I gave birth to my muse, my beautiful daughter. Before she was born I had put down drawing and painting for maybe 10+ years. Now that she's here, I want to draw and paint. She inspires me to create! Thank God. She draws too.🥲💕💕💕🌞🙏🏼💕💕💕
Oh yess, having my baby made my life like from black and white to technicolor. Mother’s love so pure it was a spiritual experience. Divine Love. Blew my mind.
I think that a portrait or any type of artwork depicting the muse says a lot more about the artist than it does the muse himself / herself . You need to be comfortable letting people project their own stories on you .
I would say both are true. But absolutely, the artist says something about themselves and the sitter without even being conscious of that. It’s one of the most fascinating things I think in art. You’re unwittingly an open book, and a trained eye can read who you are at your core from your work.
I love this. I think my favorite muse..muses? Musi? Haha. My favorite are saint-like, because they tend to see us all as one anyway. They understand that we are all projections of one another and thus, without judgement, accept our projections with unconditional love. For those who lean into the role of "muse" as a way to hide in plain sight, we see titles like "the tragic life of *so and so*". Maybe the most defining aspect of a muse is the origin of their detachment (trauma vs faith).
you mean universe right? if done correctly with proper methodology and correspondence etc. anything is possible even effecting the past.And this is scientific know and can be measured,the past can be acted lets say.Its not set but more in A super position,future also.If you ever look into it/ OR seen.bOTH FREE will/choice and destiny Fate all co-exist,CAN BE MEASURE AND OBSERVED.all about your attitude etc. cant say to much.
The depth and substance of this compliment really gave me another perspective of love. Thank you and I couldn't agree with your comment about her more, she's so spot on with the observing things
Absolutely. Dance helps me realize things in my movement that are connected to thought patterns or behaviors that do not serve me, thought encoded in movement..by seeing the movement I can identify the thought instead of trying to figure things out any other way.
you dont have to dance other ways its not the best way ,its all about vibration frequency etc. more like a sport.I use different method,more like walking on water
I call its walking not the spirit and you must learn how to fall away from oneself but be careful not sure how it works for others.Im still in my body I dont do anything out of body stuff,also you can develop spiritual ears and eyes from such process.things will glow or the world almost like a pop or snap or an object will.Which is key
man. i did not realize how disconnected i was to my artistic side until i saw this video. spending my hours in a room of men (college student, computer science) has actually made me so robotic like & disconnected. wow. thank you. you might be my saving grace for actually connecting with my childlike self as an artist again 😢💖
Can I talk to you I have so many creative inspiration ideas for computer science and I am not there yet to be in that field but working on tryna use my life experience and convert it into computer applications etc
I just graduated from grad school for data science last month and I did not realize how stagnant I had gotten in terms of sensuality 😅 hang in there and incorporate your creativity when you can 🫶🏾
My harp teacher saw me as “his muse”, writing me songs and once i was 18 it also got sexual. Since then the whole muse thing is kinda icky for me, because mostly it’s a male artist and a female muse. I dont want to be anybodies muse. I want to be an artist, I want to be music. But your video essay kind of made me understand that you can be both. You can create and inspire other people to create.
@@Nana-oe4hs It wasn't one sided this girl obviously had feelings for the guy or else it wouldn't got sexual. A lot of women are f****** stupid when it comes to guys at a young age if they don't have a proper Father figure or a proper male role model. Play music supposed to be your ego Avatar your other half of your spirit now you're f****** soulmate. A lot of women and men are lost nowadays and in all honesty the past two generations of men and women are useless. I want to be an artist why don't you f****** be an artist then.😂😂 You don't need to have some dip s*** by your hand by your side to do art
Same with my 7th grade guitar teacher!! He would write songs about me and call me “the prettiest girl in school” in front of the whole class. Looking back at it now it creeps me out.
I just realized that I've rarely, if ever, listened to women discuss philosophical and intellectual topics. It's always been men (or women in the company of men discussing these topics). This experience is so different and refreshing-like viewing a nude painting of a woman created by a female artist. If that makes sense? I'm only three minutes in and already subscribed. I'm hooked. Thank you.
this comment is GOLD. There are so many men in the world sharing their thoughts on everything... I always wonder where the BIG and FAMOUS female podcasters are ... the ones on the level of Joe Rogan etc. Maybe they are out there and I'm just not tapped into it. Either way, this is the sort of content I want more of and I think the world needs more of. I'm so glad I found this channel recently.
@@MarcellinaMoon I feel like it’s because women are afraid to have an intense presence or have hard opinions on things. And if we do, we are seen as dramatic or overly opinionated. Sometimes, for me at least, it almost seems primal? I love the sound of a man’s voice. But female voices are growing on me. I think it’s that I don’t like female voices that are overly put on? Like too overly “nice girl, unproblematic girl, just go along to get along-girl”. Celine isn’t like that. Anyway, I digress. Glad to see you and so many others relate!
A perfect muse is the embodiment of a missing piece, a lost puzzle, the envy of an artist. This muse possesses a beauty the artist finds outside himself, a beauty he does not realize he lacks until he encounters it. A perfect muse is not easily understood, almost an odd occurrence, a curiosity the artist seeks to uncover because it represents what he lacks. The perfect muse is someone the artist loves, obsesses over, and desires to possess. This inability to be what the muse represents is expressed on canvas, in pages, carved, and composed. A perfect muse triggers a deep need in the artist to create.
This inspired me to be my own muse and recreate myself multiple times over. To truly accept and obsess over myself. And create mini different versions of me and express me in my all my art forms. To let myself take multiple forms in this lifetime.
