<blockquote><blockquote>
Singing Over the Bones...

The archetype of Wild Woman resides in the guts, not in the head. She can track and run and summon and repel. She can sense, camouflage, and love deeply. She is intuitive, typical, and normative. She is utterly essential to women's mental and soul health.

She is the female soul. Yet she is more; she is the source of the feminine. She is all that is of instinct, of the worlds both seen and hidden -she is the basis.

She is intuition, she is far-seer, she is deep listener, she is loyal heart. She encourages humans to remain multilingual; fluent in the languages of dreams, passion, and poetry.

She is the voice that says, "This way, this way."

She is the one who thunders after injustice. She is the one we leave home to look for. She is the one we come home to. She is the things that keep us going when we think that we're done for.</blockquote>

Clarissa Pinkola Estes was Jungian trained -- I have repeatedly found it was the Jungians and transpersonal psychologists who had the most insights for me. I'm glad to know that you've enjoyed her work as well.

The quote I included above can be found on this page, along with a whole lot more from the wisdom of Clarissa Pinkola Estes: Women Who Run With The Wolves</blockquote>
