In Greek mythology Chione ('Snow') is so fair Hermes puts her to sleep to lie with her and that same night Apollo disguises himself as an old woman for the same purpose. As a result she gives birth to twins: one who grows up to be a notorious thief like Hermes while the other becomes a handsome musician like Apollo. Later Chione boasts that she is fairer than Artemis and is slain by the jealous goddess for her pride.

Looking into the origins of Eurpoean folktales and fairytales is so interesting! And the interconnectedness is immense, so it can be difficult to find one single origin myth or story. The splinter in the finger in the Scottish tale is also found in an early version of 'Sleeping Beauty' called 'Sun, Moon and Talia'. Talia gets part of some flax lodged under her nail, which puts her to sleep until it's removed. That one is really dark compared to the modern version, including Disney's version, as she gives birth during her sleep. Symbolically it's really interesting, though! Thank you for an interesting video! ❤

In reality, Snow White was a story about the movements of the heavens - the central topic of most ancient faiths. Snow White is the Snow White Moon, who is followed in a line along the ecliptic by the seven dwarf planets. Show White Moon was given a corset to make her thinner (the Waning Moon), until she appears to die (the New Moon), but then she is kissed by the Sun-prince (a Syzygy-Eclipse), so she wakes up and gets fatter (Waxing Moon), as if pregnant (Full Moon). Note that the Moon does indeed get thinner and then ‘die’ as it approaches the Sun during a solar eclipse. The Moon is dark and dead, as it slips in front of the Sun in a cosmic embrace - a cosmic kiss. R

Remember, the Grimm brothers themselves changed the stories to be more palatable to audiences of their day e.g. little red riding hood was eaten by the wolf and not saved, the being saved part was added by the Grimms. But of course Disney shouldn't change things to suit our audiences today. The Grimm fairytales have barely changed since they published them in 1812 because they were written down for the first time. Stories always change naturally over time.

The Gold Tree/Silver Tree version sounds more like Sleeping Beauty to me. A pricked finger, a death like sleep, etc. But I guess Snow White & Sleeping Beauty are so similar that they most likely share origins. I had always assumed the evil stepmother trope in Fairy Tales had to do with all the grief & family strife caused by primogeniture. Since women often died in childbirth, it wasn't unusual for men to marry more than once especially if they were wealthy.

As a French person, I was shocked by what the Disney studio made of the story of the hunchback of Notre-Dame. They could have created an unrelated story rather than abuse a French classic novel by Victor Hugo (Notre Dame de Paris is its original title) in such a ridiculous fashion. I have since boycotted anything from the Disney studio, but your comments about how they mistreat traditional tales resonate with me (what about the Little Mermaid of Hans C Andersen! Beauty and the Beast of Barbot de Villeneuve etc). They have a recipe for commercial success and plagiarise any well known and liked stories to fill their purse, unable to produce something original.

Thank you so much for this level of scholarship on this topic; I found it most enlightening and just what I had been hoping to find. A little contribution I might make, as an archaeologist, is to contrast the desire of early folklorists…you refer to this as seen in the Grimm Brothers…to somehow work their way back to some pure “un corrupted “ source that attached itself to the idea of some pure un corrupted “strain” of people with archaeology complicating that search considerably. Maritime trade between Britain and Ireland is attested by well excavated stratified finds,of Irish stone tools in Scotland with pretty Clearly Neolithic dates attached….so 3000 BC…? All fascinating. Thanks thanks so much.

Interesting to cover many different evolutions and corruptions of the story as it moved around in place and time but drawing the line at one specific one 🤔

I find the talking fish in that one version of the tale is neat

The version of snow white we read as dutch children stil had the blood in the snow and the part where she wants a daughter with skin as white as snow and it's so important to the story I don't know why they didn't think skin tone would matter. Even if you are determined to race swap her at least use an asian beauty, who have all those characteristrics.

Thanks for this interesting dive into the Snow White mythology. I was surprised tho, to see no mention of obvious parallels with Demeter-Persephone myth: in which also the Daughter disappears into the Underworld, then seasonally re-emerges, bringing back fruitfulness to the world. Except in that version, it's the man-suitor-would-be-husband who abducts & imprisons the Daughter; & her Mother who mourns her & won't rest until she's rescued / liberated.