The true artist is always in love. He is consumed by this infatuation that never wanes. He believes the magic comes from the Muse, and he becomes obsessed with her. But the Muse is just a mirror. The magic actually comes from the artist himself and he inadvertently projects it on whoever happens to be the Muse of the Day.
my ex used to call me his muse . He’s a musician and when we were together I would hear a lot of our conversations in his music or just something that I said in passing . I thought it was rlly beautiful.
I had a Muse in my life called Sofia. For me she is not even a human, she is a concept, an ethereal idea, an ethereal palace, the atmosphere of another world that is subtle but alchemizes without being predictable. A consciousness that operates from its own laws of love and understanding. Muses are like an artistic album like lana del rey. You listen to once and you wanna keep coming back to revisit the perfected work of details and metaphors and analogies in just one person. Its not obsession. Its devotion, dedication of life to feeding the idea they create. You described them so well. Love you
Mine was a good friend with whom I had a brief relationship, but stayed friends with over the years. She was wicked smart, definitely had her own ideas about virtually everything and was insatiably curious about things. We'd discuss whatever subject, she'd ask questions , make points and just inspire me to go with my projects into different directions. It got to the point that my brain would automatically start firing with creative ideas when I was around her, even if we weren't discussing anything deep. I was always saw the concept of a muse as a romantic notion that was more connected to a desire for the subject than really having much effect on creativity. She made me question that idea, appropriately enough.
i’ve been given the “muse” treatment by people and it’s sooo creepy, being always observed and obsessed over is alienating bc you just end up wishing you could have a normal conversation and be treated normally, i think i give off the “self-possessed” impression to other people bc i’m not great at conversation and a bit socially anxious
I’m glad I read this comment, because I didn’t realize what I was experiencing, but you put it into words. It’s like they’re never listening to you, just watching you talk. 🫠 So being smart is annoying to those who don’t want to learn from an object made solely for observation purposes
So I’m an artist, and it sounds like you’ve been around some pretty shallow people to me. Sure, I will ask a muse to sit for me, once I know them, but without the ability to spend hours in long and intelligent conversation, to share cinema and literature and music and THEIR interests too I don’t find a person interesting enough to even want to paint them, let alone call them my muse. Weird… there is an element of elevating the subject inherent to the idea of a muse, but being put solely (or primarily) on a pedestal is objectifying, and possessive, which is probably why you’ve found it ‘creepy’ in your experience. I don’t know, most of my muses (Im an old guy now, so been around the block a few times) have actually been fellow artists of some kind as well…
I bet. One time this nice man came to the place I worked wanting to sell his art and even ask for a photo of me. I thought that was kinda odd and I respectfully turned down the offer. I think he wanted to use me as a muse. The last thing I have ever wanted is to idolized in some art museum. 🤣
I believe that when people try to manufacture a muse-like persona, this desire is ego-based and the result which you describe as "solipsistic" might otherwise be described as "surrender" in someone who is inherently magnetic. Or at least this is what I am attracted to in those I consider muse-worthy. They are embodying less of this narcissistic need bred from insecurity and more so, as you described, a child-like ability to connect (surrender) to their own souls, authentic joy, their own well of abundance. The over-indulgence in the business of others isn't necessarily a virtue, though we like to think it is. Then again, my muses are usually saint-like, so this might not translate for another. Perhaps our muses represent the archetype we are most longing to embody ourselves (or that which we are most suppressing)? Fun channel!
Excellent observation. I completely agree. A true muse - a true artist - is inspiring because of their own inner connection to the divine and how the divine breathes through their expression through their surrender to their divine essence. True art can never come from ego - that's why there is so much stuff labeled art, which is actually just empty reverberations of copies of copies on copies upon copies. True art comes from the soul, and allows others to reconnect to theirs - this is the purpose of the artist. To allow others to reconnect to their soul through their art. It is an act of ultimate service to the divinity in all of us, our true nature. The ultimate rebellion in a world that lost its heart and mind. The ultimate Yes to life. And yes, therefore is marked by surrender to the highest order, which is love. I just found this channel today and I am literally freaking out about the fact that for the first time ever I have come across not just one being like myself, but a whole bunch of us? I am awestruck. It literally feels like coming home. So healing.
To me, this is one of those classic cases of, “You see things not as they are, but as you are.”. I think in pursuing the muse, you’re becoming the muse. And simultaneously, this almost seems like a parody or satire of art. I’m drawing a still life while listening. 😌 thanks for the interesting ideas
Former art model here. I'm so grateful for your video here. :) Awesome!! I've often thought, (when I did runway or events,) that it wasn't me that people were looking at but they were seeing themselves in me. A muse is a magnetic mirror of others. Others see or sense, in a muse, their own hidden selves. I think muses know this too because they also see the same thing, (usually in an aloof sense lacking any true care.) :) Lovely video! Thank you.
To me or for me, a muse provides energy, ideas, and flat out inspiration. A muse can't take the same shape, and avenue every time because an artist is an ever evolving being. When an artists' environment becomes monotone...... A potential muse can be ever more easy to identify if they are open to sharing their energy.
