Snow White Symbolises Mid-Winter

A framework is emerging from Gino's work. A framework for individuals, families and communities. With a focus on hope and the future, we consider the children. We land on the power of the fairy tale. This episode unveils the potential correspondences between fairy tales and the seasons and equinoxes. With the similarities between the Snow White variations and Mid-Winter, could fairy tales be placed on the "Wheel of The Year"? Could the telling of the fairy tales be a device to create a sense of festivity and community, by bringing people together to re-tell old tales that resonate with the season? Could this create a mandala (not Mandela!) effect, that agitates the archetypes within, to help us become the individuals we were meant to be?
