Status Updates From Women Who Run With the Wolv...

Questions to help us as we untangle:
“What must I give more death to today, in order to generate more life? What do I know should die but am hesitant to allow? What must die in order for me to love? What not-beauty do I fear? What should live? What am I afraid to give birth to?”
If we do this till we feel the burn of truth, we throw a spark into the dark psyche to illuminate- we can see what we’re (truly) doing

Untangling the mystery of Skeleton Woman begins to break the spell (fear) that one will be consumed, made dead forever. Archetypally, to untangle something requires a descent into some underworld where matters are revealed in new ways. What at first appears to be a convoluted process is in effect a profound process of renewal. In fairytales to loosen/unknot/untie/untangle means to understand the previously unknown.

The work of learning the Life/Death/Life nature has to be done. If one wishes to love, there is no getting around it. The work of embracing her is a TASK. Without a task that challenges, there can be no transformation. Without a task there is no real sense of satisfaction. To love pleasure takes little. To love truly takes a hero who can manage his own fear.
