The dark fairy as a deity of fate
From virgin to deity of fate
Fairies have supernatural powers. They can "cast spells", that is, they can move matter. As a winged being, Maleficent is a spiritual figure, a "goddess" and also an anima figure. Once she was "goddess of the sky", namely VIRGIN. Her way leads her down to earth, where she has to go on foot, because her wings were cut off. At last she regains her spiritual power. As queen of the underworld she is an image for the Mother Goddess in her third aspect as a deity of destiny (see Female Wholeness - the Goddess, White / Red / Black) .
Fate: good gifts and trials
In life, man receives good gifts and resources from destiny as the Great Mother, which enable him to reach his goal. However, he also has to face trials and overcomes obstacles by bringing love to bear.
Maleficent - the fate of the princess
Thus the fate of the young princess is also linked to Maleficent. The curse means that she will meet the same fate as Maleficent, which and in general befalls countless women. It is the plight of many women who are abused and hurt by unlawful and loveless sexual intercourse. (S. The poisoned apple - abuse as a collective reality).
The death and resurrection of love
Because love can die in the process, she is in danger of falling prey to power.
But Maleficent learns to love Aurora and saves her from this fate with all her strength and power. This means nothing other than that the strong woman learns to love herself and to integrate her weaknesses. Thus the VIRGIN in her, the pure love, rises again (symbolised by the princess).
