Vila Wolf's Dyslexic Folklorist Ranting

inverse

After I tried psilocybin and started this extended trip that is now my existence for the time being, I often would have this vision/hallucination formed by the textures of grass, the ceiling, whatever was detailed enough of a woman between two snakes. Often at the time, and since then, although I am trying to let go more, I thought of reincarnation, rebirth, past-lives or whatever you’d like to call it. I believe I was always looking for signs, and possibly getting them at times without even having the awareness of these images/visions/hallucinations/imbuing experiences of personas even if they were just ‘mind’ as I tend to simplify it to. ANYWAY, Today I googled for this symbol I had seen so often, remember perchance or fatefully and was only able to find this. I thought it was interesting even if it might mean absolutely nothing.

Alchemical and Hermetic Art

The Brothers Grimm, Jacob Grimm (January 4, 1785 – September 20, 1863) and Wilhelm Grimm (February 24, 1786 – December 16, 1859), were German academics, linguists, cultural researchers, and authors who collected folklore and published several collections of it as Grimm’s Fairy Tales, which became very popular. Jacob was an academic in philology, researching how the sounds in words shift over time (Grimm’s law). Furthermore, he was a lawyer whose legal work, German Legal Antiquities (Deutsche Rechtsaltertümer) in 1828, made him a valuable source of about the origin and meaning of much legal historical idiomatic usage and symbolism. The brothers can be counted along with Karl Lachmann and Georg Friedrich Benecke as founding fathers of Germanic philology and German studies. Late in life they undertook the compilation of the first German dictionary.

The first collection of fairy tales Children’s and Household Tales (Kinder-und Hausmärchen) was published in 1812 with more than 200 fairy tales. Many of the stories had already been written by Charles Perrault in the late 1600s. They are among the best-known story tellers of European folktales, and their work popularized such stories as “Snow-White and Rose-Red” (Schneeweißchen und Rosenrot), “The Frog Prince” (Der Froschkönig), “Hansel and Gretel” (Hänsel und Gretel), “Rapunzel”, “Rumpelstiltskin” (Rumpelstilzchen), “The Town Musicians of Bremen” (Die Bremer Stadtmusikanten), and “Snow White” (Schneewittchen).
