Women Who Run with the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype
Women Who Run with the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype | Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Within every woman there is a wild and natural creature, a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing. Her name is Wild Woman, but she is an endangered species. 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. Without Wild Woman, we become over-domesticated, fearful, uncreative, trapped. 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 bins of the female unconscious. In Women Who Run with the Wolves, Dr. 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. Dr. Estes collects the bones of many stories, looking for the archetypal motifs that set a woman's inner life into motion. "La Loba" teaches about the transformative function of the psyche. In "Bluebeard," we learn what to do with wounds that will not heal; in "Skeleton Woman," we glimpse the mystical power of relationship and how dead feelings can be revived; "Vasalisa the Wise" brings our lost womanly instincts to the surface again; "The Handless Maiden" recovers the Wild Woman initiation rites; and "The Little Match Girl" warns against the insidious dangers of a life spent in fantasy. In these and other stories, we focus on the many qualities of Wild Woman. We retrieve, examine, love, and understand her, and hold her against our deep psyches as one whois both magic and medicine. In Women Who Run with the Wolves, Dr. Estes has created a new lexicon for describing the female psyche. Fertile and lifegiving, it is a psychology of women in the truest sense, a knowing of the soul.

I'm going to do this from a different perspective... Louisa May Alcott for rocking my childhood with Jo March; Jane Austen for inspiring me with Elizabeth Bennett in my 20s; Virginia Woolf for blowing my mind with A room of ones own in my 30s; George Sand for writing wonderful women and advocating for women's rights; Margaret Atwood for scaring me with her very real dystopian society into never stop fighting; Ursula Le Guin for showing me ⬇️

nanuska_153 that women write the best fantasy; Gloria Steinem and Remi Eddo-Lodge for teaching me intersectional feminism, Jameela Jamil for her irreverent unapologetic feminism that makes me laugh...But also every woman that has ever spoken up when sexually assaulted, specially all those who had to face a society that scrutinized, blamed and insulted them. They are all my heroes and I stand on your shoulders. 4d

And so our journey begins! Feel free to comment here and on your own page and on each others pages as we begin this community of Wild Women reading. Over the next week consider posting about A particular segment you read and why it spoke to you. I am tagging everyone who requested so far- please tag the group in your posts so we can all participate- and feel free to add more on storygraph! This week is all about the intro!

Chrissyreadit A couple out of many lines that spoke to me : “Fear to set out ones imperfect work before it is an opus”- I have so much fear that has held me back professionally! 4d
Chrissyreadit I love Jungian archetypes. I love how vital it is that the stories we tell ourselves serve so many purposes and how we use them is vital to how we see ourselves in our own stories! I hope that I can learn more about how to use stories and my own story to grow and learn and experience 💛I can‘t wait to hear more of everyone‘s thoughts after reading each section. 4d
ElizaMarie I am almost done with the intro (and at work now so I don‘t have a direct quote but —) language is so powerful. The stories we tell ourselves, the labels we give ourselves matter so much- I know you, as a clinician, know how person first language has been proven invaluable. 3d

GingerAntics So like yesterday to Saturday is intro, and then first chapter next week? Sorry, my brain is still a bit foggy and I want to make sure I catch up properly. 3d
Chrissyreadit @GingerAntics this week to read intro- i‘m trying out posting thoughts/questions to use to reflect as you read or answer after - next sunday i will consider day one of part one- so this week is just about reading and reflecting on intro. 3d
GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit I haven‘t started yet, so I don‘t necessarily know what that means, but I‘m just going with the flow! Intro it is. You got it! 3d

I know to some, it's almost sacrilegious to write in a book. But, oh how I love annotating a book, and I haven't done that since my days of teaching. It's only page 1, but we'll see how much more I'll write.

First book I have marked
since teaching literature.
Now, I'm the student.

JenlovesJT47 It goes against my OCD to write in books unless they‘re workbooks. Perhaps I should try it and live a little dangerously! 😅 4d
AnnCrystal I never liked doing this until recently. I read an article about an old book found with handwritten notes, and another article about finding review notes in a book left in a Little Free Library.

