O simbolismo do centro nas narrativas maravilhosas : notas introdutórias

Abstract

Stories, legends and myths speak almost always of a pilgrimage in the direction of the Centre, of the initialising function of tests and successive meetings. Only the hero (or the heroine) who is given the opportunity to read and decipher the multiplicity of the trodden paths will be able to recognise the direction and meaning of the journey. Only he or she will know how to take full conscience of the sacred value of his / her ascension, on a journey of reconciliation which recognises and overtakes all destructive dualities.
