The Way of the Wild Soul Woman
Inner Traditions Bear and Company (Verlag)
979-8-88850-033-0 (ISBN)
Taking you on a Nature-based journey of transformation and rebirth, Mary Reynolds Thompson reveals how to unleash your full feminine power and discover authenticity, wholeness, creativity, and healing through initiation with ancient Earth Archetypes.
Providing a guided map for rewilding your soul, the author introduces the five archetypes of the Wild Soul Woman’s psyche—the untamed, unashamed, and unstoppable aspects of inner feminine power that many women have forgotten or disconnected from. You will undergo five powerful initiations, each centered on ancient Earth wisdom. You will learn from Desert Woman and her Barren Worlds how to let go of what no longer serves you, from Forest Woman and the Dark Womb how to seed new dreams and nurture them in your depths, and from Ocean and River Woman and her Breaking Waters how to ride the flow of your deepest longings. As Mountain Woman you will experience Giving Birth to a vision as you take a stand for your values, and from Grassland Woman you will learn how to support the Nurturing of the New that has emerged within.
Sharing rituals, exercises, meditations, and journal prompts to help you integrate these five initiatory stages, the author also explores each Earth Archetype’s Challenge (how to overcome a core wounding), the Shift (how the Archetype empowers you to reach for a fuller, more creative life), and the Way (how to embody its wisdom). She shows how, because both women and the Earth were wounded in similar ways across the ages, restoring your connection with Nature and the wisdom of feminine archetypes can help heal both your soul and the world around you.
Woven throughout with inspiring stories of women from around the world who embody these archetypal energies, as well as exquisite illustrations by Kathleen Brigidina, the book reveals how to awaken your inner feminine wisdom and true power. As you reclaim your voice and your visions, you become an unstoppable force of nature. You liberate your Wild Soul.
