Pam presents “Magic Maker: Artist as Magician” at Lily Dale’s Symposium curated by Shannon Taggart
Artists are Magic Makers. They embody the archetype of the Magician, becoming a bridge between realms, and collaborating with invisible entities to conjure their work. Using the power of their craft, they bring Creative Force into intentional form—and their imaginations quite literally change the world around them. Creative people often speak of being channels for inspiration, while others refer to communing with their muse. For many, this is more than mere metaphor, as artists throughout history have employed magical techniques to tap into their creativity, express powerful messages, and make contact with the sacred. In this illustrated presentation, author and host of the podcast The Witch Wave Pam Grossman explores the deep relationship between creativity and magic, putting forth the idea that they are perhaps one and the same.
