This is beautiful. I love the melding of wolf and woman, and this line stood out to me: "But what about those who snuggle down with them, fold themselves inside a coat of bristling fur and let the wild take them?" Letting the wild take you--there's food for thought. I love it!
This is gorgeous, Kerani! I can't believe how perfectly this lined up with the achetype/tarot reading for this week. The theme of embracing (and expressing) our wildness must be charging through the ethers this week! And, I'm no expert, but I'd definitely call this poetry! ❤️ Really outstanding!
Oh how fitting! I just read your reading last night but somehow I didn't make that connection (blame 1:30am nursing session 😆). It definitely seems to be in the air, also Sag season starts this week! Glad you enjoyed it 🧡

'Poetry' or 'feels like poetry', whatever it is, it's a fabulous read. ❤️
Thank you Helen 🥰 I'm glad it resonated with you
Love this... the line that I gravitated to was ... No hunter had to rob me of it, I stole it from myself...
It reminded me that’s it’s always my choice and, that I can claim it back again. X
I love that Lauren ♡ that was definitely a feeling I had while writing this, that it can be a choice willingly made
Favourite line (but it was all wonderful): “Somewhere along the way I tamed my wild,
Shed my skin like the selkies do,
Only mine was a pelt instead of a seal skin.”
That's my favorite also Leanne ♡
Such beautiful and evocative writing. The (poem-shaped :)) lines that stood out most to me:
"Shed my skin like the selkies do,
Only mine was a pelt instead of a seal skin.
I hung it over the mantle so that I could see but not touch, pretend it was still reachable.
No hunter had to rob me of it, I stole it from myself."
Definitely feeling inspired to go back to my copy of Women Who Run with the Wolves right about now... 🖤
Thanks Kimia 🥰 that stanza is my favorite also

Thanks Jan ♥️ it was initially inspired by the book Women Who Run With the Wolves
