Indlæser... Kvinder som løber med ulve : myter og fortællinger om… (1992)af Clarissa Pinkola Estés
![]() Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog. Very interesting but perhaps best taken in small doses. A good fountain of ideas to use in thinking about your own life. ( ![]() I read Women Who Run With the Wolves for the first time when I was in my early 20's. I highlighted and annotated it to within an inch of its life; so much that I had to buy another copy. Somehow, I forgot all that I had learned during that first reading while the new fresh copy of the book sat gathering dust on my bookshelf. While the book remained immensely helpful to me this second time around, from the perspective of my late 30's self, there was quite a bit of 90's pseudo-folk wisdom nonsense that seemed more like stereotyping of immigrant cultures than beneficial psychology. $800 mxn Not really what I expected; I originally slotted it into my "to read" Because I thought there would be a focus on women in myth/folktale in general. It's a little too...head-in-the-clouds for me. Rajongok érte, mert annyi gondolat van benne, ami egy egész életre elég, sőt még jut belőle bőven ahhoz is, hogy továbbadjam, sőt, ez a lényeg… Mintha saját magamat olvastam volna ki a lapok közül, azt a történetet, amit évtizedeken keresztül nem sikerült megértenem, vagy nem egészen pontosan és azt is, ami most zajlik és ami a többinél sokkal fontosabb és gyönyörűbb élmény. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
"Within every woman there is a wild and natural creature, a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing. Her name is Wild Woman, but she is an endangered species. Though the gifts of wildish nature come to us at birth, society's attempt to "civilize" us into rigid roles has plundered this treasure, and muffled the deep, life-giving messages of our own souls. Without Wild Woman, we become over-domesticated, fearful, uncreative, trapped." "Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D., Jungian analyst and cantadora storyteller, shows how woman's vitality can be restored through what she calls "psychic archeological digs" into the bins of the female unconscious. In Women Who Run with the Wolves, Dr. Estes uses multicultural myths, fairy tales, folk tales, and stories chosen from over twenty years of research that help women reconnect with the healthy, instinctual, visionary attributes of the Wild Woman archetype." "Dr. Estes collects the bones of many stories, looking for the archetypal motifs that set a woman's inner life into motion. "La Loba" teaches about the transformative function of the psyche. In "Bluebeard", we learn what to do with wounds that will not heal; in "Skeleton Woman", we glimpse the mystical power of relationship and how dead feelings can be revived; "Vasalisa the Wise" brings our lost womanly instincts to the surface again; "The Handless Maiden" recovers the Wild Woman initiation rites; and "The Little Match Girl" warns against the insidious dangers of a life spent in fantasy." "In these and other stories, we focus on the many qualities of Wild Woman. We retrieve, examine, love, and understand her, and hold her against our deep psyches as one who is both magic and medicine." "In Women Who Run with the Wolves, Dr. Estes has created a new lexicon for describing the female psyche. Fertile and lifegiving, it is a psychology of women in the truest sense, a knowing of the soul."--BOOK JACKET. No library descriptions found. |
