Women Who Run With the Wolves

The Inner Authority Method is helping women build off of All of these eight archetypes that I've constructed and built inside of herself.

So normally, and this dawned on me a couple years ago, it's like the fact that one of the best selling books ever for women was Women Who Run With Wolves, right? By Clarissa Pinkola Estes.

Okay.

It's a book based on goddesses and mythology and deity, right? All these different deities.

He's a physicist.

Um, he wrote some really interesting books, and he was very interested in the fifth, fifth dimen- dimension and fifth dimensional thinking.

Oh, yeah.

And I used to talk to him on the phone because I found him completely fascinating.

It's a doorway, right? if you're called pass through it and see where it leads and if you're not you can pass by it but really flip the script i'm not talking about victoria's secret wings and walking down the runway i'm talking about kalima take your identity what do you want what do you want now in this phase of your life and go for it that's kind of the goddess realm in my mind i love the crown

Anybody else love the chrome? So it's one that I first became enchanted with in college by a beautiful book called Women Who Run With the Wolves.

Yeah? And she just opened my eyes to just this other version of femininity.

And it's a little scary, and it's a little dark.

So looping that back to consciousness, are you more than just a body? Yeah.

What else is there if it's not your body? So the crone for me is owning the power of the mysterious at that space.

The book Trish is talking about is Women Who Run With the Wolves by the Jungian analyst Clarissa Pinkola Estes.

Published in 1992, it spent 145 weeks on the New York Times bestsellers list, a record at the time.

And I think that truth that you put into these pages, it is so authentic, it jumps off the page over and over and over again, which is what makes your Burning Woman invocation so potent.

Because it's not coming from a place of... perfection of some idealized stylized goddess um but from a woman who is flesh and blood who is bumbling through and stumbling through season to season diaper to diaper meal to meal um and i can relate to that so the power inside of that has has been very bolstering in my own my own um life my own soul this book it's a gift like women who run with the wolves is a gift it's right they sit right next to each other they're bibles thank

you thank you people do quote the two of them side by side quite often and that i just can't tell you what it is to like have written something that people find that helpful that

that's inspiring it is it's inspiring and I know it's probably really it's mad because you're neurodivergent I'm neuro spicy as fuck as well and that feeling that feeling of like oh my god I'm putting myself out there I'm gonna try and then all of a sudden the anxiety and the waves just hit you and you're like oh hell no and you're doing it on a scale that scares the shit out of me like I I wouldn't I couldn't dream of it but I do and then I'm like I don't have the audacity but your book like I've come to it in stages over a course of 10 years and now this pre-order arrived this Beltane and I was like what are you doing what are you doing what is with the timing here Lucy that's amazing because I've gone through such huge tumultuous times but it's been about discovering the burning woman inside of me

oh sorry i i misunderstood uh yeah so i i I feel like I need to back up and explain a few things here.

If you've listened to us before, you've heard us talk about Women Who Run With the Wolves, which is by Clarissa Piccoli Estes.

And we're big fans.

We love that.

And

so Dr. Clarissa Pickle Esteson, sort of that seminal book, Women Who Run With the Wolves, she talks about there are these four doors that we might take into our life as a wild woman.

And so we want to know which of these doors resonates with you, maybe which door you went through to become your more natural, makeup-free, wild, Western-living mountain woman.

