A renowned psychologist examines fairy tales through a Jungian lens, revealing what they can teach us about the darkest parts of human behavior and thinking Fairy tales seem to be innocent stories, yet they contain profound lessons for those who would dive deep into their waters of meaning. In this book, Marie-Louise von Franz uncovers some of the important lessons concealed in tales from around the world, drawing on the wealth of her knowledge of folklore, her experience as a psychoanalyst and a collaborator with Jung, and her great personal wisdom. Among the many topics discussed in relation to the dark side of life and human psychology, both individual and collective, are: - How different aspects of the "shadow"--all the affects and attitudes that are unconscious to the ego personality--are personified in the giants and monsters, ghosts, and demons, evil kings, and wicked witches of fairy tales- How problems of the shadow manifest differently in men and women
- What fairy tales say about the kinds of behavior and attitudes that invite evil
- How Jung's technique of Active imagination can be used to overcome overwhelming negative emotions
- How ghost stories and superstitions reflect the psychology of grieving
- What fairy tales advise us about whether to struggle against evil or turn the other cheek Dr. von Franz concludes that every rule of behavior that we can learn from the unconscious through fairy tales and dreams is usually a paradox: sometimes there must be a physical struggle against evil and sometimes a contest of wits, sometimes a display of strength or magic and sometimes a retreat. Above all, she shows the importance of relying on the central, authentic core of our being--the innermost Self, which is beyond the struggle between the opposites of good and evil.

Jacket is extremely large
Size: Medium, Color: Classic Light Wash
Runs big, the arms look and feel like they are from a MALE PATTERN AND STICK OUT LIKE IM A MALE BODYBUILDER. Back is very large , too much fabric… the entire jacket. It looked ridiculous on a woman.

Nice jacket but missing inner pockets
Size: X-Large, Color: Classic Light Wash, Size: X-Large, Color: Classic Light Wash
This denim jacket has a good color and design that's makes this noticeable when you do wear it.
The shape is like any other denim that's out there and the size is true to fit.
There front pockets with decent depth however there's no inner pocket which is a bummer as that's always a nice feature to have.
It's not the softest material but it denim and will be durable.

This jean jacket is super cute comfortable and I get a lot of compliments😍🤩
Size: Large, Color: Medium Blue Vintage, Size: Large, Color: Medium Blue Vintage
I absolutely love this denim jacket—it’s become my new go-to layering piece for everything from casual errands to date nights! As a busy mom who needs clothes that can keep up with my day without sacrificing style, this one checks all the boxes. The medium-wash blue denim has that perfect lived-in feel right out of the box, with just the right amount of structure while still being soft and comfortable against the skin.
The fit is fantastic—it’s cropped just enough to flatter without feeling too short, hitting right at the waist so it pairs beautifully with high-waisted jeans, leggings, or even flowy dresses. I love the classic button-front design and the chest pockets that add a touch of authentic detail without being bulky. The sleeves are nicely tailored too, with enough room to roll them up for a more relaxed vibe or wear them down for polish. It’s surprisingly versatile for all seasons: throw it over a basic tank or tee in warmer weather, or layer it over a cozy sweater when the evenings get cooler.
What really stands out is the quality. The fabric feels sturdy and well-made, with reinforced stitching that makes me confident it’ll hold up through countless washes and wears. No fraying or fading after a few cycles so far, which is huge for something I reach for multiple times a week. It’s also got a nice subtle stretch that moves with you, making it ideal for long days chasing kids or sitting at a desk. I’ve styled it with everything from sneakers and mom jeans for school drop-off to boots and a cute top for church or a night out, and it always elevates the look without trying too hard.
If you’re looking for a timeless denim jacket that feels fresh and modern, this is the one! It’s flattering on real bodies (curves and all), easy to care for, and instantly makes any outfit feel more put-together. I’ve already recommended it to several friends, and I can’t imagine my closet without it now.

Great jacket for the price!
Size: XX-Large, Color: White
The denim jacket has a nice relaxed fit without feeling too baggy and it looks great doing it. There's just enough elastic for the jacket to stretch a little without losing its shape. The color's accurate and it's hard to beat the price so I've no notes!