It made me reconsider, and now I absolutely love the idea of notes being written in books. It's like your connecting with the story, or sharing a notion with a future reader.

🐝👏🏼🤩👌🏼📚✍️🐝💝.

ElizaMarie Please add me to your tag list for this book - also- I‘m so excited to read this with y‘all! 4d
dabbe @ElizaMarie That could have been me! 🤪 I cut and pasted members from two different groups! Is she on the main list, @Chrissyreadit? 4d
Chrissyreadit @dabbe it was my mistake I am almost positive I went to add @ElizaMarie and was distracted- but now she is on all my posts! And i hope she forgives me 😣 4d
marleed I picked up an old mass market paperback of Frankenstein from an LFL and it was filled with annotations. I loved it. I also had a thrifted B&N hardback which was my primary source of reading because my eyes aren‘t fit for yellowed pages of an old mm paperback - but I referenced the annotations in the pb while reading the hb! 4d
ElizaMarie @Chrissyreadit no reason to forgive! I appreciate all your hard work on this group! 3d
ElizaMarie @Cuilin I love to read others thoughts as well! (Probably why I love this community so much) - also it‘s sometimes insightful to go back and see what I thought during a first read and how much I‘ve grown since then. 3d
Cuilin @ElizaMarie I love seeing others annotations in second hand books. I love all types of book chatter. 3d

lil1inblue I love annotating my books! My grandfather passed when I was young, but I was able to get to know him by the annotations he left in his books. 💓 3d
dabbe @lil1inblue This just brought me chills. 💛💜🧡 3d
Chrissyreadit @lil1inblue that is beautiful and a gift! 3d
Chrissyreadit This is my first time annotating a book outside of college- and in theory lmpbc- but i was terrible at annotating those! 3d
dabbe @Chrissyreadit I would be beyond terrible--especially since I have no idea what they are! 😂 3d
Chrissyreadit @dabbe litsy mark up postal book club- groups of 4 and you annotated as you read so that when you got your book back you had everyone‘s notes of what they thought as they read the book. 3d
dabbe @Chrissyreadit Now that you mention this, I dimly remember seeing this on Litsy. Is it not being done anymore? Too much work? It sounds like a fabulous idea. 3d
Chrissyreadit it was fabulous! and ran strong for about 7 years- that‘s 21 or so rounds! then people stopped signing up for it so suvata ended it. i bet it could be revived in some form. it was an endeavor- there were usually 26 or so groups of 4. 3d
dabbe @Chrissyreadit Hmmm. 🤔 3d
lil1inblue @Chrissyreadit I love that (lmpbc)! My mom and I do that together, and it's so interesting! 2d
Chrissyreadit @dabbe @lil1inblue I think some of the groups continue on their own. the way it worked was that 4 people agreed on a theme or genre- then shared choices of books then everyone voted for the book they were most interested in (for example i would pick 4 fantasies off my shelf and see if anyone had read them- those are removed from choice, then based on a book with most interest and each person did same. it was fun! 2d

@GingerAntics @nanuska_153 my copy is on the right, and a hardcover I just finished on the left. 😬

GingerAntics Oof, so little space between the lines. That is uncomfortable. I hate when they do that. Things start bleeding together then and it is exhausting. 5d
Chrissyreadit Oh no!!! is there a way to get a used hardcover copy? or higher magnification reading glasses? that small print looks awful! 5d
ravenlee @Chrissyreadit I had forgotten how bad my copy was. I mean, also, my eyes have NOT improved in the intervening years! I think I can start with this and look for a replacement in the meantime. I had to give up on The House of the Seven Gables a few years ago and get a library copy for the same reason. I should have read my bargain copies when I was young (and when I bought them). 5d

I found my copy! Now to see if my eyes are up to the tiny print, which is what made me give up my last try. However, I am fully bifocaled now and ready to try again! 😆🤓
My women-standing-on-shoulders vision is less matrilineal (my mother is a force, for sure, but her mother was a piece of work) and more in the tradition of wise women, elders, “aunties,” and such, all passing down lore and love. May we all become them!

