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

Okay, I think I‘ve caught up. I‘ve finished chapter one. I‘m still processing, but I felt like there was a connection between this first chapter and this video is a on YouTube the other day. Maybe it doesn‘t connect. I may still be under the influence of cold meds, but I kept thinking about this video all throughout the first chapter and wanted to share.

GingerAntics @zezeki it really stood out, and really rang true with something deep inside me. I liked and followed before the video was even half over. 12h

GingerAntics @Cuilin there is something so primally true about her words. I love it. 12h

dabbe P🖤WERFUL! I definitely have some mini-deaths to say a final good-bye to. Thanks for sharing this. 🧡🩶💜 10h

GingerAntics @dabbe she has this wonderfully calming voice 8h

Chrissyreadit Thank you for sharing! It resonates with parts work- and recognizing that we hold onto parts of ourselves out of fear instead of leaning into growth and change. It‘s also similar to how the death card is considered an ill omen when death is necessary for growth and change. 3h

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

I read the intro and underlined about 90% of it. After sitting with it for a few days, this section about fear was what I kept coming back to. Fear and anger are emotions that are inextricably linked for me. If I feel one, the other follows almost instaneously. Because I taught myself early on to suppress those feelings, I believed they were bad emotions. ⬇️

lil1inblue It took a long time (and is still an ongoing process) to see that anger and fear can even be useful and necessary, and that I can harness them, instead of letting them fester and kill or trap my spirit. 1d

Women who Run with the Wolves: Contacting the Power of the Wild Woman | Clarissa Pinkola Est's

Took a break from school - not sure how long yet (was going for my nurse practitioner's license, but really burned out on nursing right now). I have a lot of healing to do, which involves relaxing, loving myself, and protecting myself from negativity (hard to do when you are in health care) - This group is part of this journey. Feel so much freer knowing I don't have to listen/read/work on difficult cases while I am off work. #WildWomen

I just got my new copy, and it is SIGNIFICANTLY larger than the previous one! It needs to spend a day or two in the freezer (it‘s a little funky) but then I intend to get this party started!

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

Having taught comparative literature and archetypal literature, I cannot explain how much I am looking forward to revisiting these elements and learning even more--now as a peer and student. I tagged the book that I used with my kids (it's incredible and not at ALL about myths!), and even shared some teacher notes in the pic above. ⬇️

dabbe The archetypal character #wildwomen was never taught (freshmen!), so I am so eager to find this person inside of me and greet her like an old friend. 🖤🤍🩶 3d

TheBookHippie I could interloan that book from the library- how fun! 3d

ElizaMarie I am excited to join this. The #WildWoman is near and dear to my heart. My abula used to talk to me about the Loba within us, so it's bringing some nostalgia to this read. In a way, its kinda making me feel a bit more “normal“ or “part of“ a group rather than an outsider with weird beliefs growing up. 3d

lil1inblue ❤ 3d

dabbe @TheBookHippie It's the only book I took with me when I retired; I go back and reread parts quite frequently. 🧡🩶💜 2d

dabbe The book I used with my freshmen is tagged. It also taught the idea that we have lost sight of who we really are, and we have buried those stories too deep into our collective unconscious that they're hard to find. We lead very linear lives these days. Always look ahead, don't move back, go forward and march! Even our clocks are linear on our phones! When's the last time we looked at a clock where the hand is MOVING? Our ancestry lived cyclical ⬇️ 3d

dabbe ... not linear lives, and it is only by going back and finding those deep connections to nature and our pagan selves that we will unearth our stories again and find that wild woman that is still there deep within us. 3d

Cuilin @dabbe “Our pagan selves” yes. I hear this as a call almost 💜 Go back, listen, connect!! 3d

See All 32 Comments

Chrissyreadit @dabbe I do not see the tagged book can you reshare? 3d

Chrissyreadit @dabbe @Cuilin I really agree about pagan roots. The book When God Was a Woman was a huge influence on me. 3d

TheBookHippie @dabbe I have never believed in linear life. Nature is us. @Chrissyreadit @Cuilin one of the things I find interesting is people‘s opinions of being barefoot they peg it is dirty and I think of shoes that way. I‘m barefoot as much a possible and it‘s so grounding. 3d

Chrissyreadit @TheBookHippie science is showing that to be better, except here in appalachia where it supports worms. 3d

TheBookHippie @Chrissyreadit 🫣 3d

dabbe @Chrissyreadit Shoot. I never tagged it!

