I don't know who *first coined the WildWoman
archetype but I knew it well, long before I ever heard it called that.
Growing up on a farm in a strong energy vortex was a natural
background to express WildWoman even if I didn't know what it was
called. I could catch glimpses of the WildWoman listening to Mama
and her friends while they shelled peas, sewed or baked bread. I
sensed what they didn't
speak...in a code-like verbal shorthand they used I sensed in these
Depression era survivors the WildWoman strength and passion that would
be the jet stream for me along with my own intuitive inner radar. It
tapped a take no prisoners attitude that served me well. My
WildWoman within loves her man, red leather stilettos, thunderstorms,
the tinkle of bells and this beautiful blue planet. While she has the
strength to cry she can bite when needed so beware, this crone has a
warrior within. From a Source position the WildWoman paradigm is our own creation but once enlivened operates independently so use this archetype responsibly.
*Please note "WildWoman" is an archetype not a wildchild!