Cuilin Fabulous. This reminded me of the quote ”Here‘s to strong women. May we know them, may we be them, may we raise them.” 🩷 5d

GingerAntics Thanks for the heads up… I may have to pull out my bifocals. I actually hate them because I can never figure out how to tile my head, but if the print is small… 5d
nanuska_153 The tiny print also made me give up last time. Is this what getting old looks like? 🫣 5d
ravenlee @GingerAntics @nanuska_153 mine is a mass market, found at a charity book sale for a whole dollar. If I can‘t read it this time through, I‘ll have to splurge on a trade paperback copy! 😆 But also, yes, this is what getting old (especially as a reader) looks like. 5d
GingerAntics @ravenlee oh yeah, now that I look at your hand in relation to the book, yours in much smaller than mine. Still should probably give the bifocals a chance. (Apparently my phone thinks bifocals are bigots, so that‘s probably not helping either. lol) 5d
lil1inblue 🙌 🙌 🙌 I'm so bummed - I thought my copy would arrive tomorrow, but for some reason the shipping is delayed and it's estimated to come on Saturday! 😭 3d

The posts that everyone has shared have been just lovely. Thank you all, and what a lovely group to be part of. Which, btw, do we have a name? Are we the #womenwhorunwithwolves? Or just #womenrunningwithwolves? Or something?

For me, all enjoyment of life goes back to the arts. Everything we work for, strive for, fight for, is all expressed in creative ways. This made me think of the 9 Muses in Greek mythology, the sources of inspiration--women.

I used this collage, maybe last year, for some challenge on Litsy. It‘s what sprang to mind reading the quote
“I saw that she stood on the shoulders of a woman far older than she, who stood on the shoulders of a woman even older, who stood on the shoulders ….”

The b & w pics are the women who have raised us up, my grandmother(right) and stepmom who are intrinsic to who I am and some young women today who I want to support on my shoulders.

When I think of women and reflect on this quote, I think about my abuela, mother, and Madrina. How they showered me with love. My abuela, always having fresh tortillas, my mother, keeping me intellectually stimulated, and my Madrina, telling me how much I matter in this world. These women shaped me and guided me. Women were kind, nurturing, strong, powerful, beautiful.

Before we were Mortals by Michelle Kingdom

This one speaks to me in 2 ways:
1. Community is so important, especially community with other women (and women, of course, includes our trans sisters, just so we're clear)
2. It's fiber art, which has often been relegated to the realm of "crafts," because it has traditionally been a female art form.

As we begin exploring this book together - I am considering how the image of “women” has been portrayed and changed over my life so far. Would you consider sharing a post with this quote and image of women that speaks to you? This is an image by Kiki Suarez- it has been a favorite of mine since college and is called “Many Strong and Beautiful Women”

Chrissyreadit I will check back in with goal of 1 section a week- starting this Sunday. Jump in wherever you are though. I will post about Chapter 1 beginning next Sunday, to give everyone a chance to get the book and read the intro and settle in. I‘m so excited to do this together ❤️ 1w

CPE states “I‘ll tell you right now, the doors to the world of Wild Women are few but precious…. If you have a scar…if you have an old, old story…if you love the water and sky so much…. If you yearn for a deeper..full…sane life… that is a door” What answers, understandings, affirmations do you seek in the books and stories you read?

