The word "initiation" is mentioned a hundred times in this episode. As we continue to read Bernard Roger's book, The Initiatory Path in Fairy Tales, he valiantly explains the origins of Fairy Tales came from the origins of initiation itself. We learn about Bear John and that it is one of the oldest Fairy Tales in existence. The bear itself, corresponds as one of the most ancient symbols of man.
