Untie the Strong Woman
Clarissa Pinkola Estes, $27.95
With Untie the Strong Woman, Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés invites us to reconnect with "She who wears hundreds of costumes, dozens of skin tones, is patroness of deserts, mountains, stars and oceans. The fierce and loving Mother is friendly, but never tame-she who flies to our aid when the road is long and our hearts are broken, ever ready to rekindle the inner fire of our creative souls."
In her first book in more than a decade, Dr. Estés illuminates Universal Mother through blessings, images, and narrative, including:
- Stories of connecting with the Mother, including "Meeting the Lady in Red," and "Untie the Strong Woman"
- Blessed Mother's many images from around the world, including "Litany of The Mother Road: A Chant of Her Incandescent Names;" "A Man Named Mary;" and "The Marys of Mother Africa"
- The wild side of her love, including "Massacre of the Dreamers: The Maiz Mother;" "Holy Card of Swords Through the Heart;" and "Guadalupe is a Girl Gang Leader in Heaven"
"The Blessed Mother is often 'Friend to the friendless one' and Mother to all -- yet too many of us have been estranged from her for far too long." Untie the Strong Woman opens a channel to this sacred and nurturing force, "breaking through walls that have held us back from her presence, and instead, inviting us to shelter under her starry green mantle."
