Intuitive Art by Nancy Ray Taylor

The Wolf Woman seeks out forgotten bones, builds a fire under and breathes onto them, new life.   She is mother and friend to those who lost their way…a river of lessons, provider of riddles…and guide to the deepest, darkest part of your soul. She is known as, the Great Woman, the Light from the Abyss, the Bone Woman and Rio Abajo Rio, “river beneath the river,” according to Clarissa Pinkola Estes, author of Women who run with the Wolves.

“The comprehension of this Wild Woman nature is not a religion but a practice. It is a psychology in its truest sense…a knowing of the soul. Without her, women are without ears to hear her soul-talk or to register the chiming of their own inner rhythms…Their eyes are closed…they forget why they are here.”

Women and men alike, have the potential to access this Rio Abajo Rio when we dance, sing, meditate, paint, or just get lost in any form of creativity…this is where she waits, in the depths of the mystery of the Intuitive Arts. Some refer to her as a Muse, but she is much more than “one who whispers”…she is life giver from the deepest well. Look for her out of the corner of your eye, she is patiently waiting…to renew your bones.