I was literally going to say...I am on the spectrum and people have treated me like a 'muse' for a long time. More than anything, it feels objectifying and weird. I feel chronically misunderstood by neurotypicals, like I'm some whimsical silly fairy for being direct and true to myself. To be magnetic is really to be mysterious to people who cannot let sleeping dogs lie. I am actually a very genuine, transparent person. The mystery lies in the fact that people think there is something there to uncover, but there isn't. When I say "I want to dance", there is no subtext. Neurotypicals are obsessed with finding and applying subtext/other superfluous meaning to things that often aren't there. They think in grey, and within that grey, they become obsessed with people that think in black & white, or that are capable of thinking 'objectively'. 'Manic pixie dream girl' is the modern muse - an often neurodivergent woman who is attractive, and has people project their obsession of being unique onto a woman who's needs/wants they refuse to understand. To be a muse is to be misunderstood. Josephine Baker, Rita Hayworth, Marilyn Monroe, Twiggy, Grace Jones, Eartha Kitt - each woman was someone's 'muse', but was also very controversial, displaying typical traits of neurodivergence across the board. Taking a retroactive look at their lives, them being neurotypical seems hiiiighly unlikely. There's a pattern of projection onto the 'muse' archetype that seems to start with people's fundamental inability to understand neurodivergent women.
Ive had so many call me their muse and men who either love me obsessively or hate me because they can’t control me. I have so many ideas that I give to so many so sometimes I’m surrounded by those pretending to be interested in me but are instead interested in what comes out of my mouth. It’s exhausting so I retreat a lot. Just me and my dogs.
what a beautiful ode to your friend/muse in the last section! When someone captures me in that way, I can never fully explain it either. I think there will always be a kind of alchemy in the artist-muse relationship, but seeking to understand it is an act of artistic devotion in itself.
I cannot describe how articulate and amazing this video is. The depth of this video is so beautiful and authentic. This is my favorite video I’ve ever watched on TH-cam and beats any podcast out there
Perhaps royalties isn’t the right term. Muses do definitely deserve to be treated, wined and dined on, taken out to lovely dinners. Involving legalities diminishes the ascetic relationship between an artist and their muse. It’s more personable than that.
mine has always been my boyfriend’s older sister…this video hit so close to home. i’ve been obsessed with her since i met her (2020). she’s just so confident and independent and in her own world. she doesn’t let people bother her. she also has the bony finger thing !! i’ve always noticed it. she would wear these bohemian rings that would accentuate her hands. she has red hair and a super mature vibe. i always thought she had a face like the moon with these blue sharp eyes. i cry at the thought of not being her.
the best feeling! i was outside got caught in rain now i’m on my balcony with my wet hair and robe enjoying cup of coffee with my favorite chocolate! and now she posted ❤
As something I’m only aware of now, well in recent years, as only in these older ages of my life., is that the first thing that has always caught me tightly in that instant rush of attraction to a man I’ve never met, never spoken to, from across a room, a crowd of people, on the other side of the street, is his movement and how my body feels his wake through the oxygen between us.
The Muse is the physical embodiment of the artist's passion. It is a symbol of the fire that consumes the artist and drives him to create the beauty that he sees while subordinating every other aspect of his life to a much lower priority. The artist doesn't see this as a sacrifice. He does not evaluate his life, the true artist is never introspective in a practical sense. His peripheral vision is blinded by his obsession to create. He has tunnel vision, and the focus is first and foremost his Muse and his testimony of her, his body of work.
Thanks for your perspective. I took a lot of inspiration from this video. So much of what you said about the muse resonated with me. I had never heard or read anyone express it that way, in the way I was also feeling it. My muse is the inspiration for my paintings, but not all of those paintings are paintings and "of her". Many of them are. She is also the inspiration for and the subject of almost all my poetry. She is not affected by societies beauty norms, her style and carriage is entirely her own. It is not just her beauty that captures me but the way she moves, the sound of her voice. Her very aura. Her essence can never quite be captured but I try
I have a muse, and I know he is a person that exits and not exits at the same time. For looking at him with the eyes of an artist can unravel truths about him, but also create ilusions that come from the wonder and passion a muse inflicts.
your manner of speaking about the subject was so endearing. This video made me aware of all the people who have inspired me to write a song about them or spend half an hour to capture them in a perfect photo on my phone. Love your passion, subscribed!
For me that was a magical nineteen minutes, your interpretation to understanding your muse. I've drawn pictures of my muse, & become so encapsulated by their aura it becomes overwhelming within the process of creating their image. Your descriptive use of language is so exhilarating.
soul + spirit + authenticity + freedom = muse. I know few of them including myself and few of them are mans for me, who inspired me to created some drawings, paintings, songs...bringing whole new points of view to my life, every time I meet them.
"Whenever Patty Smith first saw Eddie Sedwick in a magazine, she said that she seemed entirely self-possesed. As if nobody in the world existed, but her. Every muse needs to be like this. This is what I call the Ethereal Gene. Otherwordly people strike you as being seperate from everone else; not only do they seem seperate -or otherwise entirely alone, in their own universe, just simply coexisting with ours- they seem completely unaffected by our world".
I could follow it until, seem completely unaffected by our world. That's a mental disorder. Even gods weep. It's not a gene. It's drugs. Learn about the god particle. Certain genes do make you bond with it more appropriately. Making it so ur unaffected by our world closing off other ends of experience that would cause the very life that is art to never happen. Its about controlling the reaction to the feeling. Even Hitler threw tantrums before speeches to shape himself for the speech.
@@ChristopherDwigginsexcuse me? Because I quotted a part of the video that stood out to me, I need help?😂 I think it it's obvious who needs help here... Touch some grass dear. You seem to be too angry and deprived❤
I can listen to this over and over again, something about this is such a vibe. the way you describe, your choice of words, the bgm so on. i immediately become your new subscriber! Love this, thank you 🖤
I genuinely love the idea of being in my own world because i have oh so been accused of it many times from literally everyone. Im genuinly so inspired now. Ill do all the shadow work i have been putting off for months heal my inner self and become my own muse now cuz it just sounds so beautiful but i dont want to wait for it to feel loved. It all starts from inside you after all.
