The Disturbing Origins of 10 Famous Fairy Tales
by Emily Temple (reblogged fromĀ Flavorwire)Ā
Sleeping Beauty
In one of the very earliest versions of this classic story, published in 1634 by Giambattista Basile asĀ Sun, Moon, and Talia, the princess does not prick her finger on a spindle, but rather gets a sliver of flax stuck under her fingernail. She falls down, apparently dead, but her father cannot face the idea of losing her, so he lays her body on a bed in one of his estates.
Later, a king out hunting in the woods finds her, and since he canāt wake her up, rapes her while sheās unconscious, then heads home to his own country. Some time after that, still unconscious, she gives birth to two children, and one of them accidentally sucks the splinter out of her finger, so she wakes up. The king who raped her is already married, but he burns his wife alive so he and Talia can be together. Donāt worry, the wife tries to kill and eat the babies first, so itās all morally sound.Little Red Riding Hood
If you can believe it, the Brothers Grimm actually made this story a lot nicer than it was when they got their hands on it. In Charles Perraultās version, included in his 1697 collectionĀ Stories or Fairy Tales from Past Times: Tales of Mother Goose, there is no intrepid huntsman. Little Red simply strips naked, gets in bed, and then dies, eaten up by the big bad wolf, with no miraculous relief (in another version, she eats her own grandmother first, her flesh cooked up and her blood poured into a wine glass by our wolfish friend).
Instead, Perrault gives us a little rhyming verse reminding us that not all wolves are wild beasts ā some seduce with gentleness, sneak into our beds, and get us there. The sexual undertones are not lost on us ā after all, the contemporary French idiom for a girl having lost her virginity wasĀ elle avoit vĆ» le loup ā she has seen the wolf.Rumpelstiltskin
This story is pretty simple: a millerās daughter is trapped and forced to spin straw into gold, on pain of death. A little man appears to her, and spins it for her, but says that he will take her child in payment unless she can guess his name. In the Grimm version, when the maiden finally figures out Rumpelstiltskinās name, he reacts rather badly: āThe Devil told you that! The Devil told you that!ā the little man yelled, and in his fury he stamped his right foot so hard that he drove it into the ground right up to his waist. Then he took hold of his left foot with both hands and tore himself in two.ā Ick.Cinderella
Here, Perrault is much nicer than Grimm ā in his version, the two cruel stepsisters get married off to members of the royal court after Cinderella is properly married to the prince. In the Grimm story, not only do the stepsisters cut off parts of their feet in order to fit into the glass slippers (surprise, surprise, the blood pooling in their shoes gives them away), but at the end, they have their eyes pecked out by doves. Just for good measure.Snow White
First of all, in the original 1812 Grimm version of this tale, the evil Queen is Snow Whiteās actual mother, not her stepmother. We donāt know, but that makes it a lot more terrifying to us. The Disney version also left out the fact that the Queen sends the huntsman out to bring back Snow Whiteās liver and lungs, which she then means to eat. And the fact that sheās actually not in a deep sleep when the prince finds her ā sheās dead, and heās carting off her dead body to play with when his servant trips, jostles the coffin, and dislodges the poison apple from SWās throat.
Most notable, however, is the punishment the Grimms thought up for her. When the queen shows up at Snow Whiteās wedding, sheās forced to step into iron shoes that had been cooking in the fire, and then dances until she falls down dead.Hansel and Gretel
The version of the story we know is already pretty gruesome ā the evil stepmother abandons the children to die in the forest, they happen upon a cannibalistic witchās cottage, she fattens them up to eat, they outwit and kill her and escape. The Grimm version is basically the same, but in an early French version, calledĀ The Lost Children, the witch is the Devil, and the Devil wants to bleed the children on a sawhorse. Of course, they pretend not to know how to get on, so the Devil has his wife (who tried to help the poor kids earlier in the story) show them. They promptly slit her throat, steal all the Devilās money, and run off.Rapunzel
Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair. Well, in the Grimm version, she does, a little too often, to a prince, and winds up pregnant, innocently remarking to her jailer witch that her clothes feel too tight.
The witch, not to have any competition, chops off Rapunzelās hair and magically transports her far away, where she lives as a beggar with no money, no home, and after a few months, two hungry mouths to feed. As for the prince, the witch lures him up and then pushes him from the window. Some thorn bushes break his fall, but also poke out his eyes. For all this extra bloodshed, however, thereās still a happy ending.Goldilocks and the Three Bears
In this taleās earliest known incarnation, there was no Goldilocks ā only the three bears and a fox called Scrapefoot, who enters the three bearsā palace, sleeps in their beds and messes around with their salmon of knowledge. In the end, she either gets thrown out of the window or eaten, depending on whoās telling the tale. Interestingly, it has been suggested that the use of the word āvixenā to mean female fox is how we got to Goldilocks, by means of a crafty old woman in the intervening story incarnations.The Little Mermaid
We all know the story of the little mermaid: she sells her voice for a pair of legs, flops around for a bit, then wins her princeās heart, right? Well, not exactly. In Hans Christian Andersenās original tale, she trades tongue for legs all right, but part of the deal is that every step will be nearly unbearable, like walking on sharp swords, and the day after the prince marries someone else, sheāll die and turn into sea foam.
Hoping to win the princeās heart, she dances for him, even though itās agony. He claps along, but eventually decides to marry another. The mermaidās sisters sell their hair to bring her a dagger and urge her to kill the prince and let his blood drip onto her feet, which will then become fins again. She sneaks up on him, but canāt bring herself to do it. So she dies, and dissolves into foam. Later, Andersen changed the ending, so that the mermaid becomes a ādaughter of the airā ā if she does good deeds for 300 years, she can get a soul and go to heaven. Many scholars find this rubbish.The Frog Prince
Traditionally the very first story in the Grimm Brothersā collection, this story is simple enough: the princess kisses the frog, out of the goodness of her heart, and he turns into a prince. Or, if youāre reading the original version, the frog tricks the resentful princess into making a deal with him, follows her home, keeps pushing himself further and further onto her silken pillow, until finally she hurls him against the wall. Somehow, this action is rewarded by his transformation into a prince, but itās not even the most violent. In other early versions, she has to cut off his head instead. Thatās rather far off from the traditional kiss, donāt you think?I did a module on Fairytales last year and it was absolutely fascinating. A lot of these have even earlier recorded versions that are infinitely more disturbing. One has Red Riding Hood actually getting raped by the wolf.

Iām not satanic but these are some damn good rules.
satan does not support rape, animal cruelty, or child abuse
when walking in open territory, bother no one. if someone bothers you, ask them to stop. if they do not stop,Ā destroy them.
*Today on I Didnāt Know I was a Satanist*
I agree with all of these rulesā¦Iām really uncomfortable now
