Women Who Run With the Wolves — Clarissa Pinkola Estes

Most Western people simply have no clue what the divine feminine actually looks like. First thing: like nature it’s Wild.

You will need to access this knowing from North American subcultures: Indigenous, Persian, Latino, and Black cultures to name a few. Women Who Run With the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype is an excellent place to start. Estes pulls from Hispanic/Indigenous roots and uses story to unlock these archetypal patterns.

(Please note, the divine feminine is circular, story, wild, raw, and powerful — think Kali. Myth and story is the best way to teach it, similar to the best way to teach the divine masculine is with the Astronaut 10 Commandments or Rudyard Kipling’s poem ‘If’.)