This was really well done! I think at a certain point i felt like i was hearing the same thing over and over honestly but i realized that she was fascinated enough in her own right to be observing this topic from so many angles to create graphic from all those different vantage points and all the different ways that you could recognize something worth captivating. 🙌 🙌 your obsession has been inspiring for me today. Thank you and well done!
I needed this video so much. I met my muse and in a beginning I couldn`t explain why I felt like I never felt before. And to be honest I quit my current job because she did and the rest of my time I will dedicate to art because I don`t see any other way how to live. Exactly- some people just inspire you and you can`t live without it anymore.
13:56 I am so excited to see if you talk more about this in later videos. Your ethereal series is such a masterpiece, and everything you have to offer when describing muses is just as intriguing.
I absolutely adore your channel and the way your mind finds ways to express your devotion towards beauty. I highly appreciate your artistry, thank you for another amazing video !
What a beautiful conversation and an even more beautiful setting! I love binging on your videos so much, through them I am getting more educated, more aware but mostly I feel the persistent urge to follow my passions and love on my myself more deeply. Thank you for sharing your views and ways of thinking throughout all the different expressions of yourself Celine. You are incredibly incredibly inspiring.🤍
Thank you for sharing this ❤ It's so surreal to think these videos have an effect on people I've never known. Good fortune to you on your path ahead love.
Someone recently insinuated that they would like me to be their muse. This was a comment from something I had shared. The algorithm picked this up for me and I'm grateful for it because I believe we are born with gifts but we don't always know what they are called and knowing what it's called can allow one to learn so much more about themselves from a video like this. Thank you. xo
For me I almost feel like I am my own muse, it's more of a feeling rather than a person that inspires me and when I feel the need to create it happens. But music also helps me to get into the mood.
Then you haven't met a real muse yet. It isn't possible to be your own muse. The very definition demands the inspiration comes from OUTSIDE of yourself. You will find one eventually.
It feels like I've been turned inside out and told everything I think and feel about it. I have never subscribed to channels with such speed and a desire to know more. 💎
This is not me being narcissistic but I’ve often been told I am a muse, or possessing a manic-pixie dream girl sort of esque. I clicked on this video and I kinda see it. I never felt as I was from this world. I always thought I was from like mars. There are downsides to this, as especially men not viewing you as ‘human’ you’re more of an essence or character than person, which take a toll on one’s mental health. As a female with a neurodivergent brain, adhd spectrum, I view life and people differently. I cannot explain it but this video made so much sense to me. Besides the mispronunciation of Edie’s name this video was brilliant.
6:07 you are completely describing the dichotomy of my mind and the struggle that I'm having. The depressed, wounded mystic, who knows too much and is too fragile. As well as the ditsy, Lightfooted, unaffected beauty who dances by. Cynical, yet youthful and wanting. It drives me and the men around me insane😭
9:39 thank you for this video. You made me see my insanity from a different light. Made me see the good in it. You can't understand hoe much I needed this perspective
im so glad i came across this video! so so genuinely incredible, from the way you string your words together to the lighting and dynamic backgrounds, to the altered audio and angles. beautiful work, beautiful video, beautiful words. recently found a muse and im so incredibly lucky and grateful. i haven't been this obsessed and driven to madness with music in 10+ years and they've got me wanting to capture every color i see when i hear their voice and every emotion i feel when i see them, every poem i can create to capture the view. that relentless thud of a heartbeat, that lighthearted smile like a chenille knit sweater, that sun warmed honey voice, that electric energy when they're on stage singing. god they're just so incredible and ill never be able to fully capture their essence but i won't give up trying
The muse, the manic pixie, the gallions figure head - a woman whose appeal lies in the fact that she is ever elusive. She is really not there at all, hidden away behind a canvas for the observer to project upon. Foolish girl, wanting to be something that is destined to die. For the only eternal life she will ever experience is at the hands of someone else.
Some of my muses do their own creating, so I can’t say that they would be destined to die without me. They inspire me in a way that I’m not sure anyone would discover and I’m sure they will become greater than I could ever be, but yes, they are still elusive.
Many people seem to equate being inspired by the muse with being in love and simply seeing that person through the eyes of love. But these two things, which can sometimes be similar, are in no way the same. Most of the artists are inspired, or even obssessed by a muse, without being in love with them, and most of the people who are in love have no urge to create or to become any type of an artist because of loving someone. Ultimately, it only shows that being touched by the muse APPEARS like love to those who were never touched in that particular way.
