This book has something for anyone who feels the need for creative inspiration. The Muses are the Ancient Greek goddesses of poetry, song, music, and dance, and have long been called upon by writers, musicians and anyone engaged in the arts. In Pagan Portals - The Muses, Irisanya Moon offers a well-researched look at their history and mythology, and offers practical ways to honour them and ask for their aid. You can meet them via trance and meditation; work with them via writing, painting, or music; perform a ritual in their honour; or simply get to know them better and learn the stories told about them. Irisanya Moon also looks at the role of the Muses in our contemporary world and ways we can find inspiration in everyday life. -- Lucya Starza, author of Pagan Portals books on Candle Magic, Poppets and Magical Dolls, Scrying, and Rounding the Wheel of the Year, and the novel Erosion.
