17a: The Wild Woman: A Mythic Symbol of Womanhood

This is a special 3-part episode of Bristlecone Firesides. Abbey and Madison are joined again by poet and mystic Kathryn Knight Sonntag as well as new guest Amber Richardson to explore the Wild Woman archetype. Within the shared collective unconscious lies the Wild Woman — a mythic symbol of pure womanhood, undefiled and untamed. The Wild Woman runs with wolves and embodies all the beauty and terror of life and death as well as shamelessly embraces pleasure, pain, and everything in between.

Part 1 explores what an archetype is and why they’re powerful tools in our spiritual growth, who the Wild Woman is, and how Jesus helps us see this wildness.