My muse broke me. Its been 5 years and she still has her knee in my throat and id still go back for more. Ill still love her even after i die. She truly is my Beatrice
Thank you for explaining all traits!!!! Movement and grace is something so small yet big to viewing a person especially a muse. Another big one I believe is PASSIVE INSPIRATION. From my experience it’s about allowing someone else to be inspired by your nature but also stay grounded in your own (muse) identity and allow the person to create independently, but know you are the literal jump start to a project. This could easily become toxic from an artist stealing work but the muse is grounded in knowing they are the catalyst for the artists nature flow of creation. Thus the muse holds a certain power that the artist must try to catch and translate into art!!!! Real women know how to use this power play and a lot of men not just artists love it
I had two muses in my life. Once in high school my best friend in class. She inspired me crazy. Everything she said and did fascinated me. The way she lived and her relationship with life. She helped me big time on writing my first book. We are still friends. We always had a special connection and she knew she was my muse. I wasn’t her muse but the love we had for each other was equal. And then my second muse was a man I met last year this time. He inspired me so much, I wrote an entire poetry book. He was a dandy, an actor, a dreamer. He worshipped Mother Earth and I envied his relationship with God. That being said, I sometimes enjoy being the muse, but I feel turned off by the people putting me on a pedestal. And to think he feels about me the same way I feel about those who make me a muse, is an ego death I don’t want to face (but I do face, in my poetry) With ripe savory ease you Lick the Halleluja of my foreign softness I, artemisia in manic prime Bloom in poetry . 🌺🌺🌺
A muse is not necessarily a sexual influence. Sometimes sexual contact destroys the connection with a muse. In my life I never desired my muses. They had an unspoken presence, an unattainable eternal thing one can’t put their finger on. It is not visible to anyone else. As an artist they me gave exactly what I needed to complete whatever It was I was working on. Sometimes I didn’t know exactly what that was either. One cannot be a universal muse. Not all artists see or need the same things. When I found someone who met my needs, I never questioned why. She just was. Period. It is akin to a mystery. Once that mystery is revealed it becomes no longer effective. The muse doesn’t even have to have innate beauty or an incredible complexion or hair. But possesses qualities no one else can give an artist. It is what makes the artist repeatedly use the same person again and again. There is an unspoken symbiosis between them.
Thx, I didn't wanna be the asshole to 1st point out this important mistake, truly took away so much from an otherwise lovely commentary on muses. Couldn't get over it
I never understand mispronouncing the name of a subject or partial subject to your content. Especially if it's not a really tough name due to language barriers. She's well known enough that even a small amount of studying/research should have been enough to hear her name a few times. I find it odd on the channels part to get this simple but important detail so wrong. "EDDIE" 😂 jeez
Sedgwick is such a tragic, timeless icon of the sixties. Can see why Warhol was obsessed with her, but Andy, much like Bacon, had a knack for killing the things he loved.
HOLY SHITBALLS!! This is my first time finding your channel as a YT suggestion and I can not even with the chills I got hearing this. Muh goosebumps had goosebumps. Loooook I have tried to tell people over and over, I am REALLY not that attractive, but I know there is something that makes people see me that way anyway. Not everyone, but BOY HOWDY when they do. They all try to make me feel seen or show me... me through their eyes. It is nice, but it always give me THAT... the aww that's nice, thought. THIS guuurl I have never felt so seen and understood. It's like you've gathered all the strange compliments and comments that I have really liked in ways people don't understand and made them into a full description. THANK YOU, QUEEN!!!!!! 🙏 Totally subbed and shared ❤🔥
I randomly stumbled upon this video, and it was amazing. The way you speak and explain things is so captivating. I was able to relate and understand your words and internalize them on a DIFFERENT LEVEL. I find that I may be a sort of a muse myself (not to toot my horn lol), but the words i the beginning describe my personality to a tea and people commonly tell me I should model and compliment my features as being "unique". Thank you for making this as now I know how I should navigate and almost build upon these habits to appear more "muse-like".
I've created my best works when I had a muse...I watched this show called Sandman on Netflix. One episode was about a guy that captured a muse, and locked her up so she wouldn't leave. He produced great works and became rich and famous. Then he released her when he was old and finished. Sad but interesting episode.
@@tahsina.c You can never have the muse though, you just have to admire the muse. So the inspiration stays pure. If it becomes anything more, she becomes a person to you and no longer a muse
@@kingdomcitizenship5613 but Marrie was Picasso's muse like this video highlighted and he had her do how could you watch this video and still say one shouldn't have a muse to him or herself so the muse is pure?
this was completely brilliant. it covered a lot of what i've been dwelling on for ages, not least for the concern that there could be some element of a gendered / misogynistic streak to the male artist / female muse dynamic.
So interesting! You pick the very best themes! I had this effect on people from a very young age, up to early adulthood and funny enough my daughter is exactly like this, she is like a little forest spirit and it has nothing to do with what she wears. She has this happy unbothered Energy and even at her young age boys would just grow themselves at her and she isn’t specifically feminine or anything she has nothing to do with the regular beauty standards! She is just herself up to the tip of her finger! I intend to allow for her to stay that way as long as possible! I also wanted to know if you have eventually some material to read about it? I am searching for the roots of Muses as I believe that they also exist in others cultures and need to understand how they were portrayed before and in other places… the number nine also is very significant
I googled if there was evidence of human contact with the Muses, and bye and bye was lead to translations of ancient Greek manuscripts and other accounts of this subject. It was riveting!
Do what you want and dont explain it.

Oh yess, having my baby made my life like from black and white to technicolor. Mother’s love so pure it was a spiritual experience. Divine Love. Blew my mind.
I think that a portrait or any type of artwork depicting the muse says a lot more about the artist than it does the muse himself / herself .
You need to be comfortable letting people project their own stories on you .
I would say both are true. But absolutely, the artist says something about themselves and the sitter without even being conscious of that. It’s one of the most fascinating things I think in art. You’re unwittingly an open book, and a trained eye can read who you are at your core from your work.
I love this.
I think my favorite muse..muses? Musi? Haha. My favorite are saint-like, because they tend to see us all as one anyway. They understand that we are all projections of one another and thus, without judgement, accept our projections with unconditional love. For those who lean into the role of "muse" as a way to hide in plain sight, we see titles like "the tragic life of *so and so*". Maybe the most defining aspect of a muse is the origin of their detachment (trauma vs faith).
