In most cultures over the ages the patriarchy have repressed women to the extent that we are no longer in touch with our deepest primordial selves. Our instinctual natures, the seat of our souls has been under siege and it's high time we work on getting back in touch with the wild woman within. I am not implying that we must toss the baby carriage. Not at all, but we must dig down and ignite that soul-fire, be true to our inner natures so that we can be well balanced individuals connected with the earth, the higher powers and with each other. There is a big difference between being subservient and being true to our nurturing natures.
Subservience comes from social pressure and fear.
Nurturing comes from the heart with love. Many European and Oriental myths surrounding the essence of the wild woman show that the repression and rejection of the creative life force, the wild woman essence can twist and turn that force into a destructive and crazy energy. The vital, wild life energy is suppressed and broken down by the civilizing of children at an early age. This transaction of repressing the spontaneous actions is the beginning of the end of our wild intuitiveness. Yes, we do need to behave, control some of our urges if we are to live together in a society without harming others or ourselves.
