Die Magie der verbotenen Märchen / The Magic of the Forbidden Fairy Tales

by Sergius Golowin

Description

What do folk tales teach us today?

Fairy godmothers, bitches, gnomes, dwarfs and many others are thoroughly described in this book. In his ethnic study Sergius Golowin explores the figures of the folk tales as symbols of our unconsciousness. Golowin decodes the symbolic language of fairy tales and enlightens the secret science of Celtic priests and the magic knowledge of Nordic warlocks. Golowin shows that mandrake, toadstool and monkshood were well known in past times. Those who knew their secrets had superhuman power and wisdom. The possibility to see new realities is shown as one of the oldest, but always banned knowledge.
