The Shamanic Call to Artists [feat. Terence McKenna]

---

Song, dance, sculpture, poetry… out of the domain of a genuine relationship to the transcendent. shamans in all times and places gain their power through relationships with helping spirits,

the acquisition of a relationship to a disincarnate
intelligence is the precondition for authentic shamanism.

That artists, very thinly spread tradition of the muse.
are given permission to talk in terms of “my inspiration,”
or “a voice which told me to do this,”
or “a vision that must be realized.”

the thin thread of shamanic descent into our profane world
leads through the office of the artist.

And magic and art are the special province of something else.
I could name it, but I won’t. It prefers to be unnamed, I think.

how seriously are we to take this obligation to follow
this shamanic thread back into time?
it is a matter of saving our own souls.
And somehow, the artists need to recover this sense of mystery.

By slicing into messages of McKenna from books,
images, articles & lectures, mind-bending coincidences emerge
that otherwise would have remained invisible