Introduction to Mythology

dabbe @Cuilin Is is our call! In Hero's Quest lingo, it's our CALL TO ADVENTURE: to slay the dragon, cross the poisonous river, deal with asshole men 😂 ... and we wild women have to be our own heroes and answer that call. 3d

dabbe @Chrissyreadit Adding that to my TBR! 🖤🤍🩶 3d

dabbe @TheBookHippie @Chrissyreadit @Cuilin Kids would try to convince me of a linear nature example: the seasons: first comes spring, then we move forward to summer ... Then I showed them that this “linear“ pattern CYCLICALLY repeats itself. The look on their faces. God, that's the teaching I miss. I even had them look at a linear clock; some kids actually flinched when the number changed. They felt calmer watching the analog clock seconds move. 3d

TheBookHippie @dabbe best part of teaching ♥️ although the you were alive when a man landed on the moon generally shocks 🤣 3d

TheBookHippie @dabbe I firmly believe the making them calm-love linear- by not knowing how to live in the unknown is what got us here. The drive for control to combat fear is wild. 3d

ElizaMarie @Dabbe - I never really thought about the way we see clocks now vs when I was growing up looking at clocks. It makes me yearn for that time and actually wear a “regular“ watch. 3d

ElizaMarie So, this might be a bit off topic, but with your statement of the “narrative we tell ourselves“. It's something I have been working with in therapy. The negative self-talk, the putting myself in a box of shoulds (mostly to frame a masculine ideal). I think back to the young child, sitting with my abuela, hearing her tell stories of her childhood, folk stories, just talking. I sometimes forget how much power I have in me. 3d

Chrissyreadit @ElizaMarie YES!!!! I am so glad you are learning to shift your narrative! 3d

GingerAntics I am SO sorry I‘ve been AWOL this week. I‘m hoping to catch up this week. Last week was just crazy and exhausting. 3d

dabbe @TheBookHippie So true! 😂🎯😂 2d

dabbe @TheBookHippie 🩵🎯🩵 2d

dabbe @ElizaMarie I actually will watch an analog clock once in a while; it really is calming to see that time moves ... it doesn't jerk from one number to another. That's also why I'm fascinated with hourglasses. 🤎⌛️🤎 2d

dabbe @ElizaMarie 🧡🩶💜 2d

dabbe @GingerAntics Hope this week is calmer for you! 🧡🩶💜 2d

TheBookHippie @dabbe my grandson thinks that‘s how we time things now since you sent me one 🤣😅♥️♥️♥️ 2d

ElizaMarie @dabbe ooo I have always found hour glasses especially beautiful :) digging through my jewelry box now to find an old watch :) 2d

dabbe @ElizaMarie 🧡💜🧡 2d

Chrissyreadit @GingerAntics take your time- jump in or out as you read. the posts are here. I live in chaos and will never judge. 2d

lil1inblue @ElizaMarie Yes! This is something I've also been working on in therapy. I think that we as women have had so many “shoulds“ imposed on us, that we lose sight of our own authenticity. 2d

kspenmoll I know I am late to join in & I have some current health issues to take care of, but IF I can, I would love to join in. Read this years & years ago, but my bet is I have learned much since then thru life experiences as we all do- even if I lag behind, It seems worth it. Where is everyone in chapters? 4h

Chrissyreadit @kspenmoll i am going to post discussion for chapter 1 by Sunday- join in in any way or time that feels good to you! 3h

Chrissyreadit @kspenmoll do you want me to add you to the tag list? 3h

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. 3d

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. 3d

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. 3d

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

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… 3d

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. 3d

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. 3d

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. 3d

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

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

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 ❤️ 3d

ElizaMarie @Chrissyreadit I have it tattooed on my back shoulder :) Ha! 2d

Cuilin I related too much with all the fears associated with “a disrupted relationship with the wildish force in the psyche” unfortunately. But at least I know what I need to work on. I loved the definition of wild as that which is natural and authentic. I‘m working on it! 3d

TheBookHippie I have I guess the opposite problem women hate me because I am wild. It reads as intimidating a lot. I had quite a feral childhood and summer camp in woods, I do not discount that for me being of the wild. (edited) 3d

