In today's episode, I read the Grimm's fairy tale The Handless Maiden, also known as The Woman Without Hands. I discuss the implications of psychological dismemberment and the process of remembering, especially concerning the new potentials of the creative masculine energy within.This is a story about dismemberment as a result of the old masculine principle making deals with the devil. Yet that comes at a great cost; a father must chop the hands off of his daughter. This dismemberment catalyzes her painful, but beautiful journey of transformation. In this episode, I discuss how my fiancé was able to provide me with "silver hands" during a period of deep dismemberment in my life. I also discuss the process of pulling back those projections and learning to regrow a genuine connection to the inner masculine so that our own hands may grow back.Here is a text version of the fairy tale: https://sites.pitt.edu/~dash/grimm031.htmlAs promised, here is a lecture on the fairytale by Jungian scholar Dr. Raina Manuel-Paris: https://youtu.be/7VKEiNXRuGwEnjoy the show!Be sure to rate, review, and share the show with those who you feel would enjoy the show!Thanks for listening!To join my free community, head to https://dr-danielle-mcginnis.mn.co/share/To follow me on social media, head to @drdaniellemcginnisTo find my website, head to www.drdaniellemcginnis.com
