Well I started with Rapunzel, I’m just following my instincts as for some reason and I can’t actually remember why, but few weeks ago I just got consumed with wanting to dive into that story. But I think my next one might be either Cinderella or sleeping beauty but perhaps more sleeping beauty as I recorded a dream on 11 June about a friend and it felt in the dream like a ritualistic sleeping beauty. Then I’m also tracing some of the less popular ones like Swedish/ Norwegian tales and Slavic folktales

Have you read through any of Marie Louise von Franz's work on fairytales? She sometimes references alchemical themes as she analyzes the stories, I have found that to be quite rich as a means to understand the deeper archetypal meaning in the stories.

No I haven’t read that book but it came up in my research numerous times, and now Amazon suggests it to me in emails haha, so I will eventually get it
