Women Who Run with the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype

Translated into more than twenty-five languages, Clarissa Estes' book has held one of the top positions in the world book rankings for several years.

This book about the female archetype is actually universal. Replace the concept of "Original Woman" with "Original Man" - and you will see that the benefit this book brings to your soul has no gender affiliation.

Inside every woman lives a primal, natural being, full of good instincts, compassionate creativity, and eternal wisdom. But this being - the Wild Woman - is on the verge of extinction. The "civilizing" influence of society, unfortunately, suppresses all that is "wild," meaning natural, in a child.

Clarissa Estes, who has been practicing and teaching Jungian psychoanalysis for over twenty years and exploring the myths of different cultures, shows how the original Spirit of Woman can be revived through "psychoarchaeological excavations" in the realm of the female unconscious. The healthy, instinctual, clairvoyant, healing archetypal Wild Woman lives a full-blooded life in ancient myths and fairy tales. But she can re-emerge in the soul of every woman in the modern world.
