 It is our great pleasure to offer the greatly loved story of Iron Hans. Many of you will know it by its other name, “Iron John,” through the work of Robert Bly, poet and storyteller extraordinaire.  In that groundbreaking book, Iron John: A Book About Men, he identifies Iron John as the Wild Man, an essential elemental earth spirit within the psychic life of men.  It is for women as well, because inside every woman is her inner man who also is in need of initiation.  So often the fairy tales seem to have as their “star” a beautiful young woman.  This story, however, is about a young man.  It helps us struggle with the question, “What does it take for a boy to become a man?" To start with, he needs to find and make friends with his ancestors, his natural “wildness.”  Having Iron Hans as a foster father and “male mother” is key.  We may wonder, in addition to the Wild Man, what other Powers and Helpers we will find as we journey through this story.  Please join us to partake of this ancient story, which may be ten thousand years old. =0D=0A=
