"According to Christian teaching, evil does not exist and if one is innocent everything will be all right. But Christianity by being misinterpreted in this way has made us all infantile and has robbed us of our sound instinctual attitude toward life. We all try to be innocent sheep, and then we are of course helpless. There we link up with... a certain kind of wrong Christian attitude where one is innocent so nothing can happen, for the protecting angels will apparently care for you. But reality contradicts this kind of teaching because in this world and in nature innocence does not help. It invites the wolves."

–M. L. Von Franz, The Puer Aeternus Problem, p. 175.

(The story that inspired this card)

"The poor thing. High up on her perch, she thought she was bigger than the world. In all, it was a grand day for our little Blanquette. Suddenly, a cold wind blew over the mountains. The vista turned a rosy purple – and then, it was night. “Already!” said the little goat, a little bit suprised. She began to shiver. Then there was a terrible howl echoing in the mountain! She thought of the wolf. All day long she didn’t think of him but now…"
