'Developing a relationship with the wildish nature is an essential part of a women's individuation. In order to accomplish this, a woman must go into the dark, but at the same time she must not be irreparably trapped, captured, or killed on her way there or back."
- Clarissa Pinkola Estes, author of 'Women Who Run with Wolves'
Mmm that says most of it. That Dr. E as she calls herself, is a true teacher for me in this life my oh my. This song is about moving forward, letting go/sending into the fire that which no longer serves, keep moving, surrender up to the Mystery all the pain, confusion, discomfort. Patience, it's the long game folks.
lyrics
In the shadows lie,
woven webs repelling efforts of the Divine
Shed the layers forget the naysayers
cast it all to the sky
Wickerman on fire
Make or fake it right
wave your flag surrender in the endless night
Hate wont make it right
its in your hands to discern the truth from the lies
Dive into your pain, but know its the long game,
Its best you hold on tight
Wickerman on Fire
