Fairy tales are defined, according to Jens Tismar, as stories that differ "from an oral folk tale"; and are written by "a single identifiable author" - characterized as "simple and anonymous", existing in a mutable and difficult to define genre. These stories exist within our Akashic records, and surface in different articulations through various mediums. Whether the stories are permutations of myth into holiday, or folklore into film - each tale tells a life lesson that transcends childhood fantasy, and offers a reflection of the wonder of the human experience. While trolls, goblins, unicorns, and monsters may not exist in this reality - the energies represent archetypes which carry great meaning in recognizing the shadow as well as the light, darkness being a tool for transformation and transmutation, and the journey being the ultimate teacher - not just the destination. This compilation is a list of 6 modern day fairy tales that can be appreciated beyond childhood, films which offer dream-like landscapes/visuals, and stories which arouse the imagination - allowing us to appreciate our humanity through the allegories hidden within the fantasy. ***Disclaimer: No copyright is claimed in the material used for this video and to the extent that material may appear to be infringed, I assert that such alleged infringement is permissible under fair use principles in U.S. copyright laws.
