FAIRY TALES AND ROSE CROSS

Often confined to the field of children's pedagogy, fairy tales and sagas represent an important contribution to the knowledge of the history of peoples also thanks to their medieval singers who Rudolf Steiner, in a conference on 10 June 1911, called "rhapsods".

When asked where they came from and where they had learned to hold their performances, he replied that they had been students of the Rosicrucians in their temples also considered as schools.

The text therefore underlines a little-known aspect of the Rosicrucians and at the same time sheds new light on popular fairy tales and sagas, analyzing the common elements in the tradition of various European countries and indicating the archetypes of imaginative thought.

The fantasy world, which has accompanied man from the Middle Ages to the present era, and in it the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm are the leitmotif of the book that leads us on a revisitation of this path.
