As you know, we are currently crowdfunding a beautiful storybook written by myself and illustrated

by Heather Poulton called Snow White and the Widow Queen.

It really is a desire to recapture storytelling to dive back into the old stories.

And I thought that as we're thinking about fairy tales, it might be a good idea to put out

some old patron-only videos that I've done over the years,

which interpret fairy tales. It'll give you a good idea of what those videos look like,

what it means to subscribe to the symbolic world, but it'll also be a good time to celebrate

these fairy tales. We'll start with Sleeping Beauty and look at why she pricks herself on a spindle,

but then we will move on to Snow White,

Jack and the Beanstalk, and maybe a few more.

So if you haven't yet, please back Snow White and the Widow Queen.

And in the meantime, enjoy.

Welcome to the symbolic world.

So as many of you know, I am working on some fairy tales, working in part now, right now I'm working on a version of Sleeping Beauty.

And I've been thinking a lot about Sleeping Beauty, I guess, for years.

And there's one thing that really kind of bothered me, I guess, it was the question of the spindle.

Like, why does she prick her finger on a spindle?

And so I looked into it and I tried to figure out why that would be.

So I thought that maybe bringing you through my process of figuring out what I think, at least this spindle seems to manifest,

could be helpful.

And I mean, helpful if you're interested in the question of Sleeping Beauty, but also helpful
