wars and Yoda in Empire Strikes Back. In The Big Lebowski (1998) it is Sam Elliot as The Stranger.
But the aim of the Supernatural Aid is to guide and in Raging Bull (1980), it is not an aged old man but a voluptuous and alluring young female in the shape of Vickie. Vickie’s purpose is to tempt the hero (Jake La Motta) into the adventure. Jake does not resist - unlike a hero, the anti-hero easily succumbs to temptations as opposed to avoiding them.
It is not unusual to have multiple mentors (supernatural aids), one for the push from the Ordinary World to the First Threshold and another to help through the Transition (Road of Trials). In Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), Indy has Marcus and Sallah. In Dances with Wolves (1990), John Dunbar is sent to the frontier by the General and then led through the transformation by Kicking Bird. In Gladiator (2000), Maximus’ journey is triggered by Marcus Aurelius whilst Proximo provides the gladiator training. [Often the first Mentor doubles as the Herald].
The Shape Shifter:
The Shape Shifter – the character that switches sides - also has quite a few functions. Unlike the Supernatural Aid, the Shape Shifter has no common form: Joey in Raging Bull (1980), Belloq in Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), Mirage in The Incredibles (2004).

Why is it that the majority of Americans find ourself at one time or another in the middle of a lawsuit. Most of these lawsuits don't involve multi million dollars but something much more important our lives. Usually these lawsuits come in the form of Family Law matters. Failed marriages usually bring you to the courts at least once in your lifetime, but usually more then that. And
