PS Your support is important to keep The Journey going, do you want to buy me a cup of coffee? 😉 That was my basic concept: I believe that “Krabat” should be measured by this. What I have tried to portray with “Krabat” is the story of a young man who – at first out of curiosity and later in the hope of being able to secure an easy and beautiful life for himself in this way – gets involved with evil forces and is entangled in them and how, by the strength of his will, with the support of a loyal friend and through the love of a girl who is prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice, he finally succeeds in breaking free of this entanglement again. The spell to break this curse is a mix from these 3 ingredients: Generally I ask, why kings started war and built grandiose tomb? Were they happy because of their possessions?

Many disasters happened out of this fear.

Is the true “freedom” really coming from this? Or we have become the slave to false promises? Usually, people with more power and wealth is trapped in fear. Work harder, climb the career ladder, you will rule, be rich, famous, powerful, therefore more “freedom”.
