We live in a time when many people of European descent are waking up to but feel cut off from their indigenous, folk ancestry that suffered waves of colonization from Rome to the Holy Roman Empire, famine, disease, war upon war before washing up on the shores of what would become known as North America.
There seems to be no way back to the forgotten wisdom those people held and so the only place to find it seems to be in the traditions and practices of other still intact (or more intact) indigenous peoples.
In this evening, we’ll be making the case that more memory survived than we’ve been led to believe - much of it in the form of common folk and fairy tales you likely heard as a child or watched as Disney movies.
Here’s the core idea of our time together: If you are willing to look at fairy tales as memory, not just metaphor, you’ll get further with them.
In this evening, we’ll be coming to a small portion of that cultural memory via the old Grimm’s tale Briar Rose - a version of the Sleeping Beauty story that exists in many versions around the world.
Our Ask:
Once you register, you’ll receive a copy of the story we’ll be working with and we’ll ask you to read over it three times. Consider printing it out and writing all over it with your thoughts and reflections.