So if you

Hi there and welcome to this pick a card Today, we're going to be connecting with your future self and seeing if they have any messages, guidance or advice for you I was inspired by quite a lot of TikToks I saw recently on the quantum theory that essentially your future self exists in the way you envision them and they're already living the life that you're desiring which is why you desire it It's just happening further down your timeline and so it's another way of saying what you're seeking is also seeking you You are meant to match up with your desires because that is literally your future reality which is why you desire it and that really speaks to me I feel like I've had many times in the past where I just kind of knew that certain things would happen the way they are currently unfolding My hope is that these readings today give you that sense of conviction as well or remind you of why you feel so strongly towards certain visions and goals of yours I'm also very excited to be partnering with Audible for this video so I thought that today, instead of just the crystals, you can also have Audible titles to choose from So I have handpicked three audiobooks that really connect with me, two of which I've completed One I'm still working on and we're going to be looking at them later after the meditation to choose your reading today Soften your eyebrows and soften your gaze Gently part the lips and release your jaw Allow your entire face to melt and soften Lower the shoulders too and just arrive in your body Arrive in this moment Drop your awareness down down down into your heart space Feel into the center of your chest to listen for intuition and emotional resonance Listen to the readings today with your heart space and be sure to only take the messages that elicit a feeling of peace of lightness and of clarity Now if you're ready, you can open your eyes to look at the 3 groups before you For group 1, I have selected The Autobiography of a Yogi by Parahamsa Yogananda This is a pretty popular read by spiritual seekers and those who practice yoga I really enjoyed listening to this on my walks and it brought me a lot of calm and curiosity and inspiration as well to continue on my spiritual path Along with this, we also have the clear quartz crystal to help you choose For group 2, we have Woman Who Run With the Wolves by Clarissa Estes She is a Jungian analyst and in this audiobook which she narrates herself She brings these Jungian archetypes to life through her storytelling and it is so well done I was actually recommended to listen to the audiobook instead of reading the actual book because of how excellently she narrates and I would highly recommend this if you resonate with the female experience if you're wanting to understand feminine archetypes and just wanting empowerment in that area of your life I listened to this audiobook as I was going through a breakup and it was so healing To help you choose, group 2 also has smoky quartz For group 3, we have The Myth of Normal by Gabor Mate and Daniel Mate Gabor Mate is a leading voice in the field of somatic psychology In this audiobook, he talks about how we live in a toxic culture which isn't conducive to human health and it is the reason why mental illness and chronic diseases are on a rise at the moment and it just breaks down a lot of the things that we've come to normalize in modern medicine which is so awakening as you listen to it and I'm still working on this title but I'm already so amazed by the amount of research that he's put into this so I'd also really recommend that you listen to this with me and to help you choose, group 3 also has pineapple calcite Now I invite you to soften your gaze and just notice which audiobook cover stands out to you which crystal stands out to you As you listen to me describe these titles Which had a bigger impact on you? You don't have to feel called to actually listen to these audiobooks but maybe the title connects with you in a special way or maybe a particular word in one of the titles connects with you in a particular way It doesn't actually have to be the entire audiobook or how I described it If all else fails, you can focus on the crystals and the crystals only Once you've chosen your groove, you can go down to the timestamps below to click on your reading and I'll see you over there If you chose group 1, clear chords or the autobiography of a yogi then this is your reading Hi group 1 Apologies for the sudden shift in lighting I'm actually filming this reading on a different day I couldn't get around to it the other night So, the sun is going to set in about an hour, I believe For now, we still have some natural lighting So let's start with some oracle messages to get a rough idea of what your future self wants to communicate to you just right off the bat Group 1, what does your future self want to tell you? There's definitely something here about a dream, a vision, a goal You have your dreams need a practical plan, full moon in Taurus and you also have, have faith in your dreams, waxing crescent moon So your future self wants to talk about a particular dream of yours and how you need to have faith in it but at the same time take actionable practical steps towards it You have inner temple devotion tuned into the portal of your heart There's also a spiritual call here Your future self wants you to be more heart centered to practice more devotion and prayer You have Council of Light Divine orchestration helpers in the subtle realms So your future self wants you to know that you're not in this alone From their perspective, they can see that everything was divinely orchestrated in the way that they came together and it can be helpful to have that perspective now So that in working towards your dream You can be rest assured that your faith isn't misled that there are other elements to this happening for you and it's not all just up to you Let's get some more Soul's Oracle cards Group 1, what does your future self want you to know? Okay, tell us more.

Group 1 You have decay and restlessness as well as guidance So I'm seeing here that your future self really wants to emphasize that you have helpers in the subtle realms that there are energies surrounding you wanting to support you and guide you and I think that's why you have inner temple as well If you practice more devotion and more prayer If you connect with your heart space and allow yourself to soften into a more feminine kind of presence You can connect with that guidance that is readily available for you and I want to emphasize, seems like your future self wants to emphasize that they can see this now in retrospect that guidance could have been helpful that devotion and prayer could have been helpful instead of just relying on yourself they see this in retrospect which is why they want to communicate this to you So perhaps you've been very independent, maybe hyper-independent.

Maybe you've struggled to have faith in your dreams, your desires and goals because it's been all up to you up until now.

You're on the right track.

Just take a couple more steps to gain that momentum and the rest will be so natural for you, so smooth.

Thank you so much group 1 for listening I hope that you found this reading helpful Let me know in the comments if it resonated If you'd like more guidance from me, I offer readings on Patreon so I would love to see you over there Otherwise, see you in another reading or another video Thanks for being here, sending love If you chose group 2, Smoky Quartz or the audiobook, Woman Who Run With the Wolves then this is your reading Hi group 2 So, we will get started by pulling some oracle cards to get some general messages from your future self Starting with the Moonology deck Future self.

What does group 2 need to know? Group 2's future self.

What do you want them to know? Okay, now the work your light deck.

You know, we've had The Creative Act by Rick Rubin.

We've had books for years, I mean, like, Women Who Run With the Wolves and all of this, uh, The War of Art, also fantastic, some of my favorite books on creativity.

But we're at this point, I think, where we are tired of the polished, overdone, perfect things.

We want grit.

I'm not sure if we're going to read that one.

That one is going to be as we go, because my other instinct is for us to read Women Who Run With the Wolves.

It may be I offer you pick, like you choose.

I'm not going to know until we get closer.

But I have a feeling that women who run with the wolves might need to be the finale of our time together um with magdalene mysteries being like a secondary option or vice versa right maybe we'll really need to read magdalene mysteries and then i'll have us be like supplementing some things from women who run with the wolves um And both of those carry forward an element of archetype lineage.

And Magdalene Mysteries really addresses a lot about like the Sophia, the feminine Christ.

So that's the overview of what we'll be reading.

He was a psychologist, but he was also a minister.

And there was nothing religious about it, but he, he would give us books to read.

Like, he gave me that book, Women Who Run With the Wolves.

I don't know if you, like, uh, Clarissa Pinkola Estés, I think is her-

Uh, yeah.

Yeah.

So, you know, he gave us really good books to read.

And also just in the year or two afterwards, some of my other friends, [laughs] it was almost contagious.
