THE PSYCHOLOGY OF FAIRY TALES

I run small online groups exploring the archetypal and personal meaning of fairy tales through Jungian psychology.

Fairy tales enchant us—drawing us into the timeless realm of “once upon a time,” where anything is possible. Interpreting them respectfully can reveal profound insights and connect us with the wisdom and healing potential of the archetypal world.

Our next tale is The Goose Girl from the Brothers Grimm: a rich, layered story with rare motifs. A servant usurps a princess, who becomes the goose girl—reflecting the development of eros, the feminine principle in us all. Across three sessions, we will explore the emergence of the feminine and look at the feminine shadow. As with many tales, challenges and turning points open the way to renewal.