When Julius Caesar was still a young man, Sulla became a dictator of Rome. He called Caesar before him, and was at first impressed by him. But he said one day this young man might grow to be a threat. When he felt that day had come, he ordered Pompei to hunt Caesar down and bring back his heart as a trophy to prove he had been killed. Pompei found Caesar, but in the moment felt he could not kill him after all, and instead brought Sulla the heart of a boar. Caesar fled across the sea to Bithynia, where he stayed in the king's palace, becoming his lover. He was later mocked with the accusation he was the bottom in that relationship, which is actually likely. So it is interesting that Germanic people would come to tell a story of a princess whose mother or stepmother felt she was a threat and tried to have her killed by having her organs removed and brought to her. And that she would then flee to another court or across the sea. The Celts and the Germanic tribes both had not only contact with Rome but with Caesar himself. They would not need to have heard this story to come up with the story of Snow White, since it does have elements of ancient acrhetypes, magic, and mythology. But it is still interesting to think about.

I prefer the old tales to the movies. When I was a small kid, my Mom would often read these tales from the Grimm Brothers book, especially when I had a flu. So being sick as a kid was not so bad though.

As you first mentioned the blood on the snow, I wondered if you would connect the Deirdre story.

a lot tales. Hell even phrases like a" cat with 9 lives" there is a tale of a witch that transforms into a cat 9 times Scottish or Irish mythology.

I think it comes from the same tradition as the necromantic stories when a woman is raised from the dead. Odin does this for eg.

Sneewitta was a real life person as were and still are the dwarves of the ore mountains south of the seven peak range.

So basically Snow White is the Germanic version of the Greek goddess of the seasons Persephone, daughter of Demeter and Zeus. When she eats a pomegranate, she finds she must marry Hades, and spend half the year in the Underworld with him, creating winter. When she returns to this world for the other half of the year, we have spring and summer.

In a more "realistic" approach the story could be set in the european bronze age. The queen gets a new mirror made of silver to see herself more clearly. Now she can compare herself to Snow White and gets upset. Snow White has to flee and eventually finds refuge at a community of short heightened miners, as the hard work reduces growth. I'm still wondering about the apple being the danger. But i guess in those times healthy food was rare and expensive and for the elites.

I always thought snow white was about the devouring mother archetype, but this seasonal explanation makes alot of sense too

Will there be more videos on the dark origins of fairy tales.

If anything it's most likely a mystery school myth especially if it ties into the underworld.. innana went through 7 gates to escape the underworld, Orpheus has the lyre with it's 7 strings, you'll find the numbers 12 and 7 in every mystery school myths as it will always refer to the 7 planets and the zodiac and more importantly what they represent in you

I read years ago that Snow White hearkens back to human sacrifice practiced by Germanic tribes to either bring the harvest or the spring.

Yes, well done. These are our myths and legends.

The connection you imply with Persephone and Demeter is fascinating. Demeter isn’t portrayed as jealous or murderous as such, but as psychologically unable to let go of her daughter and permit her to have her own being, which is not so different. You imply, I think, that this relates to the fullness of the harvest season being unwilling to yield its glory to the next generation/year. The seeds (/daughters) go into the ground (/underworld) in the autumn to eacape the domineering mother, lie dormant there in a mystical half-alive state for half a year, then emerge fresh and green in the Spring as the new year takes over from the old one. I hadn’t made this connection before, about the mother being the old year passing away unwillingly as her beauty fades. Definitely feels like a gut-level observation by ancestral story-tellers about the tension and violence inherent to reproduction, the love for offspring as intertwined in some ghastly way with the raging against one’s own death that new life necessitates, drawing parallels between the human experience of this and the same patterns seen elsewhere in nature, looking for ways to find peace and order among these conflicting elements. Thank you for your work. Always stimulating.

