" The wild and instinctual nature means "to establish territory, to find one's pack, to be in one's body with certainty and pride regardless of the body's gifts and limitations, to speak and act in one's behalf, to be aware, alert, to draw on the innate feminine powers of intuition and sensing, to come into one's cycles, to find what one belongs to, to rise with dignity, to retain as much consciousness as we can."
"the Dangerous Wild Woman - a woman who has found the wild nature, runs with the inner wolves, has a soul life, is creative, intuitive - all the aspects of the wild nature Estes wrote about in WWRWTW.. As we pass the age of 50, life changes anyway. But now this movement into the second half of life carries a wild flavor to it.
I believe it is a different archetype from the Wild Woman or the Crone. It carries that element of Danger that is reflected in cultural stories where old women are depicted as frightening because of their wisdom and power."
The mind has died in it’s own life. A battered broken falling down .crashing over options never thought about. A rage that lasts, like the breath in the mouth of the beast. Yes the rage lasts, darkening within it’s own borders til the end of everything. MB
