Physicists and art researchers stumble upon an impossible coincidence repeated all over the world. Is plasma proof we live in an electric universe? And did the ancients know the truth about the cosmos millennia before today's scientists rediscovered it? A protective Assyrian statue is buried for decades to shield it from war. What strange features did it have that point to an advanced past culture? From strange symbols and magic worship to modern morality and inventions, this Edge of Wonder Live will take you on a deep dive nobody else is going on. See you out on the edge!

I had artist Jordan K. Walker on today and it just so happens that he's the newest addition to Medicine Man Gallery. I don't get to take new artists on very often, especially younger artists (he's only 28, but he paints a lot older). You see, Jordan trained at the Rhode Island School of Design and then came out to the West after he graduated. He was already a naturalist, but since moving westward he's really just fallen in love with the plants,  animals, and the landscape out here. We're going to have our first show for him later this year (October 2023) and this podcast provided a wonderful opportunity to get to really know Jordan. There are going to be a lot of great things that come from this kid. I say "kid" because he is, as far as I'm concerned, a kid in the world of Western art. That being said, this young man is all in and he's got the skills now that most artists need decades of time and effort to develop. The thing is, Jordan has this old-school feel to him and you can sense it right off the bat in the podcast. I recognized it and it's not just me. Others can see it as well, from storied artists to experienced art collectors. I know for a fact if you pay attention to the world of Western art, you'll definitely be seeing him around.

If you think of cave paintings, you think of animals and handprints and dark caves. But have you ever wondered who was behind those prehistoric works of art? You probably immediately assumed men, and you wouldn't be alone in that. However, recent studies have found that nearly 75% of the handprints found in most primitive caves were women leading to immediate outrage from many researchers... and why? Why is the default always believed to be men? Today we talk about the reasons women are believed to be pre-historic artists, why they haven't, gender roles throughout history, and also talk about the subjects of cave paintings and the famous female venus figurines. Article by Hall RockefellerEpisodes Like This One: Kenojuak Ashevak, Angel de Cora, Gertrude Käsebier, Why have there been no great women artists?Follow us on Instagram @morethanamuse.podcast

I've known Stanley Krippner since the mid-1990s, when he invited me to join him on a three week trip to Brazil. He's a world-famous researcher and author who has has hung out with everyone from Timothy Leary to Alan Watts to the Grateful Dead. He and I have traveled together to all over the planet, from a shamanism conference in Bavaria to a Psychoneuroimmunology conference in Buenos Aires to an adventure in search of the desert spirits in Morocco. We entered the “Sistine Chapel of Prehistoric Art” together at Lascaux, France and visited religious scholars in Kerala, India. I'm leaving out A LOT. He's been a close friend for 25 years, and was one of the first (and most frequent) guests on the podcast. Here are links to previous episodes: 5, 24, 82, 169, 211 (with Wim Hof), and 263. He celebrated his 90th birthday yesterday. This conversation was recorded (with Anya Kaats) recently. As you'll hear, he's sharp as ever and full of wisdom and humor.Intro music “Brightside of the Sun,” by Basin and Range. “A Memory from a Past Life Keeps Calling Me Back,” by The KLF; Outro: “Homens,” by Manu Chao.And now for something extra, just for Substack subscribers, Stan discussing gender and sexuality from an anthropological perspective: This is a public episode.

Art is as old as humanity. I have often said that art is what defines us as human. It is why and how we got out of the trees. The ability to express ourselves creatively is what allows humans to come together, to understand each other, to envision a better future. While prehistoric art predates recorded history and therefore we have no artist's statements giving us certainty into the intentions behind these works, we do see clues in the designs, the materials used by the aritsts, and the placement of the pieces. My 5 favorite prehistoric pieces (links to episodes of Who ARTed when applicable): The world's oldest artwork - handprint fossils The Apollo 11 Stones The Running Horned Woman Stonehenge The Lascaux Cave Paintings Art Smart is an Airwave Media Podcast.

A reading of my poem on the prehistoric painted caves of France and Spain, "Chauvet, Lascaux, Altamira," from the book Bone Antler Stone. You can buy the book here, and read reviews and essays about the book here. My favorite books on these caves are listed below. For some reason, many of them are hard to find or by now are inordinately expensive. The best general introductions to prehistoric art that are affordable include Prehistoric Art: The Symbolic Journey of Humankind, by Randall White, and Paul Bahn's Cambridge Illustrated History of Prehistoric Art. If you can find the following at your library, they are well worth a look: Lascaux: Movement, Space and Time, by Norbert Aujoulat The Cave of Altamira, edited by Pedro A. Saura Ramos Return to Chauvet, by Jean Clottes Becoming Human: Innovation in Prehistoric Material Culture, edited by Colin Renfrew and Iain Morley. Any comments, or suggestions for readings I should make in later episodes, can be emailed to humanvoiceswakeus1@gmail.com. I assume that the small amount of work presented in each episode constitutes fair use. Publishers, authors, or other copyright holders who would prefer to not have their work presented here can also email me at humanvoiceswakeus1@gmail.com, and I will remove the episode immediately.