TheBookHippie @Cuilin Fear is interesting. 3d

dabbe My mom was the wildest of women IMHO. She divorced my dad when NOBODY did that (I was the only kid in my 4th grade whose parents were divorced). She never remarried and taught us that we didn't need ANY man in order to live/succeed/be happy--it was all on US to create a meaningful life. I didn't have as rough a childhood as most people, and I know I got lucky with my mom. When she saw me turn into a pansy with my first husband ... ⬇️ 3d

dabbe (because that's how his parents behaved and it seemed the only way to “get along), she gave me a rough-talking to about not being my true self, basically asking me, “Where are you? What did you do with Denise?“ Over the years, I vacillate between those two Denises. I'm hoping to go full wild again after reading this book. I've already come out of my shell a wee bit here on Litsy. We'll see. 🤔 3d

Chrissyreadit @Cuilin It‘s challenging- i‘m not sure about your experience but so many woman are taught not to trust their wild side- because it threatens the status quo- then there is the fear of rejection- I‘m glad you are seeking your most genuine wild self 💛 3d

Chrissyreadit @dabbe wow! your mom sounds fearless and ferocious! Love that! 3d

Chrissyreadit I fear that my wild side was lost when i got married and had children. it‘s been a journey for sure. i know catholic guilt and community guilt had a lot to do with it. 3d

Chrissyreadit @TheBookHippie it‘s good to be fierce! 3d

TheBookHippie @dabbe I love your mom! 3d

TheBookHippie @Chrissyreadit keeps one alive. 3d

dabbe @TheBookHippie NOT this woman! You are one of the main people I attribute to getting me out of my shell. TBH, I would have never had the courage to fly alone to Canada, and worst yet, try to get through Customs back to my own country. I hadn't traveled sin 1998, and I was TERRIFIED. Then, I though of you and realized I needed to do this. Not for you. For me. You taught me that we have to feed ourselves first before we can be a help to others. 🖤 3d

dabbe @TheBookHippie She would have AD♥️RED you. 🖤🤍🩶 3d

dabbe @Chrissyreadit She was. A hard act to follow. 🖤🤍🩶 3d

TheBookHippie @dabbe I‘m so glad you did it it‘s so freeing and empowering. 😭😭😭😭 3d

TheBookHippie @dabbe ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ next realm maybe will meet up. 3d

TheBookHippie @Chrissyreadit the not to trust your instinct is so dangerous for women. 3d

dabbe @TheBookHippie Would love to. 🖤🤍🩶 3d

ElizaMarie @Dabbe - Your mother, wow! What a woman! Also, so proud of you! Flying to a different country on your own, dealing with the world as it is today, it's a lot, and you proved you have what it takes! 3d

ElizaMarie @Dabbe @ChrissyReadIt - I understand the duality of self. I, too, became a whole different person during my first marriage. The stuff I allowed into my life at that time - wow. Who was I? I remember my abuela telling me to toughen up. To leave. To grow. And I resisted because I was stuck in this “what should a good Catholic do“. I am so lucky to have survived the divorce (literally), and now with a man who -- I can honestly say, loves ⬇️ 3d

ElizaMarie and respects the rough edges of me. I hope this book (and more importantly this group of #BadAssWildWomen) help me to recover some of what I lost. (edited) 3d

ElizaMarie @TheBookHippie, I am constantly in awe of how amazing you are! And this is only through the post I read!? Women may be intimidated by you - but your kindness bridges that gap! 3d

ElizaMarie @Cuilin I thought the definition was perfect too! I am here to work on the “fear“ and growth with you! 3d

TheBookHippie @ElizaMarie I‘m so glad you‘re reading with us!! And thank you. ♥️ I hope you get back you. 3d

Chrissyreadit @ElizaMarie it‘s amazing at how much more powerful Catholic guilt was than catholic love. I stayed in a horrible dangerous marriage for the same reason. I‘m so glad you found someone to fully love all the parts of you ❤️ 3d

dabbe @Chrissyreadit @ElizaMarie My first husband was Jewish, so I had the pressure of becoming Jewish and not Christian. He wasn't physically abusive but was definitely verbally so. I so get the “go along to get along“ philosophy of survival, but I am so glad we're out of those marriages and on to being our true, wild selves. 🧡🩶💜 2d

Chrissyreadit @dabbe 😘😘😘 2d

lil1inblue I always felt like a bit of a feral child. I spent so much time outside and my imagination would go wild. But I was also sexually abused as a child. As that continued I feel like I lost that wild spirit. A lot of it was because of fear. A lot of it was gaslit out of me. It took a long time and a lot of healing for me to regain that wild and fierce spirit. It's still hard to hold onto sometimes, but I'm fortunate to have women around me to help! 2d

lil1inblue @Cuilin So much fear! I related to that a lot, as well. 💓 2d

Cuilin @dabbe @lil1inblue @Chrissyreadit @thebookhippie @ElizaMarie I think we‘re all going to get so much out of this book. I‘m in a safe space and couldn‘t be in a better group of women for this. Thank you all for such honest answers. You‘re all amazing. I need to be braver. 🩷 (edited) 2d

