To me, there is great value for artists in engaging our inner genius at the level of personhood, seeing it as a spirit in its own right, while developing the ability to evoke it at will, and becoming a receptive vessel through which its daimonic force can move and create.

Re-rooting our creative practice within an animist framework also means engaging with ideas and images as if they possess a life of their own.

Art: The Pomps of the Subsoil (1947) by Leonora Carrington

When we court inspiration, enter into dialogue with it, and birth it forth into being, we too are consorting with spirits. Only through us can their incorporeal nature gain power and influence in the material realm.
