Let's take a look at the Mistress of the Animals or Lady of the Beasts to understand her in symbol and concept and see how, like the ancients, we might use her as a tool or buffer to keep the dangerous and untamed world out there at bey so we might survive and thrive. Lets look at her as a symbol or role model for female authority, control and sovereignity. Then get paper and pen ready to think about these prompts: 1) If you grew up with these myths, how might it change social constructs like patriarchy in society? Would it exist? 2) What decisions might you make differently? 3) How might you see yourself differently? 4) Think about that feral wild woman within we force to lay dormant in civilized society - what is she like, what is she forced to sacrifice? What would we do if there were not rules or no one was watching? How might you restructure your life? 5) Where in your life are you sacrificing your freedom? 6) What parts of your true nature or voice have you locked away to keep others comfortable or to fit in?
