“What do we wish for?
To be whole. To be complete.
Wildness reminds us what it means to be human,
what we are connected to rather than
what we are separate from.”
– Terry Tempest Williams
The Wild Feminine weaves personal and archetypal stories and dreams together for a soulful and inspiring call to action. Through poignant, humorous, and deeply felt presentations of her life, Dr. Marilyn strikes a chord with all of us in whom the Wild Feminine is ready to emerge.
These stories are designed to awaken a feminine consciousness and bring wild feminine power and wisdom back to the world. In this book, we see how to open to mystery and learn to trust our inner wisdom. The Wild Feminine invites you to connect to your wild souls and move into the world with your intuition, creativity, and the power of love.
Forthcoming: The Way of the Wild Feminine: Dream a New Story, Draw a New Map of the World
What an ocean of beauty! The Wild Feminine gathers a woman’s deeply cherished experience of the wild feminine in stories that beautifully elucidate so many profound truths about life – those she has learned and those she has always known. Overflowing with wisdom, Dr. Marilyn’s book will be a blessing wherever it goes.
I was riveted by Dr. Marilyn Default, a harrowing account of harassment at the hands of predatory credit card companies. It’s a story that no one should have to live through, and yet so many people do. Steele broadens the scope of her article near the end, touching on homelessness, poverty, illness, war—and for this too, she is to be commended.
I just read your article Spider Woman Speaks published in the current SageWoman. I was ecstatic! Your words are music! I am not alone! The final victory is not mine alone, all of us share the fruit! We complement instead of compete. The ‘wild’ in me is now validated.

Call of the Wild: Dancing with Chaos
My six-year-old grandson, Scout, and I were talking about what dreams we might have as we got ready for bed. He explained: “First you see them with your eyes. Then they need to move into your mind and all the spaces there so they can come alive. Then you can step right into them.” Yep. This year 2020 [...]
Women Rising: Dreaming in a Time of Corona
I know we have to remember. … I remember when we had dreamers and they knew the water and its first songs, and I remember that the dreamers found water and medicine for the people. Nan okcha.

Queen Kali Calls Us to Love
Listening to NPR on my car radio, the news of the enormous explosion in Beirut and its aftermath are heartbreaking. But it was the stories of kindness, compassion, and generosity that finally broke the dam of global grief tears in me. Immediately, the Lebanese nearby began to set up online housing sources. Opening their homes, their apartments, to [...]
Singing in Tree
We must come to the end before a new beginning can come to us. —Helene Cixous Sitting in the backyard, I marvel at this unnamed plant, found on the nursery table under a sign: “For Hummingbirds and Bees.” Its narrow, bright-green stem stretches up almost five feet, doing absolutely nothing for the first couple of feet. Or perhaps [...]
