Author Patricia Daly-Lipe, Ph.D., brings an expanded and updated new edition of her 1999 incisive book about creativity. “Myth, Magic, and Metaphor – A Journey into the Heart of Creativity” is a luminous manual with oracular wisdom about the nature and sources of creativity.
Offering a multifaceted examination of human creativity and the mystical forces behind it, the book explores the fundamental premise that each person contains a creative muse waiting to be set free. Written to be an explorative voyage into the nerve center of imagination and creativity, “Myth, Magic, and Metaphor” is, at heart, a book about awakening each individual’s artistic journey.
In the book, Daly-Lipe calls to attention the increased disconnectedness from the intuitive aspect of the psyche due to society’s cognitive and technical nature today. Her book encourages people to “experience the sense of wonder we knew as children, to use our imagination to feel and absorb the world around us, to listen, not just to hear, to see, not just to look; in sum, to become intoxicated with life.”
Once readers get over the surprising revelation that creativity is a journey with no end, they begin to appreciate the nuances of human creativity – it is a light with no structure or limits. However, despite being a voyage of discovery, the book is not written to provide answers; instead, it provokes questions and ignites the imagination while examining various components of the creative process – history, art, literature, philosophy, mathematics, and music.
Born from her years of teaching creative writing, the author and educator explains that her goal is to help people appreciate the most valuable aspect of creative writing, which is the process, not the product. “It is the journey, not the destination; the creating, not the created,” she says.
“Myth, Magic, and Metaphor – A Journey into the Heart of Creativity” is a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of human creativity and guidance on awakening their aesthetic sense.
