Stories originating from Ireland to Siberia are partnered by illuminating essays of symbolic psychoanalysis
Wise Women by Sharon Blackie and Angharad Wynne: Elder female archetypes liberated from ancient European stories
Angharad Wynne, Wise Women’s Welsh storyteller co-author, brings an oral style to the book. These stories, originating from Ireland to Siberia, are designed to be read aloud, or to be memorised for future “fireside” retellings. A mild dissatisfaction is that I yearned for a brief technical description of how the writers worked together; this I had to guess at.
The genius of Wise Women – and the reason it can be put to such practical and uplifting use in the lives of eldering women – is that the stories are partnered by illuminating essays of symbolic psychoanalysis: maps to personal life application that Jungians can generate for our culture, which has lost the ancient skills of dream, myth and folktale interpretation.
