    Chapter 15: Wild Woman Book Study: Ep.11 Season 2

    Chapter 15: Wild Woman Book Study: Ep.11 Season 2 In this episode we will be exploring: CHAPTER 15. Shadowing: Canto Hondo, The Deep Song -Recorded on the Harvest Blue Moon on Halloween night! -The Second to last Chapter of Women Who Run with the Wolves Topics/Themes: -“Shadowing means to have such a light touch, such a light tread, that One can move freely through the forest, observing without being observed. A wolf shadows anyone or anything that passes through her territory. It is her way of gathering information. It is the equivalent of manifesting and then becoming like smoke, and then manifesting again” -Know thy self. The external world is a representation of the internal world -Turning your weaknesses into strengths -Hindsight is 2020, Visions, Faith, allowing the story to unfold -Brain: brain stem, prefrontal cortex, Serotonin, Dopamine, Neurochemistry -Channeling- the subconscious equipment, Drawing from the Masters Book by Robbert Beverly Hale, Drawing Skills -Addiction and Art -Finding the labor that you enjoy: Vocation -Motivation and caffeine, Sugar as an antidepressant -Attitude -Healers, Seers, Visionary -Generational Trauma -“The wild feminine is not only sustainable in all worlds; it sustains all worlds” -“If there is to be change, we are it We carry La Que Sabe, the One Who Knows. If there is to be inner change, individual woman must do it. If there is to be world change, we women have our own way of helping to achieve it” -“Use your love and good instincts to know when to growl, to pounce, to take a swipe, when to kill, when to retreat, when to bay till dawn” -“She must shake out her pelt, strut the old pathways, assert her instinctual knowledge. We can all assert membership in the ancient scar clan, proudly bear the battle scars of our time, write our secrets on walls, refuse to be ashamed, lead the way through and out. Let us not overspend on anger. Instead let us be empowered by it. Most of all let us be cunning and use our feminine wits. Let us keep in mind that the best cannot and must not hide. Meditation, education, all the dream analysis, all the knowledge of God's green acre is of no value if one keeps it all to oneself or one’s chosen few. So come out, come out wherever you are. Leave deep footprints because you can. Be the old woman in the rocking chair who rocks the idea until it becomes young again” -GENERAL WOLF RULES FOR LIFE 1. Eat 2. Rest 3. Rove in between 4. Render loyalty 5. Love the children 6. Cavil in moonlight 7. Tune your ears 8. Attend to the bones 9. Make love 10. Howl often

It is about preserving the eros and mysterium of the wild nature”. The Sixth Stage - Realm of the Wild Woman - The queen staying at the inn for 7 years. The ages are not meant to be hierarchical, but simply belong to women’s consciousness and to the increase of their soul-lives.

A woman goes through this cycle once every seven years…”  “Once we have been through the cycle, we can choose any or all tasks to renew our lives at any time and for any reason. Here are some:  - to leave the old parents of the psyche, descend to the psychic land unknown, while depending on the goodwill of whomever we meet along the way  - to bind the wounds inflicted by the poor bargain we made somewhere in our lives  - to wander psychically hungry and trust nature to feed us  - to find the Wild Mother and her succor  - to make contact with the sheltering animus of the underworld  - to converse with the psychopomp (the magician)  - to behold the ancient orchards (energic forms) of the feminine  - to incubate and give birth to the spiritual childSelf  - to bear being misunderstood, to be severed again and again from love  - to be made sooty, muddy, dirty  - to stay in the realm of the woodspeople for seven years till the child is the age of reason  - to wait  - to regenerate the inner sight, inner knowing, inner healing of the hands  - to continue onward even though one has lost all, save the spiritual child  - to re-trace and grasp her childhood, girlhood, and womanhood  - to re-form her animus as a wild and native force; to love him; and he, her  - to consummate the wild marriage in the presences of the old Wild Mother and the new child Self” “The Handless Maiden” is a real-life story about us as real women.
