We have discussed previously the manner in which the Devil operates as a gateway into the unconscious, and not only that, but functions in the role of ‘accuser’ it is not the Devil himself in this universe who makes things ugly-indeed, nothing at all is being truly affected by the Devil’s doings-but rather the mirror, the perspective he provides. The demons take great joy in whisking the mirror all across the world and even greater joy at the idea of lifting it high to God and the angels-but this proves too much for the mirror, which vibrates at such intensity it shatters, and scatters its pieces all across the world. The first, “Which Has To Do With A Mirror And Its Fragments”, acts as our fall event: here, a ‘terribly bad hobgoblin, a goblin of the very wickedest sort, and, in fact…the devil himself’ crafts a mirror which causes everything good and beautiful reflected in its surface to appear to dwindle to nothing, while everything worthless and ugly dominates attention. Unlike most fairy tales, “The Snow Queen” is long enough to be divided into ‘chapters’, of a sort. The fairy tale could be, and should be, compared to his original version of “The Little Mermaid”, written eight years prior, which is similarly the story of an anima’s pursuit of the ego, but in that variation she is not able to be made conscious, is drained of meaning and must eventually submit to turning into sea-foam-that is, she cannot accomplish what must be accomplished in the individuation process, and so is consumed in the sea of the unconscious, from which she will eventually be renewed: derived in 1844 as none other that little Gerda, one of the most famous fairy tale heroines ever written, whether by society or by one quietly talented literary alchemist. As we progress through the tale, we will see imagery which is on no uncertain terms alchemical so much so that I am surprised Andersen is not more roundly known as an alchemist. His work provides a library of examples of profound literary alchemy, and of these, none is more powerful than the enigmatic, awe-inspiring tale of “The Snow Queen”. The personal struggle of the individual man is, in and of itself, a universal struggle and no author knew that more acutely than Andersen, whose sublime interactions with the anima have been distributed, retold, adapted and shared more times and in more ways than one could hope to catalogue. To claim that this is a disadvantage, however, is quite wrong. What makes a fairy tale powerful is its motifs and themes, which extend to universal lengths as a result of years of dilution the idea is that one man alone is not capable of such a thing, and that any writer inherently taints his story with his own personal struggles. Folklorists and fairy tale snobs take great pleasure in dismissing the works of authors such as Hans Christian Andersen, explaining that a proper fairy tale is derived culturally and passed down person-to-person, rather than initiating from the pen of one particular author. #BODY PAINTED XMAS SNOW QUEEN NUDE MOVIE#Wholesale price available!
