The great popular myths of the gods are also representations of everything the initiates experience on the astral and higher planes. Fairy tales stand in relation to the great popular myths of the gods in the following manner: The myths can be understood when we realize the huge comprehensive circumstances of the cosmos underlying them, and fairy tales can be understood when we realize that the different happenings and pictures are nothing but the repetition of astral events. In far remote times everyone had astral experiences. They became fewer and fewer. One person told them to another, the other took them up, and so the fairy tales were carried from place to place. They appeared in the most varied languages, and we can note the similarity of the fairy tale treasures the whole world over, when we unveil the astral events that serve as their basis.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"II.

Alles im Märchen tritt so auf, daß die verschiedenen Vorgänge und Bilder nichts anderes sind als Wiedererzählungen astralischer Erlebnisse.

Die einen Menschen erzählten sie den anderen, die anderen nahmen sie auf, und so wanderten die Märchen von Gegend zu Gegend.