I enjoyed that very much, thank you. A thought I had on the hart, lungs and liver -> The youth and vitality of the organs, ofcourse can prolong life, but I think there might be a more esoteric meaning...where evolution meets devolution. Or hijacking a Merkaba... though elemental magic.. let me explain Lungs, representing the element of air, create possibilties/ pathways, your ability agility to master breath, in many traditions is a fundamental resource in creating reality, thus giving inspired thoughts and possibilities, through creating pathways in the brain....... Once the desired idea aligns, inspired action will follow, signaling the hart through the endocrine system to 'pump' and thus move the body towards that action. For the body to move, it needs food and water. The liver fights off anything that does not create a state of balans and thus, is made to guard and protect. Also, more on 'the surface', smoking and drinking cause decay in lungs and liver, which maybe the mother felt vicimized for. Het own body, unable to turn back time, is full of denial. Denail is one of the 6 core wounds of humanity/ devine feminine (see line 2 Venus sequence of the Gene Keys). The 62th Gene Key shadow expression is intellect (mind), the highest impeccability (mind, body spirit integration), adding in the line 2, we get the archetype of the dancer. In the highest expression, that would be a queen, governing devine law, so to speak. In the lowest expresion, she would be a dark witch that is out to manipulate denine order. The punishment of dancing makes sense, because, universal law will give you what you want.... she can dance to death in her denail, staying in her karmic, mindloop , thinking she can outsmart nature/god/ or the organic-cosmic balance of creation. Sorry for the spelling, thanks again!

I want to start off by saying that I love this topic & I think you did a great job drawing connections between the Brothers Grimm Snow White and older tales. However, I think that the origins of the story go back further than Germany. In ancient Greek myth, Chione has elements of Snow White's story and her name even means "snow." You mention the possibility of Snow White coming from a seasonal myth and I agree. Greek goddess Persephone is taken to the underworld and must stay there because she consumed the seed of a pomegranate like Snow White's apple. Like some versions of Snow White, there is a pomegranate in her story. She is also the goddess of spring and so has associations with nature. ATU type 709 stories like Snow White are not exclusive in any way to Germany, although there are many beautiful German versions. I also want to push back on the idea that Disney "paid honorable homage" to Germanic folklore. The story is more humorous, Snow White has 1930s hair, her clothing is not uniquely German or historically accurate, the queen doesn't die via red hot shoes, etc. He changed the story substantially, as he did with all his adaptions. As the Grimms Brothers did. All myths, folk and fairy tales change. The idea that Walt held, cherished and revered Germanic lore in its original state is a bit much. Disney was also an American who made an American movie and how that movie is changed for live action really has no impact on the invaluable cultural assets of Europe.

unfortunately kids who see Disney's distorted versions of tales and novels believe they are the true story, and very often prefer the glamour and superficiality of Disney's commercial product to the demanding read of the more original writings.

The whole cursed to sleep thing is also present in Sleeping Beauty and being locked up in a tower is present in Repunzel. This was definitely an interesting video and I will probably be seeing the new Snow White film which hopefully gives a name to the Prince because like Cinderella he has no name or really a character in the original animation. My daughter who is 4 is currently in a Disney Princess stage so I am exposed to a lot of this stuff right now.

Idk if I just have ADHD but I have to listen to this in 1.75 speed so I feel like I’m learning.

Could the dwarfs or dwarves be earlier actual hominins?

I'd bet on it. I say Dwarves are based on Neanderthals.

I like the old nursery rhymes best , it brings warm memories of childhood with no narcissistic under tones. With modern AI etc. Storytelling has gone to another level. Nevertheless its interesting to watch other perspectives. Good video. 😊

nice

I need to work on it some more, but the seven dwarves may symbolise the seven hours of light, the seven SHORT hours of winter ligt time when the nature goddess is asleep.

I remember seeing the original Disney movie as a child and thoroughly enjoying it. My kid brother even got a Prince Charming plastic sword and shield. He was 5 or 6 at the time. Being kids, we were totally oblivious of the Germanic roots and could not have cared less. For us it was just an enjoyable fairytale. Kudos to Disney for taking a dark and bloody fairytale and making it suitable for young children.

Dwarves merging with stone made me picture Dwarves becoming giant golems to defend their homes.

I understand this story to be about reincarnation/rebirth, like many of the European folk tales. Check out The book by Marie Cachet, "The Secret Of The She-Bear."
