Habitrot and The Wood Maiden: Spinning Goddesses and Imagery in European Tradition (European Fairy Tales Series)

By Carolyn Emerick

This volume builds off of discussions in previous volumes, but digs deeper into the native spirituality indigenous to Europe. In this volume we look deeply into spinning goddesses, feminine divinity, and the symbolic meaning behind spinning and weaving in European spirituality in relation to life force, creation of life, and fate/destiny. This volume culminates with an analysis and retelling of two European fairy tales that involve supernatural beings associated with spinning.
