In reply to Jung and fairy tales...interesting exercise, posted by gardenergirl on June 1, 2005, at 22:38:25
GG - You know I LOVE that tape. The fairy tale that immediately came to mind when I first listened to it is Hansel and Gretel. We had an album with it when I was really little. When I look back on the tale now - it's amazing how perfect that choice was. It seems to have been quite prophetic!
My evil step-mother is quite like the one in the story - wanting to just get rid of the kids. My father is a spineless boy who does whatever the step-thing requests. And sadly the wicked witch in my child-mind is my mom. Her suicide was an attempt to kill us. She surely killed my spirit.
However, unlike the kids whose father comes to save them...mine didn't do sh*t. The one who has been saving me is my T.
