Women who run with the wolves

Within every Woman there is a Wild, and Natural Creature ~ A Powerful Force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing. Her name is Wild Woman, but she is an endangered species. Though the gifts of the wildish nature come to us at Birth, societies attempt to "civilize" us into rigid roles has plundered this treasure and muffled the deep, Life-giving messages of our own Souls. Without Wild Woman, we become over-domesticated, fearful, uncreative, trapped..." ~ Clarissa Pinkola Estes
 

This is just a little something from a book I am reading at the moment,I am about halfway through it and I can tell you that no other book ever changed my way of thinking and helped me during a hard time in my life as much as this one.It is very powerful and every sentence is so well thought out that you have to be fully present in order to absorb it.The book was first published in 1996 and it is timeless.Every woman should read  it and every man that wants to understand women should read it too.

A healthy woman is much like a wolf, strong life force, life-giving, territorily aware, intuitive and loyal. Yet seperation from her wildish nature causes a woman to become meager, anxious, and fearful.

The wild nature carries the medicine for all things. She carries stories, dreams, words and songs. She carries everything a woman needs to be and know. She is the essence of the female soul...

With the wild nature as ally and teacher, we see not through two eyes only, but through the many eyes of intuition. With intuition we are like the starry night, we gaze at the world through a thousand eyes.