Agree 100%
Yes exactly! The muse must be a “canvas” of sorts.
you mean universe right? if done correctly with proper methodology and correspondence etc. anything is possible even effecting the past.And this is scientific know and can be measured,the past can be acted lets say.Its not set but more in A super position,future also.If you ever look into it/ OR seen.bOTH FREE will/choice and destiny Fate all co-exist,CAN BE MEASURE AND OBSERVED.all about your attitude etc. cant say to much.
It must be so beautiful to be loved by you, they way you notice details
this is probably the best compliment I’ve ever seen someone utter
🥲🥲🥲 oh my goodness thank you
The depth and substance of this compliment really gave me another perspective of love. Thank you and I couldn't agree with your comment about her more, she's so spot on with the observing things
This may be one of the best compliments ever 🌹
Came for the topic, stayed for the glasses...
14:49 this is why I think dance is such a valuable skill to take up. You become the master of your own body.
@@jamesmccaul2945it definitely more than that if you’re a dedicated student. I can be -just- that if you treat it like any other exercise
Absolutely. Dance helps me realize things in my movement that are connected to thought patterns or behaviors that do not serve me, thought encoded in movement..by seeing the movement I can identify the thought instead of trying to figure things out any other way.
you dont have to dance other ways its not the best way ,its all about vibration frequency etc. more like a sport.I use different method,more like walking on water
I call its walking not the spirit and you must learn how to fall away from oneself but be careful not sure how it works for others.Im still in my body I dont do anything out of body stuff,also you can develop spiritual ears and eyes from such process.things will glow or the world almost like a pop or snap or an object will.Which is key
Yeah because otherwise you're not, someone else is master of your own body 😂😂
man. i did not realize how disconnected i was to my artistic side until i saw this video. spending my hours in a room of men (college student, computer science) has actually made me so robotic like & disconnected. wow. thank you. you might be my saving grace for actually connecting with my childlike self as an artist again 😢💖
same, the field can be so incredibly dull it hurts my soul
❤
Can I talk to you I have so many creative inspiration ideas for computer science and I am not there yet to be in that field but working on tryna use my life experience and convert it into computer applications etc
Same!!!
I just graduated from grad school for data science last month and I did not realize how stagnant I had gotten in terms of sensuality 😅 hang in there and incorporate your creativity when you can 🫶🏾
And it's not like you have a choice. You don't choose a muse. You discover them.
BOOOM!
such a curse and blessing
My harp teacher saw me as “his muse”, writing me songs and once i was 18 it also got sexual. Since then the whole muse thing is kinda icky for me, because mostly it’s a male artist and a female muse. I dont want to be anybodies muse. I want to be an artist, I want to be music. But your video essay kind of made me understand that you can be both. You can create and inspire other people to create.
@@Jessica.McDermott it’s not love if it’s one sided and obviously predatory🙄
@@Nana-oe4hs It wasn't one sided this girl obviously had feelings for the guy or else it wouldn't got sexual. A lot of women are f****** stupid when it comes to guys at a young age if they don't have a proper Father figure or a proper male role model. Play music supposed to be your ego Avatar your other half of your spirit now you're f****** soulmate.
A lot of women and men are lost nowadays and in all honesty the past two generations of men and women are useless. I want to be an artist why don't you f****** be an artist then.😂😂 You don't need to have some dip s*** by your hand by your side to do art
@@Nana-oe4hsright... not to mention morally wrong
Same with my 7th grade guitar teacher!! He would write songs about me and call me “the prettiest girl in school” in front of the whole class.
Looking back at it now it creeps me out.
I’m sorry you had to go through that,
I just realized that I've rarely, if ever, listened to women discuss philosophical and intellectual topics. It's always been men (or women in the company of men discussing these topics). This experience is so different and refreshing-like viewing a nude painting of a woman created by a female artist. If that makes sense? I'm only three minutes in and already subscribed. I'm hooked. Thank you.
For reaaaaalllll!!!!
you’re…you’re right. huh
this comment is GOLD. There are so many men in the world sharing their thoughts on everything... I always wonder where the BIG and FAMOUS female podcasters are ... the ones on the level of Joe Rogan etc. Maybe they are out there and I'm just not tapped into it. Either way, this is the sort of content I want more of and I think the world needs more of. I'm so glad I found this channel recently.
@@MarcellinaMoon I feel like it’s because women are afraid to have an intense presence or have hard opinions on things. And if we do, we are seen as dramatic or overly opinionated.
Sometimes, for me at least, it almost seems primal? I love the sound of a man’s voice. But female voices are growing on me. I think it’s that I don’t like female voices that are overly put on? Like too overly “nice girl, unproblematic girl, just go along to get along-girl”. Celine isn’t like that.
Anyway, I digress. Glad to see you and so many others relate!
I’ve never hated a comment section so much in my life
A perfect muse is the embodiment of a missing piece, a lost puzzle, the envy of an artist. This muse possesses a beauty the artist finds outside himself, a beauty he does not realize he lacks until he encounters it.
A perfect muse is not easily understood, almost an odd occurrence, a curiosity the artist seeks to uncover because it represents what he lacks. The perfect muse is someone the artist loves, obsesses over, and desires to possess.
This inability to be what the muse represents is expressed on canvas, in pages, carved, and composed. A perfect muse triggers a deep need in the artist to create.
This inspired me to be my own muse and recreate myself multiple times over. To truly accept and obsess over myself. And create mini different versions of me and express me in my all my art forms. To let myself take multiple forms in this lifetime.
Same🤍🥲
That sounds very narcissistic!
@@SylviaKift Probably is🤷🏾♀️

So interesting because I fell one time and a friend said “you even fall gracefully!” I didn’t know I was being watched that closely.

everyone's watching each other closely, all the time.
