Women Who Run With the Wolves
This topic was created in the Aquarius forum by Candle Girl on Thursday, April 15, 2004 and has 3 replies.
I posted this on the Libra board, but after reading Alana's terrible experience, I wanted to post this here.
I have been doing some research for a character in my book I am writing and ran across this book.
Has anyone read it?
Here is a passage:
"We are all filled with a longing for the wild. There are a few culturally sancationed antidotes for this yearning. We were taught to fell shame for such a desire. We grew our hair long and used it to hide our feelings. But the shadow of Wild Woman still lurks behinds us during our days and in to our nights. No matter where we are the shadow that trots behind us is definitely four footed."

As I continure to read I am learning even more about myself, so I posted another thread and want to share it with you.
"I am reading this book for research as I said, but OMG, if anyone has been in an abusive relationship, this unlocks a lot of questions a to why it happens. We are smart, pretty, you name it, but somehow we pick the wrong partner and stay for and incredible amount of time.
Sorry to share that much, but it is so interesing. When my ex and I broke up I was devastated. I kind of went underground in the winter, so to speak and came out in the spring a new woman. I healed myself and my soul.
I took a picture of myself with my many, bruises and look at it from time to time to remind myself that love should never be violent.

Hi Candlegirl...I am so sorry for what you have gone through with your ex as well as what Alana and many other women have experienced. This is what I would call, "Hell on earth." and then now....perhaps you are experiencing.."Heaven."
Woman Who Run With The Wolves.....I ran with an Aquarian Wolf...I trusted him and he bit me. For a long time I would ask..."why?" and now I ask, "why not?"
I have seen this book at my Step mom's house...I have been very attracted to the title and have yet to read it...now perhaps I shall.
Thank you Candlegirl

Hello Aquarians! I'm so hoping I can get some some help and advice from you on this - or at the least, a better perspective here. A little background is probably warranted here so please forgive the long post upfront......
