Full Description

“Have You Forgotten? I Am Your Mother. You Are Under My Protection.” 

“There is a promise Holy Mother makes to us,” explains Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés, “that any soul needing comfort, vision, guidance, or strength can cry out to her, flee to her protection, and Blessed Mother will immediately arrive with veils flying. She will place us under her mantle for refuge, and give us the warmth of her most compassionate touch, and strong guidance about how to go by the soul’s lights.” Untie the Strong Woman is Dr. Estés' invitation to come together under the shelter of The Mother—whether she appears to us as the Madonna, Our Lady of Guadalupe, or any one of her countless guises. In this unforgettable collection of stories, prayers, and blessings, Dr. Estés shares:

  • “The Drunkard and the Lady”—a story of unexpected miracles that arise from the mud and soil
  • “Guadalupe is a Girl Gang Leader in Heaven”—a poem of resistance and hope
  • “The Shirt of Arrows”—a love that is invincible no matter how many times we are wounded
  • “The Black Madonna”—she who stands at the juncture between two worlds and protects us as we enter the dark places

Why does the face of Our Lady appear in the most humble and unexpected places? Why does she burst forth into every culture no matter how hard authority tries to suppress her? It is because she never fails to answer our call when we are in need. With Untie the Strong Woman, Dr. Estés invites you to encounter the force of Immaculate Love—“So that your memory of Her is renewed, or else knowledge of her miraculous, fierce, enduring ways is drawn into your heart for the very first time.”

Untie the Strong Woman

Beautiful. Sacred. Oh my it makes my soul dance and sing, stand still in chaos. Dearest Clarissa, to listen to your mellifluous embodied voice imbued with the soul of our Lady with sacredness, grit, fun, with the wisdom of your aunt Edna (I know her as well from your other works, she’s a cracker) is …… tears well up….. no words suffice….. home. You invite my whole being to relax to move forward in grace. I love love love ‘ girl gang leader in heaven’, ‘compassionate heart with a knife in my boot that I’m not afraid to use’. May all the light of the sun and the moon which shines from the metal aura of Our Lady of Guadalupe fill you every moment as you give to all of across the world. Thank you for blessing my life. Thank you Tami Simon and all you at ST for going with your dream years ago for consistently day in day out digging planting creating for being a conduit for all that sounds true to me to us today.

It really does feel like she's telling stories by the fireside.

It really does feel like she's telling stories by the fireside. I'm writing this as I'm listening to part two, in which CPE manages to convey how her people took in the religion of their conquerors and poured their own meaning into it. She's such a natural, spontaneous storyteller, full of love and life. Why read her books when you can hear her talk instead?
