Like Adam and Eve whom God warned not to eat of the tree of knowledge in the Garden of Eden, the protagonists of our stories often encounter box they are to leave closed, lovers whose lips theirs are not to touch, forests in which they are encouraged not to wander alone, galas and balls that on attending they must exit by the stroke of midnight, and alas sea witches with whom they should strike no bargains.

And yet our central characters push the envelope open creating a second upheaval. But this chaos caused by the hand of the protagonist delivers direct transformation that reveals whom she or he is. Read the rest of this entry…
