“ INTERVIEWER: You have said that writing is a hostile act; I have always wanted to ask you why. JOAN DIDION: It’s hostile in that you’re trying to make somebody see something the way you see it, trying to impose your idea, your picture. It’s hostile to try to wrench around someone else’s mind that way. Quite often you want to tell somebody your dream, your nightmare. Well, nobody wants to hear ab...

Like many others right now, I’m starting to feel caged in by social media. I’ve got a bad case of digital zoochosis because I’ve been relying too heavily on my online spaces to feed my need for connection and help me spread my creative chaos to all the little chaos gremlins and creative alchemists looking to sprinkle some fairy dust on their own inner and outer worlds. So I’ve been looking for way...

Today, I’m releasing one of April’s YouTube videos, ‘Just me and the everything.’ I've been sinking into deeper levels of flow than I even thought possible. today I talk about learning to balance the active and passive aspect of creativity, meditation, stream of consciousness, and how to get the most out of those juicy receptive states so you can make your most inspired work with ease. Creative wo...

Today, I’m releasing one of April’s YouTube videos, Eat the Flame. Here, I’m talking about learning how to slow down, rest, and let my imagination unfold. I had an emotional breakthrough in meditation one day when my mind was resisting rest but my body was crying out for it. It just reinforced for me that learning how to relax and do nothing—truly nothing—is mission critical. Many of us wonder why...

Hypersigil magick? Astral travel / active imagination? Becoming the source of inspiration? Building a habit of creating? Being exclusionary as a form of magnetism and rizz? Aspiring to Greatness as an artist? Being insular—detaching from people and politics and identity groups—to preserve your creative voice/vision? We'll talk about all these things and more in this episode of 'deranged woman rant...

from Substack: I find myself growing extremely weary of most creativity coaching and content that I see. Regularly, I happen upon articles and posts promising to relieve you of blocks and obstacles you have only convinced yourself are there. I hate to spoil the whole article for you right at the outset, but what is actually stopping you from writing a random collection of words and images into you...

Article for over the Graynbow August 25, 2024 I saw the house in my dreams. It looked exactly like I remembered it and nothing like before. It was larger, more broken down. I walked on thin boards, suspended below high ceilings, cracking beneath me. I felt my ghosts. And then I awoke and saw him—a green flash, tall and large as the bedroom door he stood in front of, the sound of a human voice in t...

Finally releasing this podcast I recorded a couple months ago on the magick of making random, unpolished, intuitive art and opening yourself up to other ways of knowing, other modes of processing, and the ineffable aspect of your internal alchemy. We think of the process of developing ideas as being exclusively intellectual, rational, conscious . But when we think of the creative process that way,...

Today I’m talking about the non-linear, sometimes lengthy journey to a consistent creative practice—the long living and dying process it takes to get to regular communion with Spirit by way of your Genius. The way your creative practice itself actually transforms and terraforms you—killing off parts of Self that oppose your aims and recycling them. Because you didn’t think you were just gonna burs...

Today, I’m prattling on about why you shouldn’t bother waiting for “inspiration” when you can ignite your curiosity. Let’s talk about how our tiny, boring, “unaesthetic” fascinations—explored through creative media—can lead us to our larger purpose. And your purpose isn’t some kind of static, compact mission statement—it’s a felt sense, it’s your evolving desire, and it has a million different exp...

Today, I want to talk about why all the ease and flow girlies are dead wrong about discipline. Discipline, to me, is a process of reconnecting with your internal fuel sources. It’s not about suppressing your emotions and getting to work because Daddy Capitalism said so. It’s about being in alignment with your deeper desires and feeling through the resistance that comes up around creative work inst...

Today, we’re chatting about why your art practice isn’t about making art at all. I talk about what it actually means to fully absorb into your inner world and how hypersigil work can help you build momentum and energy to actually do that art-making part you’re all so crazy about! We’ll also discuss a little bit of how breaking up with your healing journey and embracing your “unhealed” present thro...

In this episode, Gray gabs about the Void—what the Void is , different ways you can work with the Void, microdosing vs macrodosing the Void, and how making friends with the emptiness and flexing your imagination muscle can supercharge your creative practice. If you want to really absorb into your inner world, you have to receive and appreciate the art you’re constantly co-creating with the univers...
