The story

Rumpelstiltskin is the eponymous character and main antagonist of an original German fairy tale. This tale was collected by the Brothers Grimm in 1812, and revised in later editions.

A poor miller, in order to impress the King and to get him to marry his daughter, lies and tells him that she is able to spin straw and turn it into gold. The King summons the girl, locks her in a tower with straw and a spinning wheel, and demands that she turn the straw into gold by morning for three nights, or be executed. The girl had already given up all hope, when a dwarf (in some versions a goblin) appears in the room and turns all the straw into gold in exchange for her necklace; the next night she asks him for her ring. On the third night, when she had nothing to give him, the leprechaun performs his function in exchange for the first child the girl had.

The King is so impressed that he decides to marry her, but when the couple’s first child is born, the dwarf returns to claim his payment.

The Queen, who had forgotten about him, is frightened and offers him all her wealth if he will let her keep the child. The dwarf refuses, but finally agrees to give up his demand, but creates another: that the Queen should be able to guess his name in three days. On the first day, she fails, but before the second night, her messenger hears the elf jumping around a fire and singing. And in the song he says his name, Rumpelstilsequim. When the dwarf went to the Queen on the third day, she reveals his name and he loses his business, and blind with rage he splits in two.

The heroine of the tale is a beautiful but poor young woman. And as a heroine we know that she will rescue and save something.

In the tale her mother is absent, which makes us assume that she may have died. Also, there was no queen. With this we can assume that her mission is to rescue the feminine that is devalued. Her father, by lying and saying that she turns straw into gold, gives her a value that even if not recognized exists in her.

The act of spinning and weaving is essentially feminine. It is a work that exercises patience and helps the feminine nature to get rid of its masculine side. Gold is something of great value and incorruptible, and in African myths it is linked to the goddess of love Oxum, the most feminine of the Orixás. We can conclude, then, that she is spinning and weaving her value as a woman and rescuing the feminine in the collective consciousness.

But in doing so she will have to deal with a mocking figure, a dwarf or elf. The dwarf symbolizes small character impulses, funny or vulgar. Many stories say that they do the work for us, which is the case here. However, he asks three times for something of value in return, showing that she must also give something of herself in this effort to rescue the feminine and that she must learn to negotiate rather than compete as is typical of the masculine

The issue of the three trials is common in fairy tales. When he finishes spinning for the third time, the king decides to marry the girl, but she forgets the dwarf, that is, she forgets this playful impulse, however, which can be very creative. And forgetting an impulse makes it come back with more force.

And it comes back wanting her baby, indicating that she needs to rescue her maternal impulses. For the feminine, love is more valuable than gold, and as proof she needs to know the name of the dwarf. This means that she needs to name her conflict.

In psychotherapy, when we give a name to the conflict we achieve more awareness. It is an insight that tells us, “Now I know what I have!” Which makes assimilation easier.

By naming Rumpelstiltskin, she brings it to consciousness and it ceases to be a destructive force and becomes a creative force, which will help her negotiate with the demands of the external and internal world, without losing her femininity.
