SPREAD: Killing My Muse
Recently I responded to another author's journal about "Why Do YOU Write?. She responded. I responded back. One of the things that came out of that back and forth was this

Sometimes I wonder... if we have muses, if we don't also have enemies of our muse. Those thought patterns that continually try to tear us down. In Tarot reading, I call these "old tapes" and they seem to be related to our own feelings of inadequacies that are usually (not always, but usually) fed by our own dark selves.


Then I said, "Hmmm...and now I am seeing a need for a Tarot spread that answers the question "Am I Killing My Own Muse". Well FINE! Lol. I guess now I have a mission."

Killing My Muse creation detailed here. I set the timer to post it at 12:01am MST 6/4/2008 so if you are up late (coughjazaileencough), you may have to wait a bit.

I love this!

The idea of a muse-enemy is something that I havent thought of in those terms but it makes perfect sense. I just posted a list in my own lj and added some verbage about watching too much tv and being on the internet too much...this kinda echoes that idea of a muse-killer - those things that creep in and tell us that there are other things to do besides be creative.

Love this!
