The Wild Woman archetype represents a force that refuses to be tamed. She is the part of you that defies societal expectations, embraces her raw, primal energy, and expresses herself unapologetically. In a world that often pushes women to be “good” and “proper,” your Inner Wild Woman is a reminder that true freedom lies in reclaiming your wild, untethered essence.

Who is the Wild Woman?

The Wild Woman is the aspect of you that will never be tamed. The unruly. The untethered. The wholly natural. The Wild Woman is a virgin, by the original meaning: a woman unto herself. Self-sufficient. Self-led. Self-reliant. You can see how this posed a threat to “those in power” in a Patriarchal system of rule and order… Over millennia, feminine independence and Goddess reverence was wiped out for a dynamic where women were submissive, slaves, sold as commodity, property, inventory to be bartered, sold, and borrowed.

The power of the Wild Woman lies in her ability to stand apart, to speak her truth, and to live by her own rules. The Wild Woman cuts through the noise and demands authenticity. She cannot be contained, and she certainly won’t obey any commands to be smaller or quieter.

Reclaiming your inner Wild Woman is a return to the foundations of self-ownership and sovereignty. To remind you that your wild authentic feminine nature is worthy and valid.

“The world always tried to tame her, but she wore rebellion quite well. She lives in a state of euphoria after dancing decades through hell.”

• Nikki Rowe

Reclaiming the Wild Woman Archetype

Reclaiming your Wild Woman means reconnecting with your raw, instinctual nature. It means listening to your body, your primal urges, and the deepest desires that have been buried beneath layers of societal conditioning. The Wild Woman archetype invites you to shake off the rules that have confined you and to step into a space of unbridled self-expression.

In a world that tells you to be “nice” and “polite,” you inner Wild Woman howls with sacred rage, fights for justice, and refuses to bow down to mediocrity. She is the part of you that knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to go after it.

The Power of the Wild Woman

The Wild Woman doesn’t just exist in your mind, she lives in your body. She invites us back, to descend to our most base and primal parts. To our blood, our mess, our chaos, our crazy, our wild emotional terrain. To the “animal” side of us driven by hunger and body impulse which defies logic, sense, and rules.

She looks at Herself in the mirror with fierce eyes and loves what she sees, natural and free. Claims herself and others without shame. Expresses her true nature without hesitation – in the bedroom, in the kitchen, at her office…

The Wild Woman is the most animalistic archetype, so when we truly listen to her, we can cut off from the mind chatter, limiting beliefs, or negative thoughts. She pulls us down and into our bodies, the present moment, our desire, and our hunger. 

To embody the Wild Woman is to give yourself permission to take up space, to set fierce boundaries, and to live in your truth without apology. She is the dark feminine who both nurtures and destroys, creating change wherever she goes. She reminds you that chaos and messiness are part of life and that true power comes from embracing these aspects of yourself.

How to Activate the Wild Woman Archetype

1. Reclaim your Primal Body: The Wild Woman is deeply connected to her physical body. Spend time in nature, engage in primal movement, or explore intuitive dancing to help you reconnect with your body’s natural rhythms and desires. Feel the earth beneath your feet and let your body move without constraint.
   
2. Speak your truth: The Wild Woman doesn’t hold back. Practice using your voice, whether it’s sharing your opinion at work, setting a boundary with a loved one, or expressing yourself unapologetically on social media. Let your voice be heard.
   
3. Work with your Sacred Rage: Anger is an emotion we’ve often been taught to suppress, but the Wild Woman embraces it. Use journaling, primal movement, or breathwork to channel your anger into a creative force for change. What are you howling for?
   
4. Connect with your sexual energy: The Wild Woman is unafraid of her sensuality. Explore your desires and reclaim your body as a source of pleasure and power. Let go of shame around your sexuality and honour your body’s needs without guilt.
   
   

The Lessons of Artemis, the Wild Woman Goddess

One of the goddesses who embodies the Wild Woman archetype is Artemis, the Greek goddess of the hunt, the wilderness, and the moon. Artemis is fiercely independent, a protector of women and children, and a symbol of the untamed feminine. She reminds us that we are not beholden to the expectations of society, and that we can live a life led by our instincts and intuition.

Artemis teaches us to embrace our wildness, to go after what we want with precision, and to protect what is sacred to us. Working with Artemis can be a powerful way to call on the energy of the Wild Woman within.

From “Good Girl” to “Bad”

The Wild Woman archetype is an invitation to live a life of freedom, authenticity, and primal power. She urges you to stop playing small and to reclaim the parts of yourself that have been shamed or hidden. By embracing the Wild Woman within, you can tap into a deep well of self-expression, courage, and truth.

There are too many of us still sat at home, in fear, with worlds to change. There are too many afraid to unleash the full extent of their feminine force. Too afraid to: say the thing “just in case someone says / thinks something”… Be cancelled and to topple off the pedestal… Be outcast and burned.

Too much of a “Good Girl”.
