New Musing: Uncork your Wild Knowing...
"A healthy woman is much like a wolf...
...strong life force, life-giving, territorily aware, intuitive and loyal. Yet separation from her wildish nature causes a woman to become meager, anxious, and fearful. The wild nature carries the medicine for all things. She carries stories, dreams, words and songs. She caries everything a woman needs to be and know. She is the essence of the female soul... With the wild nature as ally and teacher, we see not through two eyes only, but through the many eyes of intuition. With intuition we are like the starrry night, we gaze at the world through a thousand eyes."
--Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Women Who Run With the Wolves

Wild knowing. You know what I am talking about... that deep dwelling voice that knows the mystery and magic of things. That stirs the pot and ignites the fire. That listens to the soft sounds of the air moving within the trees and the birds singing their luminous song. The voice of harmony. The voice of the Great Mother. The voice that knows the truth of who you are.
When we allow ourselves to break free of the social and cultural expectations of that are put on Women, we dive into the open range of freedom that comes with discovery and exploration of our WILDjuicy selves. That organic, primal, life-giving, creative essence that is at the very fiber of our being.
And yet when we disregard her, she gets pissed. When we ignore her, she gets loud. When we abandon her entirely she wreaks havoc in our lives crying out in attention. Stirring our fires to come back within. Whispering us not to forget through our boredom and longing.
Do you hear her?
Does she speak to you?
With love, passion and creativity...

P.S. A passionate welcome to all of our new subscribers!