Chrissyreadit I read a LOT of fantasy! where women have power, respect, opportunity… 1w
lil1inblue I love books and stories that don't necessarily provide answers, but that provoke thought. Things that ask questions. I also like reading about experiences outside my own. 1w

ImperfectCJ I'm not sure if I ask much from my books in terms of showing me a specifically woman-oriented viewpoint, but I gravitate towards stories that portray complex and nuanced characters, especially those that are realistic (i.e., flawed, neither all good nor all evil). I've been disappointed in a lot of fantasy as even in space or made-up worlds, the same gender stereotypes usually apply. I'd be interested in recs for books that break this. 1w
TheBookHippie @ImperfectCJ have you read any Chloe Gong? 7d
ImperfectCJ @TheBookHippie I haven't. It looks like she has a few series...which would you recommend? The newest (Coldwire) looks most appealing by its description, but is maybe more sci-fi than fantasy? 7d
TheBookHippie @ImperfectCJ https://thechloegong.com/secretshanghai/ I would do this one. It always feels it takes a bit but then you‘re in. I adored these so much all of them. 4d
TheBookHippie @ImperfectCJ I think you‘re right about Coldwire but feel free to join us to find out we‘re reading it together in January. If you look at our hashtag maybe you can get a feel #CHLOEGONGREADALONG we read the first book of hers for #SUNDAYBUDDYREAD and then went to a different group to just read all her books. I hope that makes sense. 4d
ImperfectCJ @TheBookHippie I might join y'all for the Coldwire readalong (if I'm not overwhelming myself with too many buddy reads already...), but I'm still a little uncertain about the Secret Shanghai series...it's described as romantic fantasy, and I didn't like ACOTAR, so I'm pretty leery of romantic fantasy. 4d
TheBookHippie @ImperfectCJ I don‘t read romance as a rule 🤣 fantasy rarely. It really is off my normal reading. 😊😅 I didn‘t even try ACOTAR because no. 🤣🫣 4d

Earlier this year I listened to the author‘s 2 hour abridged presentation of this book but I had to own an unabridged copy. I am only 16 pages in but feel confident in saying every woman should own, read and gift this book. I‘m soaking up every word. It‘s just what I needed on the tail end of a year and a half depression. I know I will be gifting this to both my daughters.

#ItTakesAllKinds

Today‘s #SomeoneRunning prompt made me think of this book which I read while taking a women‘s studies course back in the 90s. I keep meaning to reread it. My thoughts about it were probably triggered by recently finishing Once There Were Wolves.🐺🏃🏻‍♀️🐺🩶

Eggs Well done 🏃🏼‍♀️ 🐺 🏃 1y

@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Adore this book that champions the female psyche and feminine power.

Also Wuthering Heights had a huge impact on me as a teenager. We need to talk about Kevin is an influential, disturbing novel that explores the nature/nurture debate with devestating consequences.

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Thank you for playing 🙌🏻📚 3y

A strange, very enlightening book. It's funny to some some stories super revealing and some others a complete bore. It is interesting to see which stories resonate with you, and why.

@Chrissyreadit look what just arrived today!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! To see it in person, I understand what you were saying about it being a longer book. It‘s not that thick per say, but the book itself is big!!! I think this is going to take us a while to get through. @TheBookHippie

Chrissyreadit 😘❄️❄️❄️❄️ 4y
TheBookHippie I like the slow burn … 4y
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie I do to. It lets you spend more time with good books. 4y

ravenlee I started this one years ago and found it really interesting, but it‘s dense (I mean, there‘s a lot of it but the writing is dense, too). I really need to finish it. 4y
GingerAntics @ravenlee would you like to join us? Perhaps you can help us with pacing since you‘ve read some of it already. 4y
ravenlee Ooh, that sounds good! You know I‘ll read anything with all y‘all! 4y
GingerAntics @ravenlee 😂🤣😂 4y
kspenmoll I read this so long so i wonder if I remember anything! 4y
GingerAntics @kspenmoll would you like to join us as well?! lol 4y
kspenmoll @GingerAntics I might try- want to see what other buddy reads I have singed on to!!!! 4y
GingerAntics @kspenmoll that makes sense 4y
kspenmoll Yes! Waiting for hold from the library 4y
GingerAntics @kspenmoll it‘s a heavy sucker!!! 4y

#readmyroom #22booksin22

In 2022, I‘m going to challenge myself to read books I own. @AkashaVampie created the #readmyroom challenge which I‘m combining with my #22booksin22 challenge. The free spaces must be books I own as well, but I wanted to give myself room for mood reading. Please feel free to join along. Tag me in your lists and reading your owned books. If you want to be tagged in my updates, let me know.

