In this episode, we'll be exploring tales of sun gods – and their relatives – brought to earth. It… rarely ends well, as one might imagine. We'll start in China, with the tale of Hou Yi and the Ten Suns, then explore some other tales of solar destruction from Greece and Egypt. All stories told on Myths & Muses are original family-friendly adaptations of ancient myths and legends. Stories from ancient mythology can also sometimes deal with complicated topics for young listeners — to the mortal parents and caretakers reading this, we encourage listening along with your young demigods to help them navigate those topics as they explore these epic tales.

The mind that is not baffled is not employed. The impeded stream is the one that sings." ---- Wendell BerryThe situation that Berry describes is a creative edge, the place where the known meets the unknown, where what is and has been realized and understood fades into the possibilities of what is yet to be.Two questions arise for me in contemplating this creative edge. Where do we look for guidance? Or rather, what are we in conversation with when we reach the edge of knowing? And what is a good way to court this guiding source, energy, inspiration, or wisdom?The nine Muses of ancient Greece and their mother, the Titan goddess Mnemosyne, offer some ideas.Thanks for listening and keep the mystery in your life alive...Support the showEmail Catherine at catherine@mythicmojo.comPost a positive review on apple podcasts!

Dear Ones, This Sunday - paint flowers with me and the Muses. A daylong paint and sip in Sonoma and virtually. No experience needed - really. Just come. You will have so much fun - there is still time to get cake and rose' or sparkle water and brushes and a canvas a big as you choose. ~ Shiloh Sophia The Muse May Speak in FlowersMy muse usually shows up in leather, lace, and feathers with rhinestone sunglasses, glinting in cowgirl boots with gold wings. This is how I've come to know her since she made her company available to me. The first time she spoke to me, her language was red-winged blackbird, and pomegranate seeds the color of moon blood on white sheet red. She didn't come with platitudes. She came with instructions and keys. Oh, so many keys to so many doors I know nothing about. And she only occasionally allows me to try one to fit in the lock. She doesn't let me try if I am good. She only offers them if I am willing to be bad. Not bad as in bad versus good, but bad as in badass. Because my Muse is a badass. Yours is too, most likely. She won't offer us her gifts if we stay safe. She always wants a bigger canvas. She always wants a bigger brush. She always wants too much water. Because she told me sometimes size does matter and it would be much better if I painted naked and barefoot. She walks me to my edge and then tips me over Into that muse place where all the colors bend and come alive in me. The place where I remember who I was before all of this heart-breaking open stuff of life. Today, she showed up differently. I haven't seen her quite like this before.She tempted me with an old lure, lightning for breakfast. But then she added soft, full-hipped orgasms in the sunny afternoon, the ones that start at the top of your head and shimmy down to the tips of your red toes. Today, she brought me pain à chocolat. A chocolate croissant from Paris where she dreams me alive. You see, I was there for weeks and now every dream I have is taking place in the streets of Paris where we're all having Tea with the Muse. You see, I haven't been feeling so well. You see, this life has been too busy for me. But it's not her who abandons me. It's me. Who abandons me. Then I can't hear her voice so clearly. The tones, they are muffled. The colors, they are muted. And the riddle is that I cannot hear her if I abandon myself. I cannot hear her speaking in sunflowers speak. For a minute, just a minute, I resisted. I protested. Haven't you seen what is happening in the world?Isn't having Tea with the Muse a frivolity? She rolled her giant eyes, of course, and as she did, I swear dragonflies flew all around her, their wings glistening. Where had they been hiding? Then I started to court her. I courted her when the stars still shone on the waters. I sat in the deep well waiting and looking until the sun shone on my freckled shoulders. When I saw her, of course, I was dazzled. She flirted with black-eyed Susans on her nipples, a star jasmine crown of white, oh, the scent of her, coral-colored roses blooming around her hips, a peony at her vulva, pink with magenta strokes. In her hand, she carried ripe peaches from the tree just right there, and the first pears of the season. There was a long train of geraniums trailing behind her of every color. Hummingbirds hovered around her head and the bees, I could hear them singing as she approached and pulled me from the water and that was whenthe ravens began to sing and cluck. She took my hand and in my hands the seeds of foreign flowers flowed, perhaps flowers from France. She told me that flowers are the language of poetry and that I better get used to hydrangeas that speak in periwinkleand gladiolas that hum in yellow and rhododendrons that talk too much. She warned me: Get your ass to the canvas or else, biatch. I know she threatens when I'm in danger of losing some deeper sense of self. It's just been slipping between the cracks. Or I have been slipping through them.So here I sit, having this Tea with the Muse, feeling the fog depart and the numbing soften. Her hands are on my hands now, clicking and clacking as I attempt to tell you about a visitation from La Muse and I invite you to call upon your own. Hint: She may speak in flowers or ravens or dragonflies. Do not take this visit lightly. Take it from me that without her the well dries up, the colors fade and the belly clenches and the heart moans of longing. The Muse She isn't always right on time. You can't just expect her. She has her own timing.I feel like today I got really lucky. As she took her leave, I could swear I saw Dogwood from last season dancing around her wake. She looked back, winking, her job well done, and I began to laugh. And now to the page. And now to the dance floor. And now to the canvas. Today I shall wear the pink dress and go barefoot, hot pink lip gloss, and I too will be winking right at you.Shiloh Sophia Tea with the Muse is a reader-supported publication.

