Historically kept and transmitted by women, fairy tales are distinguishable from other types of folk tales for their magickal and supernatural elements, and because of this, they were often dismissed as trivial domestic fantasies for women and children. Dulsky illuminates how this chauvinism kept these stories safe from the witch-hunter?s noose and allowed women to safely store and transmit their ancient and sacred wisdom.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Each story is a treasure box of coded knowledge and magickal practice meant for new generations to uncover, open, and explore. The nine chapters of \u003cem\u003eThe Night House\u003c\/em\u003e are then thirteen keys opening thirteen chambers of this box of shadows. Mythic images common to wonder stories emerge, Jungian universal archetypes arise, and ?old ways? are made visible, revealing the call to continue the medicinal work of story keeping for the modern world. The underground forest, the rose behind the glass, the red cloak, the candy house . . . Dulsky shows how these mythic images can illuminate the ?glamour spells? visible in \u003cem\u003eLittle Red Riding Hood\u003c\/em\u003e or the ancestral protection rites evident in \u003cem\u003eCinderella\u003c\/em\u003e, the story of the girl who rose from the ashes.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Dulsky?s fresh and relevant commentary is perfect for helping readers today reconnect with the Earth, ancestors, and their own spirit. \u003cem\u003eThe Night House \u003c\/em\u003eshows how a single fairy tale is actually a grimoire in itself, a spell book of mysteries that has remained largely intact, preserved under the floorboards of the Yaga?s hut for the reader to find.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"New World Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50578251612503,"sku":"9781608689798","price":15.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781608689798.jpg?v=1746098480","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-night-house-9781608689798","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
