Do you remember the first
Fairy Tale you ever heard? Surprisingly enough, although there are
plenty of fables and folktales, very few of these traditional stories
actually involve a Fae. Some of the stories were about the magical
results of human adventures, some were warnings of danger and illustrative
tales of what could happen if the warnings weren't heeded. There are
many Truths to be learned from the tales ~ and so we present some
here.
A bit of warning, though... these aren't the Disney stories, cleaned
up and repopulated with sweet innocent creatures -- these are tales
collected by the likes of the brothers Grimm. There is a special flavor
in the writing style, in the lessons taught and the lessons learned.
Some of the creatures here are frightening, some are silly, and all
are in our collective memories. Some will be found told twice or more,
in different ways, underscoring different lessons there within.
Please do enjoy the stories found in the links below.