This episode, we'll explore stories inspired by the ImpossibleQuest that Commodus is calling The Contest of Godly Strength. So, when I think about gods and heroes who have performed feats of incredible strength, there are really two who leap immediately to mind. One of them is Heracles, who we've talked about a lot on this podcast – and another is the Norse god Thor. I'll tell some of their stories, as well as introducing you to the bronze giant Talos and the Malaysian hero Badang! All stories told on Myths & Muses are original family-friendly adaptations of ancient myths and legends. Stories from ancient mythology can also sometimes deal with complicated topics for young listeners — to the mortal parents and caretakers reading this, we encourage listening along with your young demigods to help them navigate those topics as they explore these epic tales.

In this expansive three-hour presentation, renowned Canadian ufologist Grant Cameron addresses the Vancouver UFO group, offering a profound deep dive into the intersection of consciousness and the paranormal. Moving far beyond traditional "nuts and bolts" theories, Cameron presents his "Theory of Wow," arguing that the phenomenon utilizes unexplainable events to spark "on curiosity" and awe, dragging humanity toward a more complex understanding of the world.A central theme of the discussion is the significance of "dream signs"—bizarre physical indicators such as scoop marks, triangles on the hands, and clothing found inside-out and backwards. Cameron posits these are intentional signals designed to wake participants from the "dream" of material existence. He explores the "indigestible truth" reported by high-level intelligence officials: that our physical world is an illusion, and reality is actually a non-local field of consciousness or vibration where time and space are mere constructs.The session further explores the striking 37% overlap between UFO experiencers and Near-Death Experiences (NDEs), suggesting that both involve a "ripping of the veil" that triggers psychic opening and profound spiritual growth. Cameron emphasizes the primary message consistently delivered by non-human intelligence: Oneness. This core teaching asserts that all things are interconnected, and that the mistaken belief in separation is the primary root of human conflict.From the mechanics of flying conscious craft using thought and vibration to the role of Hollywood and intelligence agencies in managing disclosure, this recording provides a comprehensive ontological framework for the contact experience. Cameron concludes that the universe is a participatory experience where consciousness—not matter—is primary

Despite the June jobs report coming in weaker than expected, Charles Schwab's Kevin Gordon considers the inflation story the main focus of the Fed's forward momentum. He urges investors pay attention to the impact it will have on American wallets, as a significant shift in wages will push the Fed toward stronger interest rate hikes. When it comes to markets, Kevin talks about the "MUSES" versus the "AAMMO" as Micron (MU), Samsung and SK Hynix poses new dynamics for Alphabet (GOOGL), Microsoft (MSFT), Meta Platforms (META) and other hyperscalers. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

