The Secret Kindergarten Radio Show for Young Children Ep. 63
The Golden Bird is classified in the Aarne-Thompson index as a “Supernatural Helper” fairy tale. The supernatural helper is the fox. The fox is often a supernatural helper in fairy tales. In shamanic and indigenous cultures, animals are spirits, or are connected to spirits, that are here to teach and guide us. They are here to help us. This is a truth that can be discovered by spending time, in earnest, with young children. The fox symbolises trusting in intuition, intelligence and breaking out of social conditioning. This symbolism rises up in the Grimm’s fairy tale, The Golden Bird. When we read to young children, we are encouraging them to grow their imagination and create the images in their mind. When we read fairy tales, myths and fables of old, we present universal truths that young children turn into images and symbols in their mind that are harmonious with nature, universal and set them up for holistic intelligence and a connection to Truth later in life.
