In the last "Wise Crone Cottage Podcast," storyteller, Kathy Shimpock shared the Grimm fairy tale "The Girl Without Hands." This is a continuation of that discussion. This time we'll focus on the earlier 1812 version of the story. We'll see how the Handless Maiden shifts from a persecuted figure into a heroine. We'll also explore the ways this story has been used for both healing and empowering. Finally, Kathy will share her version of this tale. I wonder which you'll enjoy best. I'm sure the wise crone knows. [For best understanding, start by listening to the Season 4, Episode 1 podcast or read the story below.]