In this episode, we're going to look at the ImpossibleQuest he's calling “The Witch's Test.” Now, mythology is full of witches, sorcerers, mages, and other magical types – but they don't all put heroes to specific tests. In Greek mythology, Circe and Medea do more to help Odysseus and Jason than to test them, and other witches like Grimhilde in Norse mythology are just interested in getting their own way, by whatever means necessary – the heroes are just obstacles to them. There are some, though, who take it upon themselves to make heroes prove themselves. So let's hear a few of their stories! Visit the World of Mythik website to learn more and to contribute your theories to our board!

Send us Fan MailPlaywright Marc Mantell stopped by Playwright's Spotlight after directing the production of Dr. Freud, I Presume written by recent Spotlight guest - Donna Scarantino. Marc's playwriting journey is nothing short of fascinating, and this discussion is unlike anything any past interview or any episode down the road. While I tried to unpack Marc's process, I was met with stories of a journey ill-remembered, as if the Muses were always at his beck and call and each play appeared on the page. We open with the history of his first play Nobody's Home from it Katherine Hepburn's letter in 1984 to its winning Best Play at the Road Theater in 2014. We delve into his journey into playwriting, how the age of his characters in Nobody's Home prevented future productions, his continual ability to "avoid" success, and what happens after a break in playwriting as well as pushing forward to "what's next". We talk about his success without Rae Allen, writing in an age without technology, writing musicals, his experience in Bogota, Columbia, how his playwriting influences his directing, and moving away from past projects. Marc is a charming personality and enigma whose story is captivating and well worth listening to. Enjoy!Marc Mantell is playwright, director, and screenwriter and holds a BFA in Theatre Arts from New York University. He has written lyrics and libretto for several musicals including “Quadroon” (music/lyrics: Joe Sample and Jonathan Brooke) which premiered in Houston, Texas, and “Por Siempre Navidad” (music: Maria Isabel Murillo) which played two consecutive seasons in Bogota, Columbia. His play "Nobody's Home" WINNER of the ROAD THEATRE COMPANY: BEST PLAY...SUMMER PLAYWRIGHT'S FESTIVAL 2014.

In today's Bob Dylan Hotline, Laura and Rebecca get a little mystical. Bob Dylan himself has often described the creative process as magical, and through the years has also been drawn to mysticism like the Tarot. We talk about creativity as alchemy, which Tarot card Bob Dylan most identified with, and the spell that music can cast. The Tarot deck we're referring to is the Rider-Waite-Smith deck from 1909, illustrated by Pamela Coleman Smith.Listen to the podcast episode about Creation and Creativity in "My Own Version of You" and "Mother of Muses" here.If you have a question for us, send us a voice memo to bobdylanhotline@gmail.com.For anything else get in touch at itsdefinitelydylan@gmail.comYou can support Definitely Dylan on Patreon or with a one-off donation at buymeacoffee.com/definitelydylan.Book your Bob Dylan Walking Tour of NYC with Rebecca on ramblintours.com.Get your Definitely Dylan baseball cap here.

This episode explores Apollo, the Muses, Memory, and Helichrysum—where mythology, culture, and aromatherapy meet.As the season turns from Artemis to Apollo, I look at what happens when the young yang aspects of the psyche mature into clarity, direction, and mastery — and what collapses when that masculine principle forgets its lineage. We explore the Muses as channels of collective memory, Mnemosyne as the river that keeps hubris in check, and Apollo Musagetes as the conductor who can only function when he's in right relationship with them.I talk about the Duchamp exhibit at MoMA and the cultural drift into “look culture,” drawing on Sophie Gilbert's Girl on Girl and the long shadow of the AIDS crisis — how desire moved into the visual realm and left us with a disembodied gaze. We trace how this shift severed Apollo from the Muses, leaving us with spectacle instead of depth, performance instead of relationship.And then we return to the body — to aromatherapy as an embodied antidote. To the intelligence of aromatic molecules and their direct line to memory, emotion, and meaning. This leads us to Helichrysum — Immortelle — a plant of memory and deep healing. A plant that cools swollen yang, steadies drifting yin, and reminds us that creation is never ours alone.If you're drawn to myth, memory, culture, and the living intelligence of aromatic plants, this episode will meet you where you are.Access the companion article here.

