Shiver [There is a] category of tales that the cantadoras y cuentistas. . call temblon, shiver stories. These overtly entertain, but are meant to cause listeners to experience a shiver of awareness that leads to thoughtfulness, contemplation, and action. Regardless of the shifting motifs within the story over time, the theme remains the same: the destruction of the fertile feminine. The above excerpt is from "Women Who Run With the Wolves" by Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D. - a fabulous and highly recommended book! |
