The Enneagram in Fairy Tales

4/11/2013

Explaining the enneagram to children can be made easier when you realise that all fairy tales contain examples of the enneagram types. Here's a few to start you off.
Picture
1. The princess from 'The Princess and the Pea'. She shows how a One's attention goes directly to even the smallest imperfection.
Picture
2. 'Rumplestiltskin'. He seems so helpful and kind at first, but underneath it all he expected huge rewards.
Picture
3. The queen in 'Snow White'. Obsessed with her own image and being the best, she is also a master of disguise when she transforms herself into an old crone.
Picture
4. 'The Little Mermaid'. She fourishly develops an intense crush, then suffers heartbreak and ends up full of despair and melancholy.
Picture
5. The witch from 'Hansel and Gretel'. Isolated from society, she is skilfully inventive and totally eccentric.
Picture
6. The third of the 'Three Little Pigs'. Like a Six, he is hard-working and suspicious and builds a fortress against fears.
Picture
7. Goldilocks from 'The Three Bears'. A adventurous, pleasure-seeking character who has to try everything.
Picture
8. Jack in 'Jack and the Beanstalk'. He's fearless, strong and resourceful: it's not surprising he beats the giant.
Picture
9. 'Sleeping Beauty'. She symbolises the Nine's habit of drifting away from wakefulness into a daze.
