Fertile and life-giving, it s a psychology of women in the truest sense, a knowing of the soul. The 1992 feminist sensation Women Who Run With the Wolves has returned, as a new generation of artists embrace women’s bodies in all their hormonal, bloody glory. Estes has created a lexicon for describing the female psyche.
Estes collects the bones of many stories, looking for the archetypal motifs that set a woman's inner life into motion. Estes uses multicultural myths, fairy tales, folk tales, and stories chosen from over twenty years of research that help women reconnect with the healthy, instinctual, visionary attributes of the Wild Woman archetype. Clarissa Pinkola Estes beautifully communicates traditional Native stories of the Wild Woman and analyses with the reader the psyche, and how understanding our own inner psyche how we as women (and men) can move out of victim-hood into the Wild being that we should be: strong, daring and Wild. Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D., Jungian analyst and cantadora storyteller, shows how woman's vitality can be restored through what she calls "psychic archeological digs" into the ruins of the female unconscious. Without Wild Woman, we become over-domesticated, fearful, uncreative, trapped. She honors what is tough, smart, and untamed in women. Though the gifts of wildish nature come to us at birth, society's attempt to "civilize" us into rigid roles has plundered this treasure, and muffled the deep, life-giving messages of our own souls.
Her name is Wild Woman, but she is an endangered species. Within every woman there is a wild and natural creature, a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing.
