Women Who Run with the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype | Clarissa Pinkola Est�s Phd

Cuilin I grew up in the Irish/Celtic mythology tradition. I don‘t think I fully understood it as a child. It was just fun stories. Now as an adult I‘m embracing the feminine power of the Brehon laws and the tuatha dé Danann. 3w

TheBookHippie I grew up with dark fairytales and folklore and BabaYaga. I always preferred it as it was realistic and truth. Disney Princess HEA has always not appealed to me, at all. I find it demeaning to women and I feel it weakens them. It‘s a tool of the patriarchy in my opinion. 3w

dabbe I was all in for the fairy tales with the HEA's. My parents divorced when I was 10, so I was always chasing down a male, authoritative figure--even though my mom was trying to teach me otherwise. Then, Mr. Gailo gave us Edith Hamilton's MYTHOLOGY book, and my eyes 👀 out of my socket. Such brutality! Such female wusses and bas-asses! It was then Disney no more but GRIMM'S FAIRY TALES for me. The grimmer, the better. 3w

TheBookHippie @dabbe I adore Grimms. 🖤🖤🖤 3w

Chrissyreadit @Cuilin I also love Celtic mythology! and @dabbe i grew up on the blue fairy book and green fairy book and grimes fairy tales. I was the mom who did not embrace Disney- and my daughter struggled by her limited engagement in pop culture. but i really was frustrated by how princesses were always the main character and everything was to get a prince. and the mother always died- and the stepmother was always cruel… 3w

TheBookHippie @Chrissyreadit I like the colors fairy books too. My daughter only liked Lion King and then Hunchback of Notre Dame Disney of all things .. I didn‘t promote it either. She adored Pooh mostly. 3w

ElizaMarie When I read this prompt, I initially thought of La Llorona. I know this book is going to have a part in this story - I am eager to read. Initially, it just scared me. She kills kids! But now, I feel like the kids weren't children per se, but more of an extension of herself. I feel sorrow for her, anger for her pain. Also, grew up with stories about Santa Muerte and how mainstream media misunderstands our flaca. 3w

ElizaMarie @TheBookHippie Although I liked Disney, I didn't aspire to be the princess. I was always drawn to the villains, their story, their history. My favorite Disney movie was Alice in Wonderland, which didn't have the girl-lives-for-guy aspect of it. I agree, I felt the whole “your only worth is a man to love“ really hurt girls. 3w

TheBookHippie @ElizaMarie Alice is my favorite too. I adore the Cheshire Cat! 3w

ElizaMarie @TheBookHippie --- ❤️❤️❤️❤️ #GreatMinds ❤️❤️❤️❤️ --- 3w

Chrissyreadit @ElizaMarie I‘m so excited to hear your insights- i think you will have grown up with some stories that I do not know anything about. I also love Alice- i have the We are all mad here quote in so many places ❤️ 3w

ElizaMarie @Chrissyreadit I have it tattooed on my back shoulder :) Ha! 3w

I ate a whole bag of these last night. #comfortsnackintimesofstress

TheBookHippie I cannot eat them from here only Canadian ones! 😂 2mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie They're not MAGA owned, are they? 😱 2mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe ingredients are different 😂🙃 far better tasting from Canada. 2mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie Good to know! I'll have to check them out! I wish I'd gotten some bags now when I was there. 🤦🏼‍♀️ 2mo

Susanita Gimme a break! 2mo

JenlovesJT47 Unfortunately most chocolate is better than USA chocolate imo 😅 @TheBookHippie — I think the best one I ever tasted is one my sister brought me from France last year 🤤 2mo

Ruthiella 😋😋😋 2mo

AmyG Been there done that. 2mo

AnnCrystal 👏🏼🐝👍🏼🍫😋🐝💝...I believe the difference is that US makes chocolate extra, extra sweet compared to Europeans. At least, this is what I've been told.

My ancestral world made a chocolate drink from cacao paste, water, and chili peppers. Sometimes spices and herbs like vanilla, allspice, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper were added (depending on tribe). This was drank cold. I really want to try this one day...I just haven't had the nerve. 2mo

AnnCrystal You can try Sprouts or Worlds Market (are they still around ?? ). They should have worldwide options available.

Years ago, I tried real liquorice (the kind made from the root) from an Australian company. And my mom favorited these butter cookies from Norway. Both came from World's Market before we realized that is was eco-green to support locally made. 2mo

dabbe @Susanita I dare ya to break off a piece! 2mo

dabbe @JenlovesJT47 French chocolate? Hell ya! 🧡🤎💛 2mo

dabbe @Ruthiella IKR? 🧡🤎💛 2mo

dabbe @AmyG #greatminds 2mo

dabbe @AnnCrystal If only they had dark chocolate Kit Kats; I agree that US chocolate is way too sweet. 2mo

Amiable I‘m partial to Snickers. 😋 2mo

AnnCrystal @dabbe Sprouts has dark chocolate mint filled, and maybe peanut butter too. I believe these are from Colorado?? Not sure.

🤔 I do believe I need to go make some chocolate cookies now...need chocolate, always need chocolate 😂🍫😋. 2mo

dabbe @Amiable Ooh, adore those, too! Not sure if I could eat a whole bag in one sitting, though. Oh, who am I kidding; of course I could! 😂🤩😂 2mo

dabbe @AnnCrystal I'll give Sprouts a try; thanks! 💛🤎🧡 2mo

Leftcoastzen @TheBookHippie too sweet? Something they put in it ? 2mo

TheBookHippie @Leftcoastzen just bland and way too many ingredients. Canadian kitkat tastes better with way less ingredients … 2mo

Leftcoastzen @TheBookHippie US version of anything seems filled with chemical ingredients,probably for profit margins. (edited) 2mo

TheBookHippie @Leftcoastzen I very rarely buy processed food. There‘s too much crap in it. 2mo

TheBookHippie @Leftcoastzen keeps us all sick. 😵‍💫 2mo

wildwoodreads Ok. Now I need a KitKat. The Halloween mini ones are my favorite for some reason lol 1mo

dabbe @wildwoodreads That's what I ate a whole bag of--the minis. #greatminds 🧡🤎💛 1mo
