La Loba, known to local superstitions as Soul Stealer, is a fascinating, powerful character of unreserved knowing and passion. The story is a continuation of Estes ‘ long held fascination with the wild woman archetype and the raw, natural power of female intuition and instinct. One day, she decides to attempt to resurrect the unrestrained spirit of life itself from the depths of the Underworld. Inspired by my research of Lesely and her love of travel, culture and exploration (and being ever eager to learn more about women of the world and different cultures myself), I read up on some of her personal favourite stories from around the world and there was one in particular I ‘ve just f allen in love with.Ĭlarissa Pinkola Estes’ La Loba: Wild Woman, Luminous Wolf is an enchantingly gorgeous, mythical tale set in the barren wilderness of Mexico’s northern deserts, where there lives a mysterious woman of many names and identities who devotes her life to the collection of precious and endangered things, such as the bones of once sacred animals. Tomorrow at GWL we welcome musician and storyteller Lesley O’Brien for an incredible, unique Story Café special.