Can transcendence still make philosophical sense after modernity? John Vervaeke speaks with philosopher William Desmond about Platonism as a living tradition, the meaning of strong transcendence, and Desmond's philosophy of the metaxu: the between. The conversation builds from John's proposal that relevance realization and transjectivity are philosophically grounded in Desmond's ontological account of the between. John begins by distinguishing modern psychological accounts of transcendence from the ancient and Platonic sense of strong transcendence. In this stronger sense, transcendence is not merely a better state of mind. It discloses truths that are otherwise unavailable and changes the knower's relation to reality. That claim challenges modern assumptions about flat ontology, the buffered self, representational cognition, and the fact-value split. Desmond responds through Plato. He presents Plato not as a dry theorist of two worlds, but as a philosophical artist of the between: a thinker of mimesis, eros, mania, dialogue, singularity, and participatory transformation. Plato's dialogues are not ornamental containers for arguments; their drama, characters, and dialogical movement are part of the philosophy itself. The later conversation opens into deep memory, imagination, eternity, possibility, God, Daoism, intercultural philosophy, pilgrimage, and the life-world. Desmond and Vervaeke converge on the need to move beyond the view from nowhere and return philosophy to transformative practice, embodied dwelling, and a richer contact with the sources of intelligibility. Key Insights Strong transcendence has epistemological and ontological significance, not only psychological benefit. The metaxu, or between, names a porous relation before, beneath, between, and beyond modern dichotomies. Modernity's fact-value split risks producing default atheism or default nihilism. Participatory knowing offers an alternative to treating cognition as internal representation of an external world. Plato's dialogical form is integral to his philosophy; the drama cannot simply be stripped away to extract arguments. Mimesis involves relation between image and original without collapsing their difference. Eros and mania point to two directions of transcendence: from below upward and from above downward. Deep memory is a source of imagination and ontological depth, not merely storage of past facts.

For this episode, we're focusing on the Quest that Commodus is calling “The New Labors of Hercules”. So, what might that mean? Maybe we can figure it out – or at least get some kind of idea – by examining the old Labors. Most of the Labors of Hercules feature fantastical creatures of some kind, and we've talked about some of them in prior episodes. But we did sort of have to speed-run through them, so let's look at a few more in-depth now. Plus, if you haven't received this year's prophecy from our Oracle yet, you can hear it in this episode!

Welcome to Season 4 of Myths & Muses! This summer, the epic storyteller and cycle-breaker Shahrazad has taken the liberty of signing us up for some ImpossibleQuests. I know that might seem a little odd. But here's what I know about Shahrazad: When she makes a plan, it works. Whatever she has in mind for us, I know she wouldn't be putting us in this position if she didn't think we could take on the challenge. And I'm sure she'll have our backs along the way. In case you don't know why I trust Shahrazad so much on this, though, I'm using this first episode to tell you her story. The rest of the season, I'll be doing my best to guide you all based on the titles of the ImpossibleQuests we'll apparently be facing at camp this summer.

What happens when a Fantasyland theater stops feeling like a must-see and starts feeling like filler?This week, Stephen is joined by Jenny and Marissa as we take on one of the most iconic show spaces in the park and ask a bold question: what if Mickey's PhilharMagic evolves into something entirely new?We explore a reimagined experience built around the Muses from Hercules, reframing them not as supporting characters but as the storytellers of mythology itself. In this version, guests step into an immersive, live performance where the Muses summon and reshape the myth of heroes in real time, turning Hercules into a case study in how legends are created, remembered, and rewritten.Along the way, we break down the operational tradeoffs of replacing a high-capacity, push-button attraction with a live performer-driven spectacle, how the theater itself becomes part of the show, and why it is designed to feel like a one-night-only event happening every day.We also dig into modular storytelling through music, with each Muse interpreting “The Gospel Truth” in their own voice, the return of Hades as a disruptive force in the narrative, and how songs like “Zero to Hero” and “A Star Is Born” are recontextualized as myth-making moments rather than character arcs.Finally, we explore how this concept opens the door to a larger idea of myth-based storytelling across Disney's hero library, and what it means when Fantasyland stops being something you watch and becomes something you are part of.Don't forget to check us out on Instagram!