Aww
He likes you. Anyone's who watches us that close, likes us (or hate us, haha [but his comment was too sweet for that] ).
The true artist is always in love. He is consumed by this infatuation that never wanes. He believes the magic comes from the Muse, and he becomes obsessed with her. But the Muse is just a mirror. The magic actually comes from the artist himself and he inadvertently projects it on whoever happens to be the Muse of the Day.
lol yeah, they’re just women.
BINGO!
Men too @@bannedmann4469
You’re not a muse or an artist so you wouldn’t understand what this video is about.
You never had the experience, clearly.
“True artists” is a dead giveaway lol. Because how dare you say that like you are an official authority on who is a true artist.💀🤣🤣🤭🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤣
This video was an actual piece of art.
anything can be observed as art
not at all. Most stuff is crap. Art should lift us.🎉
my ex used to call me his muse . He’s a musician and when we were together I would hear a lot of our conversations in his music or just something that I said in passing . I thought it was rlly beautiful.
I had a Muse in my life called Sofia. For me she is not even a human, she is a concept, an ethereal idea, an ethereal palace, the atmosphere of another world that is subtle but alchemizes without being predictable. A consciousness that operates from its own laws of love and understanding. Muses are like an artistic album like lana del rey. You listen to once and you wanna keep coming back to revisit the perfected work of details and metaphors and analogies in just one person. Its not obsession. Its devotion, dedication of life to feeding the idea they create. You described them so well. Love you
Top tier comment
Lana is exactly who comes to mind for me as well
Well said
Lmao Lana del rey
Gay.
Mine was a good friend with whom I had a brief relationship, but stayed friends with over the years. She was wicked smart, definitely had her own ideas about virtually everything and was insatiably curious about things. We'd discuss whatever subject, she'd ask questions , make points and just inspire me to go with my projects into different directions. It got to the point that my brain would automatically start firing with creative ideas when I was around her, even if we weren't discussing anything deep. I was always saw the concept of a muse as a romantic notion that was more connected to a desire for the subject than really having much effect on creativity. She made me question that idea, appropriately enough.
A muse can be so much more, or less than this. All a muse needs to be is something the artist finds fascination in and draws inspiration from.
i’ve been given the “muse” treatment by people and it’s sooo creepy, being always observed and obsessed over is alienating bc you just end up wishing you could have a normal conversation and be treated normally, i think i give off the “self-possessed” impression to other people bc i’m not great at conversation and a bit socially anxious
I’m glad I read this comment, because I didn’t realize what I was experiencing, but you put it into words. It’s like they’re never listening to you, just watching you talk. 🫠 So being smart is annoying to those who don’t want to learn from an object made solely for observation purposes
I understand exactly what you mean!! It can be overwhelming and scary bc women will attack and men will too especially if they want to have sex.
So I’m an artist, and it sounds like you’ve been around some pretty shallow people to me. Sure, I will ask a muse to sit for me, once I know them, but without the ability to spend hours in long and intelligent conversation, to share cinema and literature and music and THEIR interests too I don’t find a person interesting enough to even want to paint them, let alone call them my muse. Weird… there is an element of elevating the subject inherent to the idea of a muse, but being put solely (or primarily) on a pedestal is objectifying, and possessive, which is probably why you’ve found it ‘creepy’ in your experience. I don’t know, most of my muses (Im an old guy now, so been around the block a few times) have actually been fellow artists of some kind as well…
Just b/c you seem to be treated like a muse, doesn't mean you are a muse. Muses are comfortable with the attention and know how to transmute it.
I bet. One time this nice man came to the place I worked wanting to sell his art and even ask for a photo of me. I thought that was kinda odd and I respectfully turned down the offer. I think he wanted to use me as a muse. The last thing I have ever wanted is to idolized in some art museum. 🤣
Your ability to capture this essence in language is transcendent. I wish this was longer😩 ….subscribed!
I believe that when people try to manufacture a muse-like persona, this desire is ego-based and the result which you describe as "solipsistic" might otherwise be described as "surrender" in someone who is inherently magnetic. Or at least this is what I am attracted to in those I consider muse-worthy. They are embodying less of this narcissistic need bred from insecurity and more so, as you described, a child-like ability to connect (surrender) to their own souls, authentic joy, their own well of abundance. The over-indulgence in the business of others isn't necessarily a virtue, though we like to think it is. Then again, my muses are usually saint-like, so this might not translate for another. Perhaps our muses represent the archetype we are most longing to embody ourselves (or that which we are most suppressing)? Fun channel!
. etc at tms buddha m muse fr’*(
Excellent observation. I completely agree. A true muse - a true artist - is inspiring because of their own inner connection to the divine and how the divine breathes through their expression through their surrender to their divine essence. True art can never come from ego - that's why there is so much stuff labeled art, which is actually just empty reverberations of copies of copies on copies upon copies. True art comes from the soul, and allows others to reconnect to theirs - this is the purpose of the artist. To allow others to reconnect to their soul through their art. It is an act of ultimate service to the divinity in all of us, our true nature. The ultimate rebellion in a world that lost its heart and mind. The ultimate Yes to life. And yes, therefore is marked by surrender to the highest order, which is love.
I just found this channel today and I am literally freaking out about the fact that for the first time ever I have come across not just one being like myself, but a whole bunch of us? I am awestruck. It literally feels like coming home. So healing.
beautiful analysis
This video has helped me understand why people are so obsessed with me. Truly enlightening.
😂
I love the abstract art background with your words it really feels I’m entering your own world
The muse becomes abused is a part of consistency through out all the years
To me, this is one of those classic cases of, “You see things not as they are, but as you are.”.
