Our time is about woman being someone unto herself. It is about her naming the dark, and claiming the power that is in it. Patriarchy is running out! "The return of the goddess" to the soul of woman and to the world soul has occurred ... this means that those qualities of the feminine which have lain in the shadows for millenia now seek consciousness, acknowledgement and use.Lewis has approached this shift of feminine awareness from 3 angles; through some Jungian psychology exampled in myth, poetry and story. In the wise and witty Irish legend-tale, the wild woman is neither captured nor caged but rather scrubbed and loved until she becomes very wise.And that is the point of recovering the wild woman; the wisdom of the wild must be incarnated through being. One must "go to hell" to retrieve her wisdom or at least embraced with a kiss before she will yield her treasures of speech and mantic gifts of the shamaness or mage. "From archetypal hags to inconvenient women, Lillian Lewis takes us to the wild edges to find new freedoms, where the wisdom of the unconfined heart still holds sway." (Caitlin Matthews, Sophia.)
