This original folklore inspired my design of a 7’ arm puppet lindworm. Thank you Martin Shaw. Very very nice.

Wow. That was beautiful . And so well known. Acknowledging the educated heart and the shedding of layers within another and oneself.

[@wulfmountainpath3719]

Jung would have gone nuts with this one. Wonder if it appears in his work? Like a dream filled with interacting archetypes which holds answers to everything. Bravo

[@reisswilliams286]

What is the music?!

[@blaklena]

It is funny because in out her versions she eats two onions, one with the skin and one without it. The onion with skin is obviously the serpent

[@Spade_FoxDerg]

In another version a KZbinr animated The different flowers represent different genders White was male, red was female. The queen picked white but it was so delicious she ate the red as well, The story continues the same with only a few difference near the end, after the clothes she throws the milk on the lindworm, she uses a wip on him, then hugs him, and he comes out a pale prince with white hair. Interesting how everyone knows a different version of the same story.

[@kuhatsuifujimoto9621]

ogres are like onions

[@antonioferrari5884]

The Lindworm: I'm a serpent mum and dad. I'm meant to be slain. King and Queen: Not to us.

[@ladylanfear9588]

Very nice! Thank you.

[@aljonserna5598]

It's fascinating since the Chinese dragon looks like a lindworm but it's not much of a snake but rather came from being a carp until it got bigger and stronger that it reached the heavens by swimming upstream. But damn, what a beautiful archetype the lindworm is, still though the archetypal details are hard to understand but it's scintillating.

[@rimsharafique5597]

Amazing

[@casapangea783]

it touches soul

[@XeraXeon]

[@reidsander4703]

[@cartooningfanart]

Thanks for making this :) Love this fari tale :)

[@linden_e]

Campbell may have made known the hero's journey but ah... here is the hidden mystery of the heroine's.

[@asunhug]

Amen , Awoman 🔥

[@B.A.512]

But after giving birth, how ugly as it seems, the snake was part of the woman, fed and nurtured by her body. Sad but beautiful story!

[@gaz8891]

Wow, great, I've never heard this before. Is "Lindworm" a Norse word ? Lime trees are also called Linden and this name seems to have the same origin. During the European Bronze Ages, the bark of Linden trees was used for making fibre for ropes and other cordage use. The original meaning of 'lind' was apparently 'flexible' (perhaps a flexible line or fibre, I think), and this is the origin of similar words like liana, lithe, lenient and linen. So a Lindworm would be a long, flexible worm. Another word for snake or serpent then.

[@ThePsychomancer]

Do someone know the origin of this version of the tale?

[@dvoraisdancing]

[@entschnabler]

Reminds me of the biblical story of Tobias and Sara in the book of tobit

[@lindanorris2455]
