“Fairy Tales are the purest and simplest expression of collective unconscious psychic processes.” - Marie Louise von Franz

In this presentation we will look at two Grimm’s fairytales, Iron Hans and The Girl Without Hands, to explore how they express critical elements of the struggles of the modern psyche. We will look in depth at the Wildman archetype and our lost connection to nature, as well as the unwitting betrayal of the feminine principle in life that is an ominous byproduct of so called modern civilization.

Learning objectives:

Describe the importance of fairy tales in understanding the modern psyche.
Describe the symbolism of characters and themes in the fairy tale Iron Hans.
Describe the symbolism of characters and themes in the fairy tale The Girl Without Hands.
