In today's episode, I answer a question posed about episode 154: Dismemberment and Remembering of the Masculine.In that episode, I read the Grimm's fairy tale The Handless Maiden, also known as The Woman Without Hands.Someone asked the question, "what exactly do we do in the 7 years of being in the forest while growing back our hands?"In this episode I use the text The Feminine in Fairytales by Marie- Louise von Franz to aid in my answering of that question. I discuss the implications of psychological introversion, confrontation with genuine loneliness, and stepping away from the projected roles that have been placed upon us by culture.In the forest, one is reclaiming a sense of spontaneity and trust in the self-regulating process of the psyche and 're-membering' themselves in the process; especially concerning the new potentials of the creative masculine energy within.Again, here is a text version of the fairy tale: https://sites.pitt.edu/~dash/grimm031.htmlHere is a lecture on the fairytale by Jungian scholar Dr. Raina Manuel-Paris: https://youtu.be/7VKEiNXRuGwTo find more information about the upcoming Book Club on The Soul's Code, head here: https://www.drdaniellemcginnis.com/souls-code-book-clubTo find more information on my upcoming Mother Archetype Workshop Series, head here:https://www.drdaniellemcginnis.com/mother-archetype-workshop-seriesEnjoy 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
