The Meaning of Fairy Tales

There is an old Nordic fairy tale tradition, that captures the mystique of the deep forests, the many lakes, the wilderness and the contemplative, lonely nature of the sparsely populated north.

Here, banding together and understanding nature were necessary for surviving the long winters. When the sun hides, sustainance is derived from the inner and imaginative realms.

From this, stories evolved that told not only of surviving winter but also of navigating life in all its intrigueing forms.
