I’m not done reading it yet, but I’m currently devouring this one: “Women Who Run With the Wolves - Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype” by Clarissa Pinkola Estés. It’s beautifully written and has been bringing a lot of clarity to my own journey to return to my divine feminine energy. She writes about the “Wild Woman” in the context of stories and tales that she’s spent her life hearing and sharing. It’s interesting because almost everyone has grown up hearing certain tales and reading stories that have woven their messages into our psyches - and the version of the tale she describes may differ from what you’ve heard/read, but the message is the same. I’ve been recommending this book to every woman in my life.
WWRWW ALL THE WAY! I've been in several women's circles focused on this book and it is life changing.

This one is high on my tbr list. I've been getting into feminist spirituality, Jungian psychology, and the divine feminine. I always see this book suggested.

I'm into Jungian psychology as well! There are so many amazing women writers in that field, like Marion Woodman. It's a great source for exploring the feminine.
Matriarchal society run by women who can do magic. Mostly women characters which I loved. Protagonist haunted by visions of someone trying to warn her or tell her something.
