Poets and playwrights of old would invoke the muses to inspire them.

Socrates claimed that a spirit spoke in his ear and taught him right from wrong.

Even Dante invokes the muses, and later Apollo, but the spirit that he perhaps truly derived inspiration from was the Holy Spirit.

Do you invoke spiritual powers to help you in your writing, /lit/?

it was something they invented to not be responsible for their creations.

>not motivated?
allas, the muse isn't paying me any visits lately

>wrote something edgy
the spirits guided me

the idea of an external force takes away all the pressure on the artist. they can just claim they're merely the medium trough which the deities speak to humanity.

pretty cowardly

today's spirits are "motivation" and "inspiration". very mystic creatires that usually hide. their biggest enemy is a deity called "procrastination"
