The Tale of Snow White and the Widow Queen Unsigned
$39.99
Snow White and the Widow Queen is an invitation to dive back into a lived experience that is expressed in all of our folk and fairy tales. The Brothers Jacob and Wilhem Grimm did not write down anything "new" when they collected and published their stories in 1812. It was not an analysis or a new spin on some old yarn. Rather, their publications preserved a tradition that related a lived experience through symbols. This book is a return to a storytelling style — reviving an iconic narrative approach as a way to share that lived experience that our ancestors were sharing in their homes, with their families, and in their communities long before modern times. This book also enhances that renewed story experience with striking illustrations that are invented alongside the narrative in a way that invites us — even implicates us — in the symbolic landscape through details that have always been there — like breadcrumbs — all along. Pageau and Pollington's retelling honors the simple narrative styles of old, inviting us to remember and rediscover childhood enchantment, and to reawaken our deep heritage of myth and story -- a heritage that still has deep secrets to reveal after all these centuries. Book 1 of 8 in the Tales for Once & Ever series Format: Hardcover, 53 pages with 20 full color illustrations | Ages: 8+ ISBN: 979-8-9890831-0-7

Ritualized Behavior From Animals to Church
There is a tendency to isolate religious behavior from other human behavior, which can make religious behavior seem arbitrary or ridiculous. In this week's video, I argue that the best way to understand religion, even from a purely materialist perspective, is to understand it as an extension of other types of ritualized behavior, even those we can find among animals. šŸ’» Website and blog: http://www.thesymbolicworld.com šŸ”— Linktree: https://linktr.ee/jonathanpageau šŸ—£ Join The Symbolic World Community for discussions about symbolism: https://thesymbolicworld.com/subscribe šŸ”’ BECOME A PATRON Website: https://thesymbolicworld.com/subscribe Patreon:   / pageauvideos   šŸ“± SOCIAL MEDIA Facebook:   / thesymbolicworld   Twitter:   / pageaujonathan   Instagram:   / jonathan.pageau   Our website designers: https://www.resonancehq.io/ My intro was arranged and recorded by Matthew Wilkinson.
