Shadow and Evil in Fairy Tales by Marie Louise Von Franz ; book review

This is a long review, I cut it shorter than I wanted though. There is so much that is rich and fascinating in this book. And so much relevant to any kind of fiction writing at all (in my opinion) though it is designed for Jungian psychology and analysis primarily.

Great intro into Von Franz's book, I have all her books, yet to read some, others have to brush up with. She was Jung's most enlightened coworker. Ck out all the VF videos here on YT. Plaese read Barbara Hanna's bio on JUng, where Jung tells Barbara **I am glad I am Jung and NOT a Jungian**, Jung's ideas have fallen into bad times, with the Jungians twisting his core ideas into all sorts of strange methodology. You are young, bright and will and can see you are a Jungian analyst in the making. Fairy tales come true everytime. Take my life for example.
I had good looks all my life, but early on, ages 14-20 I thought of myself as very ugly, with thick glasses, damaged hair from bad shamoppos/blow dryer,, I had naturally blond but slugfhtly curly hair along the sides, I just did all the wrong things with my hair,, but mainly my neurosis expoded at age 16ish.
= My anima was under a evil spirit, both parents were very negative and antispiritual, father was gard core atheist/hedonist.
Long story short, I was both like Cindrella and the frog that became a hamdsome prince.
Cindrella as she was under evil influences and has to wait for her heroic prince. My anima = Cindrella Me as the ugly frog,,,and now some 40+ yrs later I have broken out my severe destructive neurosis, and now am being transformed into a prince. Prince = manly/high spirit qualities.
Thus fairy takes are born mostly around people of great significance, but take longggggg yrs to fulfill their myth.
= FT always manifest to various degress in everyone's life, FT always resurface , which can be seen most clearly w a individual who has a callinmg on his/her life.
Please continue a series of videos revewing alkl VG 's books and commentaries on your FT readings via a Jungian perspective.
My myth now is as warrior battling the great beast called The Antichrist spirit. As you know antichrist is emeshed, intertwined, involved in every single aspect of this world epoch. Illuminati, Wall Street, World power org's, any/all religions, all are part of this antichrist spirit. and he means business. AI is here and NOW, ,,, I am a warrior for God;s Kingdom. Thus I guess my new myth is that of Jason battling for the Golden Fleece, or David taking on Goliath, , = odds stacked immensely against me, thus totally dependent on divine powers. I stand alone, even critiquing as I read Jung and VG's works. I do not like to go around The Jungians, as they are nothing more than a New ISM, as Jung predicted would take place late in his life.
Take care
