In this short film, mythologist, author, and storyteller Martin Shaw tells the old Norwegian story of “The Lindworm,” a mythical creature that is part human and part snake. This ancient tale poses a timely question: what have we exiled that returns to us in fury? This telling of “The Lindworm” reminds us of the enduring wisdom of this timeless myth and of our often fraught and fearful relationship with the wild.

Jung would have gone nuts with this one. Wonder if it appears in his work? Like a dream filled with interacting archetypes which holds answers to everything. Bravo

The Lindworm: I'm a serpent mum and dad. I'm meant to be slain. King and Queen: Not to us.

It is funny because in out her versions she eats two onions, one with the skin and one without it. The onion with skin is obviously the serpent

In another version a KZfaqr animated The different flowers represent different genders White was male, red was female. The queen picked white but it was so delicious she ate the red as well, The story continues the same with only a few difference near the end, after the clothes she throws the milk on the lindworm, she uses a wip on him, then hugs him, and he comes out a pale prince with white hair. Interesting how everyone knows a different version of the same story.

It's fascinating since the Chinese dragon looks like a lindworm but it's not much of a snake but rather came from being a carp until it got bigger and stronger that it reached the heavens by swimming upstream. But damn, what a beautiful archetype the lindworm is, still though the archetypal details are hard to understand but it's scintillating.

But after giving birth, how ugly as it seems, the snake was part of the woman, fed and nurtured by her body. Sad but beautiful story!

Wow, great, I've never heard this before. Is "Lindworm" a Norse word ? Lime trees are also called Linden and this name seems to have the same origin. During the European Bronze Ages, the bark of Linden trees was used for making fibre for ropes and other cordage use. The original meaning of 'lind' was apparently 'flexible' (perhaps a flexible line or fibre, I think), and this is the origin of similar words like liana, lithe, lenient and linen. So a Lindworm would be a long, flexible worm. Another word for snake or serpent then.
