Who is Vasalisa and why is she so wise? In the ancient story, she's a little girl who learns to listen to her grown-up feminine intuition, or mother nature if you will. The story is symbolic of women, culturally expected to be nice and naive like the little girl in them, hungry for knowledge, true nature and power hidden within but untapped. It is believed by some that this was the original version of Cinderella, as the story mirrors some of the circumstances and ultimately the lesson. However, in the modern tale of Cinderella, the details are much less gritty than in the story with Vasalisa and it's a bit harder to dig deep and receive the message.
This blog will reflect my own recognition of intuition, all things a long time coming, the perpetual late bloomer in me and I hope, a record of both the time of my life and the greatest turning point as well.
