“One sees, therefore, that actually the great battle between life and death, good and evil, the girl and the great nature witch, becomes a secret magical contest as to whose magical powers are stronger, the girl’s or the witch’s, and the two respect each other’s power mutually. Vasilisa does not ask the last question about the witch’s secret, and the witch either does not notice, or pretends not to notice, the girl’s great secret. So they can part partie remise. Keep this in mind, because I will concentrate on the magical contest later, as it is one of the most important problems.” Shadow and Evil in Fairytales. Marie-Louise von Franz. 1974
