Join us as we discuss Clarissa Pinkola Estes' "Women Who Run with the Wolves," emphasizing its depth in Jungian psychology and storytelling. We explore the feminine perspective in myths, using Baba Yaga as an example of a reinterpreted heroine. The conversation delves into the historical and cultural significance of wildness and civilization, especially the differences in how Wild Men of myth are treated versus Wild Women. We discuss the societal pressures on women and men, the importance of transgressing social norms, and the psychological benefits of embracing one's wildness. The discussion also touches on the cultural diversity brought by Estes' Hispanic heritage.
