by This passage is from the book 'The Brothers Grimm From Enchanted Forests to the Modern World' by Jack Zipes.
Inevitably they find their way into the forest. It is there that they lose and find themselves. It is there that they gain a sense of what is to be done. The forest is always large, immense, great, and mysterious. No one ever gains power over the forest, but the forest possesses the power to change lives and alter destinies. In many ways it is the supreme authority on earth and often the great provider. It is not only Hansel and Gretel, who get lost in the forest and then return wiser and fulfilled.

you know i don't think i ever saw the disney version of Snow White...had a disney book of a bunch of 'fairytales' when i was a kid...but i never saw the movie that I recall!
"No one ever gains power over the forest" I wonder what this might mean for Regina (what are you doing in MY forest)...
She seems to use the forest more as a tool though. So far she can't order the trees and rocks to move.
Though the evil queen in Disney's was killed by a boulder in the forest.