Episode 1 takes the listeners to the magical cave art of our prehistoric folk. Cave paintings are openings to our understanding of our current day ritualistic practices through those that existed 10,000 years ago. Many stories will unfold through the first pieces of art ever created within the modern day Indian subcontinent. You will be surprised to know that we are not very different from our prehistoric ancestors, when it comes to preserving our well being. The Indian Art History series is hosted by Ayushi Chaurasia, an archivist and a collagist.

Lama Hourani (@lamahourani and @lamahouranijewelry) is a Jordanian jewelry designer who grew up in the country's capital, Amman, with artistically-minded entrepreneurial parents who founded private art gallery Foresight 32, when she was a just girl. When a silversmith jeweler came asking for work at the gallery, during the Iraq war, her mother took him in and they turned their small gallery kitchen into a workshop and that is how Lama found her passion. Lama launched her line of silver jewelry in 2000. An artist and designer, Lama talks about her creative process, her studies and friendship with previous guest of the show Paolo Ferrarini, who taught her a class which marked her, about "emotional geography". She talks candidly about her challenges gaining an international reputation as a Jordanian brand and how important it is for her that young Arab men and women are able to see successful brands, like hers from the Middle East, making it big internationally. Named a Young Global Leader at the World Economic Forum for her commitment in supporting women in Jordan since the early days of her company, Lama offers her views on building bridges between people and cultures and creating universal languages through her designs. The mother of gorgeous twins, Matteo and Dalila, aka Lamoncitos, offers generous insights into her journey in cultural entrepreneurship and, well, the difficulties of juggling growing an independent brand with the demands of motherhood. A beautiful conversation which hopefully will inspire another generation of talented, bright and socially impactful creatives.

How do artists make discoveries? It often means going deep into the cave we fear to enter....at least we are often afraid to enter it as an adult. Kids love to explore things adults find scary. We know too much and limit ourselves. "The creative adult is the child who survived" - I love this quote by Ursula K. LeGuin and the idea that my adult self has just been a vehicle for my child spirit to have an experience here. If we can bring that child along for the whole ride...without killing them off or losing them to trauma...you have a creative adult. Of course...I believe you can revive that child no matter what. In this episode we consider this idea, while learning about the art that started it all, cave art. Discover more at THIS LINK. There you will find a recap of suggested practices, curated content...including my playlist around this theme...where to RSVP for our Thursday meetup and how to get in touch.

Welcome back to another 5 minutes with Bad Ass Women from Art History. In this episode we are starting at the beginning of the Art History timeline (AKA Ancient and Prehistoric Art) and looking at Women's roles in making, collaborating and being discredited (eye roll) in the creation of Art.

This week’s guest is Bernie Taylor, whose novel interpretation of ancient cave paintings suggests an overlooked and deeply significant alternative take on the subjective experience and world-space of prehistoric human culture. Finding animals hidden in the interplay of paint and rock forms unnoticed by other archeologists, and corresponding with a diverse array of experts over decades (including legendary animal researcher George Gamow), he argues that these murals depict a heroic journey across continents, the crossing of the Iberian Peninsula, an ancient rite of passage coded in time and story that, if accepted by the scholarly community, would transform our understanding of our ancestors.Bernie’s Website: beforeorion.comWe Discuss:• How Bernie noticed an entire parade of African and European animals in the El Castillo’s Cave of Disks that no one had seen before;• The ancient animal versions of the constellations that became the modern ones (crocodile > Draco, great auk > Cygnus, etc.);• The prehistoric origins of the Twelve Trials of Hercules and the origins of the monster from misinterpreted shamanic lore;• Did the ancients really use cave art to track the precession of the equinoxes?• How Bernie reconstructed the ancients’ mapping of the annual calendar to various animal life cycle markers and visible stars;• Was the El Castillo mural testing for the ability to find hidden images - evidence of a shamanic apprentice’s ability to think differently?• The role of neurodiversity in prehistoric AND modern human society, and how that may relate to the function, not dysfunction, of dyslexia and autism;• How this initiatic journey is the earliest record we have of the heroic monomyth, which modern secular artists like Billy Joel continue to express even without knowing why these archetypes persist in human dream and story;• What we might learn from these ancient stories, and the minds of those who made them, to inform our strategies for an(other) era of massive change on Earth;“Modern art isn’t even modern art.

  Prehistoric art, like Cave paintings and rock art, are windows into cultures before written history. In addition to the obvious historical integrations, there are so many great Prehistoric Art science integrations like the study of caves, geology, and paint materials. Join us today as we explore Prehistoric art and the many different ways to teach about it. Here's the Show Notes: https://ridgelightranch.com/prehistoric-art-podcast-28/