Where can I find a woman like...Dante's girl? On this episode of Young Heretics, we finally get the high-fallutin' invocation of the Muses we've come to expect from any epic poem. But it's not enough! Dante needs more woman than the Muses can be...more grace, more truth, more light. And it comes from on high--first from the Virgin Mary, then Sainty Lucy, then finally his beautiful, his famous, his beloved Beatrice. Today we introduce this central figure in the Comedy, inspiration of Dante's career and "lady of his mind." We'll talk about the Muses, memory, and the communion of saints. And hopefully by the end, we'll see how much courtly love meant to the poets of this age--and how much, perhaps, it can mean to us.

This sessions takes us back to Phaedria's epic history thousands of years before our actual campaign beings. In ancient times superhuman warriors walked the earth, inspired by the Muses to perform incredible feats. The war between the Themelites and the Xerisans has been long and bloody. The muses grow weary of the standstill. King Themeleotis, while recovering in his trireme receives a message from Lumus telling him that it is time to leave and sail to a new land that is waiting for his people. But first they must steal back the sacred artifact the Xerisans stole from him, the Paladium. He sends his most trusted warriors to retrieve it.

Definitively our most Canadian conversation yet!In this episode of Material Girls, we once again take a look at Heated Rivalry — this time focusing on the Canadian-ness of the show. We were joined in February by sister of the pod, Hope Rehak, to think through the show's popularity as it relates to puritanism. This time around, we brought in John Batt (he/him), the brilliant mind behind the Instagram account @canada.gov.ca,* to help us think through the show as CanCon (Canadian content).Together, Marcelle, Hannah and John consider what it means for something "to be Canadian." They broach the myth of Canadian culture as a monolith and do a historical deep dive on The Massey Commission to get a better sense of how CanCon became institutionalized as a nationalist endeavor.

A game is “done” when you stop thinking about it, right? The Bakers complicate that in the best way, and it instantly changes how we think about tabletop RPG design, publishing, and the long life of ideas. We start with the deceptively simple question of finishing, then follow it into Apocalypse World, Burned Over, and the broader Powered by the Apocalypse ecosystem where iteration, hacks, and play communities keep a design alive for decades.From there, we zoom out to the craft problem every creator hits sooner or later: how do you keep your work from turning into an echo chamber? We talk about avoiding insular design, why it helps to play with people who are not game designers, and how “outside” inputs like movies, museums, walks, concerts, and conversations with other creatives can reshape mechanics and story procedures. If you care about playtesting, creative collaboration, and making games that land with real tables, you'll find a lot to steal here.We also get personal about inspiration and values. Place and history matter, including the messy histories under our feet and the responsibility to amplify underrepresented voices. Then we shift into family creativity across generations: different brains, different processes, different remix instincts, and the hard-won skills of staying respectful and genuinely invested when creative conflict shows up.We wrap with a candid segment on social media, kids' privacy, and media literacy, grounded in ongoing critical thinking rather than one-size rules.

