This is the second of our TWO PARTER with our white knights, Kelsey and Abbie from Fairy Tale Fix! We will continue to deconstruct the Damsels in Distress Archetype and how the influence of Christian and family values have sanitised some of the juciest tales of our youth. We rewind the clock to the Italian origin of Rapunzel - Petrosinella - before having some pop culture chats about our favourite badass women.

In medieval Europe, the practice of catoptromancy (divination using reflections) was closely tied to witchcraft and the belief that a mirror reveals the future rather than the present.
