A Woman’s Bible = Women Who run With Wolves = A book I believe every woman should have in their arsenal
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Estes has bestowed upon us all a great gift. A map to hep us navigate our own unconscious by analyzing and retelling the myths, stories and fairy tales that we have heard since childhood. I know for myself I had to dismantle a whole life to get back to my feral yet authentic roots. Sometimes it’s a question of survival to get back to our wild selves .
Quoted...frm the book...
“The desert is a place where life is very condensed. The roots of living things hold on to that last tear of water and the flower hoards its moisture by only appearing in late afternoon. Life in the desert is small but brilliant and most of what occurs goes on underground. This is like the lives of many women… Many of us have lived desert lives: very small on the surface, and enormous under the ground.”
“Like the wolf, intuition has claws that pry things open and pin things down, it has eyes that can see through the shields of mundane human hearing. With these formidable psychic tools a woman takes on a precognitive animal consciousness, one that deepens femininity and sharpens her ability to move confidently in the outer world.”
“A woman must be willing to burn hot, burn with passion, burn with words, with ideas, with desire for whatever it is that she truly loves. One will arrange that one’s creative life has consistent fire under it.”