What happens when the thing you most want to share is also the thing that terrifies you most?In this episode, Anna sits down with poet and author Mer Monson to talk about Mer's debut poetry collection, For the Wounded, and the deeply human journey that brought it into the world. Together, they explore writing as a place of refuge, the connection between depression and expression, the fear of being seen, and the slow, tender process of creating from a place of truth rather than performance.Mer shares how journaling became a lifeline early in life, how writing came alive for her during a cancer diagnosis, and how a season of grief, loss, and spiritual unraveling led to the poems in this collection. Anna and Mer also reflect on the coaching process they shared together, and on what it means to move toward visibility with self-compassion, support, and nervous-system safety.This conversation is for anyone standing at the threshold between hiding and expression, especially if your desire to create feels inseparable from your fear.In this episode, we explore:• How Mer's path through cancer, grief, and spiritual change led her more deeply into writing • Why poetry asks to be experienced slowly, from “the neck down” • The fear that can arise around sharing honest creative work • How fear can disguise itself so well that you don't even know what you really want • The role of coaching, publishing support, and self-compassion in helping creative work come into form • The connection between chronic pain, stress, visibility, and self-expression • What it looks like to move at the pace your body actually needs • Why expression can be part of aliveness, healing, and becoming more fully human About Mer:Mer Monson fell in love with writing during a cancer adventure in 2015, and has studied Method Writing since 2019. She is the author of For the Wounded, Reality Bathed in Hope and a featured author in Stories from the Muses. Her essays and poems have been published in Shark Reef, Adanna, Method Writers Speak, Exponent II, and Say More.Her past adventures include time as a K–12 school counselor, adult educational counselor, Advanced BodyTalk practitioner, and Master Transformational Coach. She loves every flavor of flying and lives with her husband and three sons in the Rocky Mountains of Cedar Hills, Utah.Find Mer here:• Website: www.mermonson.com• For the Wounded: available via Mer's website, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble • Substack: Mer Monson on Substack Connect with Anna• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anna_holtzman/• Website: https://www.annaholtzman.com/• Free workshop — Let Yourself Be Seen: https://www.annaholtzman.com/beseen

“Perfection is the devil. Growth means a greater capaciousness, not a narrowing and an optimisation.” — Daniel SmithDon't feel bad about feeling bad. That's the message of Daniel Smith's therapeutic new book, Hard Feelings: Finding the Wisdom in Our Darkest Emotions. Smith — psychotherapist, anxiety memoirist, married Brooklynite — wants to rescue boredom, envy, shame, and regret from the category of emotions that are supposed to shame us. The things that bore us most — raising children, long marriages, breakfast with your spouse for the two thousandth time — are also the most meaningful. Boredom, Smith argues, is the price we pay for meaning. Our darkest emotions aren't quite as dark as we fear. Five Takeaways•       Boredom Is the Price of Meaning: The things that bore us most — raising children, long marriages, eating breakfast with your spouse for the two thousandth time — are also the most meaningful. Repetition is boring. But that's where the connection, the love, and the main event reside. Boredom is a sign that meaning is nearby.•       Perfection Is the Devil: Growth means greater capaciousness, not narrowing and optimisation. Smith sees patients who want to perfect themselves out of their own emotions. The feelings that trouble them make perfect sense given the conditions of their lives. Real psychotherapy isn't a quick fix. It's about deep change, and deep change is uncomfortable.•       Social Media Is an Envy Engine: The leaders of early consumer capitalism discovered that stoking envy drives economic growth. Edward Bernays, Freud's nephew, was the architect. Social media put it on steroids. The result: people constantly questioning whether their own lives are alright. Smith is far more worried about Mark Zuckerberg than about psychotherapists who write books.•       His Father Heard Voices for Decades and Kept It Secret: He met none of the diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia. But the culture thought hearing voices was prototypically insane. Smith's first book argued the border between sanity and insanity is far more porous than we think. Rilke said it best: it's so often in the way we name things that we go wrong.•       AI Chatbots Are Inherently Sycophantic: You go to AI for clinical services and what you get is straight validation. These systems have been built to please. There are documented cases of AI psychosis — where sycophantic validation led people into actual delusion. AI can give the illusion of empathy. It cannot deliver the real thing. About the GuestDaniel Smith is a psychotherapist and writer based in Brooklyn.

Were the Old and New Testaments written at the same time? Are their stories a continuous historical saga, or a parallel version of the same priest-system? Questions this big require evidence, and in this episode we continue exploring the book of Exodus and Moses for the fingerprints of the universal monomyth and astro-theological implications.
