The Liminal Cauldron of Creative Magic; On - Astrology, Creativity, and the Praxis of Play | Amaya Rourke
Description
This week, we are welcoming guest Amaya Rourke, astrologer, ritualist, artist, teacher, and writer residing in the northwest of the Republic of Ireland. Her work is guided by her animistic land-based spiritual and magical practice, helping her to return to and reveal the wild and creative terrestrial origins of astrology and mythopoetics. In this episode, Amaya shares with us her theories on creativity and praxis in regards to her aspirations in guiding clients towards the cultivation of a deeply nourishing and co-creative relationship with the quiet rumbling of deep enchantment and living art of the more-than-human world. In what ways is our art our children? What does it mean to be dead while alive? How might we fully embody the nature of our own authentic vulnerabilities? What can go wrong when our art, as our children, begin to be perceived by others as a commodifiable object? What does it look like to speak to someone soul to soul and how might we cultivate thresholds of safety for ourselves and others? What does it mean to be in a state of flow? All this and more, on today's episode of SaturnVox.
