What Would You Do With a Scary Owl?

"The Owl" is a Brothers Grimm fairy tale that drips with owl symbolism. A tragic story for the owl and yet another story victimised by cancel culture to prevent violence and cruelty in children. The story really symbolises the importance of "alone time" and contemplation. It sends a message that we should be patient and search deeply to make a difficult decision that will benefit everyone involved. It's about decision making in a fiery time! Can you pick up on these dynamics when you listen to the story? Did you know these symbolic meanings of the owl are the same in the American-Indian and shamanic cultures? Manly P. Hall said that if a culture did not have fairy tales, that culture would have integrated animal symbolism through other means, such as mask-wearing rituals.The Secret Kindergarten Radio Show for Young Children is live every Saturday 2.00pm-3.00pm Eastern Time on Revolution Radio (Studio A): https://www.revolution.radio/.https://thesecretkindergarten.com/BOOKSHall, Manly P.
