Every day you find something true that makes you think – whether it be as fair as beautiful Snow White, or frustrating and dark like the evil Stepmother and her Dark Count – tell us about it! You may include pictures, soundfiles, videos, and internet links. We’ll post them for thousands of our visitors to ponder. And you will start them thinking, too, meet many friends, and add your own contribution to turning The True Snow White into a magic mirror of today’s world . . .
Once upon a time, there was a fierce woman . . .
Let the boys play with their swords and their guns but the women are
where the real action is.

your body matters less than what goes on in your head and your heart.

Why Fairy Tales? An introduction
By Harald Walter Azmann, November 26, 2007
Tell Me True
Tell me mirror, tell me true,
What is it I see when I look at you?
Is it the beauty that I crave,
The looks I love, to which I’m a slave?
You look like gold, says the mirror,
If that’s what you want, that’s what you’ll hear;
It sound so perfect in the light
And glitters bright if that light is right.
But what is it I would see beyond
The silver backing my reflection is on?
What may I know if only I asked
To find the perfect learning task?
Mirrors are straight, they never lie,
Providing the truth to the observant eye.
But get by what it is you see
And you will know what sets you free.
