Jungian Ever After | Rapunzel
Podcast: Play in new window | Download (42.4MB)
We begin our Grimm journey with the story of Rapunzel! A tale of irresponsible parents, a tower of isolation with no stairs or door, and the persecutor/protector that exists in all of us.
The story reading takes place from 9:22 to 18:18
We’ll be reading from Household Tales by Brothers Grimm
Adina also recommends:
The Inner World of Trauma by Donald Kalshed
The Complete Grimm’s Fairy Tales (Pantheon Fairy Tale And Folklore Library). If attempting to purchase this, be sure it says, “with Padraic Colum (intro) and Joseph Campbell (commentary) and James Scharl (illustr)”. Amazon considers all versions to be the same book, so you could accidentally buy a copy without those key elements.
Our intro/outro music is from Antoni Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons, performed by John Harrison with the Wichita State University Chamber Players. You can find the original at freemusicarchive.org

Hey There,
What a wonderful podcast! Thank you!
I’ll really enjoyed the analysis.
In the last few minutes of the podcasst it is told that the fairy tales are actually for all ages. I wanted to add a side-note here. Before the kestening these fairy tales were meant for adults, fairy tales in which animals played the leading role were only for children. Later this started to mix and they were increasingly relegated to the children’s realm.
Thanks again for making this podcast!
