Call upon the Muses to unearth the imagination inside your vast inner being and they will answer your pleading with the plucking of lyres and the strumming of guitars. Call upon them; your intuition is telling you to do so. For they have graced the earth with music and dancing, and reside over the arts and over poetry. And they have graced Homer, Hesiod, Shakespeare, and many others with the exceptional gift of poetry, thus they have remained immortal throughout the centuries.
Blessed is the mortal whom the Muses happened to favor. On his birth, they would pour delicate dew on his tongue so that gentle words could come out of his mouth. All nations would then hang on his lips, respect him and treat him like a god, since only his decisions would result to justice and put an end to hassles.
To anyone who was in mourning or falling into decay, the Muses would sympathize and sent out a singer to praise the glory of gods and mortals; immediately, the sad one would forget about his sorrow and would turn happy again by listening to the blessed sweet voice.
If you wish for a beautiful voice and the talent for epic poetry, call upon Calliope.
If you desire the knowledge and discovering of our immense history throughout the centuries and the ability to write heroic poetry, seek the acquaintance of Clio.
If you yearn for the gift of music and lyric poetry, meditate upon the musings of Euterpe.
If you long for emergence of tragedy, to be pushed up to the state of emergency, and conversely be a songstress as well, portray the christening of Melpomene’s kinship.
If you love the resonance of choral songs and the agility of dance, inquire Terpsichore.
If you love the splendid gift of love, and wish to express your love through poems, follow Erato and she shall make you desired and worthy to be loved among men.
If you wish to excel in the areas of sacred poetry, geometry, mime, meditations, and agriculture, show devotion to Polyhymnia, who has been known to inspire writers with a distinction whose works have won them immortal fame.
If you are mystified by the outer limits, the stars exploding in the sky at night and the moon glimmering in the sky, and wish to know all you can about astronomy, search the galaxy for the face of Urania.
If you love the lightness of heart and the charm of comedy, welcome Thalia as your friend.
Tap into your inner Muse. Every woman has a Muse inside of them; everyone has the creativity, imagination, originality, uniqueness, and the vision to accomplish great works of art. For me, the Muses Calliope, Euterpe, Terpsichore, and Urania have blessed me with the aspiration for music, dance, poetry, and astronomy. All I have to do is surrender to them and they will grant me everything I need to produce my magnum opus, my artistic masterpiece.
“Call the Muses home. Seek those images that constitute the wild, the lion and the virgin, the harlot and the child. Find in middle air an eagle on the wing, Recognize the five that make the Muses sing.”
Modern Day Muses: Bjork, Kokia, Origa, Natasha Khan, Amiina, Karin Andersson, Drea Drury, Yoko Kanno, etc.
