We also used the sources that help us to trace the echoes of Graalevskoy tradition in psychology, philosophy and other fields. The object of our study were the ancient legends, medieval tradition and modern culture and literature, including the Russian fantasy. First, we traced history of the legend, its revival in the Middle Ages, it merged with the Christian tradition and the subsequent changes. We have presented an overview of the most famous and recognized by the medieval romances about King Arthur. Next, we find those motifs which for centuries remained unchanged. Based on these constant reasons we have reproduced a mandatory path to the Grail castle, which, regardless of the product and the culture to which it applies, the hero certainly is.

Dedicated to the work path is divided into six steps: call the Holy Grail, the victim, moving into a different world, look look, unwavering faith, and finally, the hero's battle with himself, and finding the Holy Grail. Finding the Grail, the hero reborn. In an era of chivalry, the path becomes a path to empowerment. The exercise of heresies and sects - through to the higher, divine knowledge and understanding of the world. In the occult teachings - a way to own high magic.

For pagans, according to a study Propp - an illustration of the transformation rite of passage the boy into a man. Path remains unchanged, meaning invested in a passable hero level in all cultures are pretty close. But, just as in those cultures, the mystery of rebirth Grail has come down to the end of the road has never said so in the work, we attempted to find their own sense of rebirth. Perhaps it symbolizes the eternal rebirth of all things, burning phoenix and his resurrection from the ashes. This motive explains many mysteries, but it is too simple and could hardly provide a centuries-old legend in popularity. Perhaps the hero is reborn as a new social status, the boy becomes a man, a warrior becomes a leader. But a more plausible option can be called out from the eternal circle of rebirth and transformation of the hero into a god. After all, even the ancient Celts, attended this very motif of rebirth. Finding the Grail in Celtic tradition, the hero gets a harp, a book or a sword, things can only own gods. So, the hero becomes a god is: on the etymology of the Celts - the great magician, a warrior or king. That is, the passing step way, the hero reaches a higher level of self-improvement.