AkashaVampie @LitsyEvents check out this other challenge for next yr. 4y
Bookworm54 Sounds good! 4y
Texreader I‘d love to give this a try! 4y

jb72 @Bookworm54 Maybe it‘ll get some of the books I own actually read! If you make a list, make sure you tag me. 4y
jb72 @Texreader Awesome! I can‘t wait to see your list! 4y
ElizaMarie Great list! (of course, I want to be tagged). I was thinking of doing the same, but... not sure if I have an official list yet. But maybe just try to do 22 books I own. It's a bit rough to plan so well. Anyway... please keep taking me! 4y
jb72 @ElizaMarie I know you‘ve said we could buddy read PS. Would you still like to do that? Maybe around March? 4y
ElizaMarie @jb72 sounds great! 4y
jb72 @ElizaMarie So we should discuss Pet Semetary. I ended up really enjoying the book. And it was one of his better endings. Have you seen both movies? 3y
ElizaMarie @jb72 omg it‘s my favorite of the Stephen King Books!!!! And yeah I saw both movies they are great! 3y

Oh my God! This book is filled with symbolism and philosophical adventures.
I read this one slowly.
Took my time with it because each fairytale, folk, and story, sent me into a state of reflection and contemplation.
I truly believe as a woman or a human,
I have elevated from this book.

My talented friend Lia did this artwork of The Skelton Women from the book. I love that story. If you go to the link you can also see a funny cartoon as well about The Ugly Duckling. https://www.bookinterrupted.com/post/women-who-run-with-the-wolves-artwork.

Found these 3 in a little free library recently!
My friend has been talking about Women Who Run with the Wolves! So excited I have an opportunity to read it also.

Any thoughts on the other 2 books?

gossamerchild I enjoyed the Alice Hoffman. It's been a while, but I do remember liking it. 4y
Curiouser_and_curiouser @gossamerchild oh cool! Thanks. I haven't read anything of hers yet. Looking forward to it :) 4y

I loved this book! It‘s just what I needed at that moment in my life. I was a stay at home mom and my youngest was just about the start school. This book helped ignite my creativity and lead me to start the podcast Book Interrupted. Now I‘m doing what I love, discussing books and connecting with others around the world. Thank you Women Who Run with the Wolves! www.bookinterrupted.com

An Irredeemable Monster and the Power of Dirt by @Meredith.K In this segment of “down the rabbit hole”. A great article about nature and our human interaction with it. This blog post was inspired by reading Women Who Run with the Wolves on the Podcast Book Interrupted.

Thanks for the tag @RaeLovesToRead and @Milara 😃

❤ A book I love - It Didn't Start With You
👍 A book I love to recommend - Women Who Run With the Wolves
👎A book I didn't like - The Art of Frugality
💍 A character you'd like to marry - Sensei from Strange Weather in Tokyo
🤞 A book you pinky promise to read soon - How to Run a Government

IuliaC @Milara Si eu, mi-am propus sa fac inconjurul lumii prin intermediul autorilor, de preferat chiar locali. Cu literatura asiatica depinde foarte mult si de gust, eu am fost inclinata catre beletristica. Autori japonezi am citit din cei care sunt foarte vizibili (Murakami, Kawakami etc), dar si Mo Yan (China), Khaled Hosseini, ceva din India si Iran, recent am descoperit-o pe Bae Suah din Coreea, dar inca n-am ajuns la Asia de Sud-Est 5y

Crazeedi Read this years ago during my searching phase... 5y
SarahBookInterrupted I love it, but what I‘ve learned from the book club and other research is that it‘s not for everyone. It invokes strong opinions for sure. 5y