TheBookHippie @lil1inblue I‘m so so sorry. I am a survivor of severe mental, emotional, physical abuse and a victim of rape. I‘m always around if you need a safe space. social@bookhippie.com 2d

TheBookHippie @Cuilin ♥️ 2d

dabbe @lil1inblue OMG, I am soooo sorry for the young girl in you. I have no words except 🧡🩶💜. How strong and brave you are to have found a way THROUGH. I'm glad you have women around you to help, and we're here, too! #badwolfbitches unite! 2d

lil1inblue @thebookhippie @dabbe Thank you. That means a lot - more than I can express. I debated about whether to share, but I can't really explore my wild without acknowledging it. And this felt like a safe space. 💓💓💓 We are all indeed #badwolfbitches! 2d

TheBookHippie @lil1inblue ♥️ 2d

dabbe @lil1inblue You are COMPLETELY safe here. And thank you for sharing something so difficult. I think we're all not only going to learn a lot together, but we're going to grow together. #badwolfbitches! 💜🩶🧡 1d

Chrissyreadit @lil1inblue Sharing is bravery and trusting in safety! the identities we choose are part of our internal safety plan- here‘s to feeling safe enough to explore your wild!!!!! 😘💛💛💛 1d

lil1inblue @Chrissyreadit 💓💓💓 I love this group already. So excited to explore this together! Thank you for leading us! 1d

dabbe The calm woman in me doesn't want to brag, but the wild one will shout to the rooftops: the main literary course for my freshmen honors curriculum was teaching the archetypes: archetypal story patterns (Hero's Quest, Fall from Innocence ...), archetypal settings (forest vs. civilaztion, etc.), and archetypal characters (the damsel in distress, the hero, the sidekick, the villain) ... ⬇️ 3d

dabbe ... All forms of literature were then read/annotated/discussed in reference to these archetypes: myths, fables, folklore, fairy tales, poems, short stories, novels, the list goes on. Teaching them that these stories in our collective unconscious are BEGGING to be told over and over again was the highlight of my career. Teaching comparative literature is also what made this Christian an agnostic. Talk about being life-changing. 3d

Chrissyreadit @dabbe please please please feel free to jump in and add to these posts - you will definitely have some insights and connections i will want to hear and explore and learn from. 3d

dabbe @Chrissyreadit You know I'll probably be able to shout something! But you're our guide, m'dear. Fabulous and thought-provoking questions, too! You made me thing! On a hygge day! 😍 3d

dabbe I found notes I had kept from one of my freshmen groups as they were preparing to their exam over archetypes, motifs, and symbols. I was quite impressed with their work. If you'd like a look, here's the link:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QWzChLZ4ACAkIMSz8mFf8aKIV8TACXiN9lLcbIjp-_w/...

Not bad for 13-14-year olds! 3d

ElizaMarie @Dabbe and @ChrissyReadIt - I am truly lucky that I am in your more than capable hands while we navigate this book! I am excited to learn and grow with y'all.

I feel like I never really thought about archetypes. Like subconsiously, I know them when I see them, but I never really thought to think about it, explore it, frame conclusions based on them. 3d

Chrissyreadit @ElizaMarie ❤️ 3d

dabbe @ElizaMarie @Chrissyreadit It's so easy to just bury them in our struggle to get through our daily lives. Once our basic needs are met (food, water, shelter) ... then we want more and want to learn more about ourselves. That's where the archetypes come in. I am excited to explore this more in depth with all of you as well! 🧡💜🧡
2d

lil1inblue @dabbe I love all of this! I've always been drawn to myths/fables/oral traditions. I would have ADORED your class. I love seeing similar archetypes show up in different cultural folk tales and myths. 2d

dabbe @lil1inblue Aww, thank you. I put everything I had into that class, and I do miss teaching it. If you want to join us for this book, let @Chrissyreadit know. the intro was fabulous! 🧡💜💛 2d

lil1inblue @dabbe I'm all in, just a bit behind because I was waiting for my book to arrive. 🥰 2d

dabbe @lil1inblue Holy crap. You'd think I'd look at the actual list! 🤦🏼‍♀️ What an idiot am I! 😂😂😂 2d
