It is seldom realized even by people in High Magick that Cinderella is a highly sanitized version of an Underworld initiation for a girl...
Who helps the submissive young lady dressing her up is her DEAD mother, Goddessmom or fairy... another classic Underworld allusion which is minimized in the fairy tale. Dressed up by the Goddess HerSelf, or a Divine Ancestress, the girl goes to the ball radiating her inner and outer beauty... for the first time believing what she really is inside out.
The riches of the Underworld, she then carries with her, and the prince cannot have eyes for any other...
To win Love and the Kingdom, she needs first to Know Herself.
Amazing, isnīt it?
have a brilliant day!
