Possession in Folk Tales

Summary/Abstract: In the world of folk tales, demonic possession is often linked to sin. In The Princess in the Shroud type tales (ATU 307), the princess falls into a state of demonic possession due to her own sins and the curse placed upon her. The key to redemption lies in the hands of the heroic savior, who, following divine guidance, undertakes the trials and frees the princess from the captivity of death and damnation. Through the hero's actions, not only does the princess receive a new life, but the hero’s own fate also improves with the help of divine providence, leading to prosperity and happiness. These tales reflect the Christian perspective on sin and redemption, emphasizing the role of heroic sacrifice and divine providence.
