Folklore and Fairytales The Golden Key
The story does not say whether the iron chest contains demons or treasure;
it might contain either, both or nothing at all. Perhaps, like Schrödinger's cat,
the very act of opening the chest will determine what is inside. Which prompts
a more fundamental question: what does the image of the locked chest represent?
Like all good stories, it has many possible meanings. Personally, I find the idea that
the iron chest (buried and locked) is a metaphor for the unconscious self, to be most helpful.
To open the chest is to delve into unknown parts of our psyche and ask what hidden aspects
of ourselves are now becoming available and what would it take to find and embrace them?
Why would we choose to face these shadows? Because, as Jung said:
“One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light,
but by making the darkness conscious.”
Only by making the unconscious conscious can we hope to embark on the journey of
becoming who we truly are.
And if we decide that the time has come to unlock this chest and rummage inside,
where shall we find the golden key? There are many possibilities: philosophy, therapy,
meditation, physical disciplines, artistic and creative expression, vision quests,
and rituals, to name but a few. One of the most ancient and accessible paths to wholeness
is through exploring stories such as this one.
With this in mind, my long-time colleague and friend Ashley Ramsden has devised a group exercise,
in which participants are encouraged to identify with, and then to exchange, particular word-images
in a story that catch their imagination. For example, from the Golden Key, I might say:
“I am ‘if the key does but fit’ or I am ‘in that little box’ or I am ‘now we must wait.'”
If I listen carefully and compassionately to myself speaking such phrases
then I can begin to acknowledge the kernels of truth within them, e.g. about my existential
anxiety; my self-limiting beliefs; the ways in which I hold myself back. Your word-images and
phrases will be different from mine, but the principle is the same.

I do not think our successes can compete with those of Lourdes.
There are so many people who believe in the miracles of the Blessed
