Disney occult wisdom

[VIRAL]

Here are some interesting lyrics from "Sword in the Stone" That smack of pagan and hermetic teachings and, strangely, Nietzche .


Left and right
Like day and night
That's what makes the world go round
In and out
Thin and stout
That's what makes the world go round

For every up there is a down
For every square there is a round
For every high there is a low
For every to there is a fro
To and fro
Stop and go
That's what makes the world go round

You must set your sights upon the heights
Don't be a mediocrity
Don't just wait and trust to fate
And say, that's how it's meant to be
It's up to you how far you go
If you don't try you'll never know
And so my lad as I've explained
Nothing ventured, nothing gained

You see my boy it's nature's way
Upon the weak the strong ones prey
The human life it's also true
The strong will try to conquer you
That is what you must expect
Unless you use your intellect
Brains and brawn, weak and strong
That's what makes the world go round

haha!
wow, Disney is evil. recruiting the young 'uns.
now we shall add this to the list of evil deeds.

I wouldn't exactly call those lyrics evil.

[Balam_del_Monte]

i know.
but i meant that in response to everything else dubbed evil by disney.
and also since disney has been rarely attacked by fundamentalists claiming that certain books, films, and tv shows are corrupting their children (ex. harry potter).

There have been claims of pagan subtext in Disney movies before. Mary Poppins was clearly a witch of some sort, but I've also heard a theory that the movie had alchemical symbology in the interaction between Mary and Bert. A similar claim could be made about Bedknobs and Broomsticks, or in fact about nearly any fantasy with occult roots. The "Firebird" sequence in Fantasia 2000 had some pagan imagery too. My personal favorite, though, is the TV cartoon Recess. One of the main characters, "Vince" is a fan of the basketball team "The Pagans" (presumably their world's Boston Celtics) and the Christmas episode had the Druid Yule on equal footing with the Jewish Hanukkah. (Santa Claus upstaged them both, but that's to be expected.)

I loved Bedknoobs and Broomsticks.

i had no knowledge of Paganism when i watched Recess. i must find reruns somewhere.
