Creativity: Invoking the Muse

In this week’s episode we invoke the Muses to discuss their origin and how we might find ourselves on the receiving end of their blessings. We ask Hesiod and Diodores what they know about the Mousai and explore how their description lines up with the Qabalistic Tree of Life. We also discuss the role creativity plays in science, music and even how to overcome writer's block. In the extended show we discuss the Hindu Sarasvati, even more Qabalah, The Alchemical workings of the Art or Temperance card of the Tarot, love, Confucianism and if creation is even possible or if it's all just a remix?Special thanks: https://crypticchroniclespodcast.com/ In this episode we discuss:The Muses or Mousai of Greek MythologyOsiris and DionysusGetting HighThe Qabalistic Tree of LifeInvoking the MuseEtymologyThe Devil’s Trill SonataWriters BlockIn the extended show available at www.patreon.com/TheWholeRabbit we discuss:Novelty vs. ImitationLuciferic EgoIntellectual PropertyAlchemy of the Art CardSaraswatiCreativity in the West vs. EastAnd more!Each host is responsible for writing and creating the content they present.Where to find The Whole Rabbit:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0AnJZhmPzaby04afmEWOAVInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_whole_rabbitTwitter: https://twitter.com/1WholeRabbitSources:Diodoros, Muses:https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Diodorus_Siculus/4A*.html#2Sarasvati:https://www.worldhistory.org/Sarasvati/Everything is a Remix by Kirby Ferguson:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJPERZDfyWcJordan Peterson:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxGPe1jD-qYLUCA, Last Universal Common Ancestor:https://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/26/science/last-universal-ancestor.htmlFingerprints:https://sites.rutgers.edu/fingerprinting/no-two-finger-prints-are-alike/C.G.
