Parenting In Relationships
I too am very drawn to the medieval period, its one of my favorites, and my own draw is to the female mystics and contemplatives of that time, there was a huge flowering of this during that period that I think is very moving and dear.
With Mulan, my thoughts were that she held your sort of ideals and aspirations, as I think our fairy tale draws can reveal that. But I think what we are drawn to even if not manifested in us must still have some overlap with at least a seed within us helping us really connect to it. For example, even if you are more introverted and unathletic and such, I still feel kind of a battle spirit within you, even the fact that you say you love disagreeing (and tend to focus on doing so, in other threads too) shows kind of a battle/challenge energy longing I think. So I can’t help but see that having an overlap with Mulan from where I am looking, though only you yourself know.
With me, Snow White is more what I aspire to be too, not what I have manifested in my character. She reminds me so much of that really peaceful and sacred feeling sweeper I met in that dream I mentioned before. But it’s the same thing I feel where there is still that seed of overlap. Because to say a bit more on my view on fairy tales is that the ones we are personally drawn to I think hold both a key wound we share with it and offer a real healing of that. We are probably already living part of the tale, or rather part of the archetype, and drawn to the tale to bring the healing and evolution of that in. Many tales center on the trauma of some sort of inner wound or outer abuse, and show a way to heal this. Alternatively it can show the pain over not having been your best at something you sense you can be and how to heal that.
