It looks at Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Hansel & Grethel, Jack & the Beanstalk etc. . .Folklore, like Heraldry, didn’t just get there.
The genius of the Anglo-Saxon folklore lies in the choice of symbols, which in some cases coincides with bible stories and prophecies.People that believe these people are the lost, scattered tribes of Israel will not be surprised at this.
Like other cultures the people used stories to entertain and educate their children and adults about their identity . . . they are not nobodies going nowhere, there is a God and he has a plan . .Many assume that the Grimm Brothers were the authors of Fairy Stories but they only wrote down for posterirtt the old folk tales of the people they sat with around the open hearth.
Of course Hans Christian Anderson wrote down folklore, recorded the stories, did you not see the film nibbs? of course stories are embelished and added to, be it with a magical touch, or with a touch of evil or adventure, to be honest having read your thread, whilst very deep and interesting to those who want to look beyond mystical dragons and other creatures I apologise tis not for me….. i do have to admit to wondering at first if this train of thought started at one of those late night sessions at the end of a very alcohol fuelled evenings we all have…….. sure as hell sounds a bit like a conversation I would start lol, given the right ‘stragglers’ at the end of the night.
littel too detailed for me, and contrary to toybulldogs comment , i am not one that is worried about the biblical references, just about the lack of need to look deeper than the mystical mythological magical world of these tales xxx

I would liked to have seen a few responses to this, but suspect that the biblical references probably made people uncomfortable and put them off.
The basic premise is quite sound. We were all indoctrinated in these stories at an early age and they shaped our way of thinking, whether we like that fact or not. Classic fairy tales are of course absolutely steeped in mythology. Before they were recorded for posterity by the Brothers Grimm they had existed in all European cultures, and had cascaded down from our ancestors; as stories told in the evening by the fireside, for awe-struck children to then dream upon.
You are reading this in a language that belongs to the same Indo-European family as that which the Old Testament was written in, and so it doesn’t take a great leap of faith to make a connection there. But then of course biblical mythology is drawn from somewhere else. All evaporates in the mist of time eventually; but still, very interesting…………
mythology, dreamers, story tellers – something we are all capable of, the stories mentioned, the fairy stories, the wonderful worlds you can take your children too, enhancing and building there imaginations, my kids used to love the mystical worlds of hans christian anderson and the brothers grimm , just as they loved the characters who magically appeared at story time from me too………its about firing up their imaginations, taking them to worlds of pixies and hobgoblins, taking them to lands where they can be princesses , rule the world, where chocolate flowers exist, where sugar coated mountains melt at their feet, where the good always beats the evil, where witches are melted, where a pair of ruby red slippers can take you home and unltimately dont we meet the good and the evil in adult life, dont we rejoice when sugar coated mountains melt at our feet, dont we feel sad when a baby cries, dont we all wish our mythological fairy tale childhood minds would return sometimes, carry us up on a pink fluffy cloud to lands we could only dream of………
