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

What can I say, this book was amazing! I’m convinced that any negative reviews are from people who just didn’t get it and the material didn’t click with them. If you have not read any spiritual books this book will sound very whimsical or woo woo to you. I find that it has many ideas that have been introduced to me through other spiritual material and that’s why I believe I resonated with the ideas. But if this is new to you, possibly read it a little at a time like the author mentions in the afterword. I love the format of the fairy or folk tale and then the analysis of it, the author breaks down symbols like no other author I’ve read, and uses the most beautiful lyrical language I’ve ever read. This is a book that you definitely take your time to read! I read it in about 3 weeks with many annotations but I definitely recommend stretching it out over months. It can be at times repetitive but I’m convinced that this is because the author is really emphasizing information that goes against the stubborn way women have been taught to think and live in society. This book helped me in realizing the importance of my wild nature, my voice, my boundaries, my creativity, so much more. There are many many things I could talk about when it comes to this book, I would be here all night. Read it!!!

I was a bit off by the title but this book is worth the read. It introduces you to a new perspective I’m pleased I wish I had read it sooner.

An excellent book to see inside ones own self. This is one of my favourite books of all time. I often refer back to it whenever I feel unsure of myself and surprisingly, it always has the answers. It beautifully strikes a realistic balance of society and self-awareness. A must read for women seeking more self awareness or for anyone who is going through a difficult time. What I particularly love is how the author never sounds preachy, but provokes the reader to draw their own meaning and draw their own wisdom - and she does so brilliantly and in a unique way. Game-changing piece of literature

Took me a while to get through. But good.

Incredibly inspiring, read this with my mom as a kid
