293 - Pricked by a Spindle - Symbolism in Sleeping Beauty

This is the first of a series of videos I will release from my patron-only archive, analyzing symbolism in various fairy tales. We start with Sleeping Beauty and the meaning of being pricked by a spindle, how it might relate to a woman's cycle, sexuality, and broader patterns of change. I also give you a glimpse into how I tend to think about stories over a long time.Support our Snow White Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/symbolicworldpress/snow-white-and-the-widow-queenMusic by the one and only @dirtpoorrobins YouTube version: https://youtu.be/iobn7oJGicM