I think in pursuing the muse, you’re becoming the muse.
And simultaneously, this almost seems like a parody or satire of art.
I’m drawing a still life while listening. 😌 thanks for the interesting ideas
Ends up making them laughing at themselves, some realizing we're not all the same.
"If I'm a pedophile,than you're a pedophile" illusion it's broken.
Former art model here. I'm so grateful for your video here. :) Awesome!! I've often thought, (when I did runway or events,) that it wasn't me that people were looking at but they were seeing themselves in me. A muse is a magnetic mirror of others. Others see or sense, in a muse, their own hidden selves. I think muses know this too because they also see the same thing, (usually in an aloof sense lacking any true care.) :) Lovely video! Thank you.
To me or for me, a muse provides energy, ideas, and flat out inspiration. A muse can't take the same shape, and avenue every time because an artist is an ever evolving being. When an artists' environment becomes monotone...... A potential muse can be ever more easy to identify if they are open to sharing their energy.
A muse is a mostly neurodivergent person, that communicates that she fiercely stands alone, she would fight, cry, laugh , dance alone.
i was thinking this too.
I was literally going to say...I am on the spectrum and people have treated me like a 'muse' for a long time. More than anything, it feels objectifying and weird. I feel chronically misunderstood by neurotypicals, like I'm some whimsical silly fairy for being direct and true to myself. To be magnetic is really to be mysterious to people who cannot let sleeping dogs lie. I am actually a very genuine, transparent person. The mystery lies in the fact that people think there is something there to uncover, but there isn't. When I say "I want to dance", there is no subtext. Neurotypicals are obsessed with finding and applying subtext/other superfluous meaning to things that often aren't there. They think in grey, and within that grey, they become obsessed with people that think in black & white, or that are capable of thinking 'objectively'. 'Manic pixie dream girl' is the modern muse - an often neurodivergent woman who is attractive, and has people project their obsession of being unique onto a woman who's needs/wants they refuse to understand. To be a muse is to be misunderstood.
Josephine Baker, Rita Hayworth, Marilyn Monroe, Twiggy, Grace Jones, Eartha Kitt - each woman was someone's 'muse', but was also very controversial, displaying typical traits of neurodivergence across the board. Taking a retroactive look at their lives, them being neurotypical seems hiiiighly unlikely. There's a pattern of projection onto the 'muse' archetype that seems to start with people's fundamental inability to understand neurodivergent women.
Thank you for this explanation. I think it articulates very well how I feel about myself.
I was gonna say. "so basically autistic"
Ive had so many call me their muse and men who either love me obsessively or hate me because they can’t control me. I have so many ideas that I give to so many so sometimes I’m surrounded by those pretending to be interested in me but are instead interested in what comes out of my mouth. It’s exhausting so I retreat a lot. Just me and my dogs.
what a beautiful ode to your friend/muse in the last section! When someone captures me in that way, I can never fully explain it either. I think there will always be a kind of alchemy in the artist-muse relationship, but seeking to understand it is an act of artistic devotion in itself.
I cannot describe how articulate and amazing this video is. The depth of this video is so beautiful and authentic. This is my favorite video I’ve ever watched on TH-cam and beats any podcast out there
Muses deserve royalties on any creation they inspire, if they are in human form
animals deserve royalties aswell
Well almost all royalties around the world are reptilian reptoids
this is a silly statement 😅
Perhaps royalties isn’t the right term. Muses do definitely deserve to be treated, wined and dined on, taken out to lovely dinners. Involving legalities diminishes the ascetic relationship between an artist and their muse. It’s more personable than that.
What labor besides existing next to a friend do muses provide in the creation?
mine has always been my boyfriend’s older sister…this video hit so close to home. i’ve been obsessed with her since i met her (2020). she’s just so confident and independent and in her own world. she doesn’t let people bother her. she also has the bony finger thing !! i’ve always noticed it. she would wear these bohemian rings that would accentuate her hands. she has red hair and a super mature vibe. i always thought she had a face like the moon with these blue sharp eyes. i cry at the thought of not being her.

The swedish translation for ”breath” is verbatim ”soulapparel”
As something I’m only aware of now, well in recent years, as only in these older ages of my life., is that the first thing that has always caught me tightly in that instant rush of attraction to a man I’ve never met, never spoken to, from across a room, a crowd of people, on the other side of the street, is his movement and how my body feels his wake through the oxygen between us.
The Muse is the physical embodiment of the artist's passion. It is a symbol of the fire that consumes the artist and drives him to create the beauty that he sees while subordinating every other aspect of his life to a much lower priority. The artist doesn't see this as a sacrifice. He does not evaluate his life, the true artist is never introspective in a practical sense. His peripheral vision is blinded by his obsession to create. He has tunnel vision, and the focus is first and foremost his Muse and his testimony of her, his body of work.
I want to disagree, but my Muse would never forgive me! Lol!
Also her testimony of him, her body of work ❤
Nope
I give zero shit about reality! Beauty forever 💕
“because my duty was always to beauty.. that was my crime” 🎶
😂
you’re explaining someone you truly understands pain. To be a muse is to personify the empathy
I love when you talk about beauty and being ethereal. Make me want to work more on cultivating those qualities ❤
Thanks for your perspective. I took a lot of inspiration from this video. So much of what you said about the muse resonated with me. I had never heard or read anyone express it that way, in the way I was also feeling it. My muse is the inspiration for my paintings, but not all of those paintings are paintings and "of her". Many of them are. She is also the inspiration for and the subject of almost all my poetry. She is not affected by societies beauty norms, her style and carriage is entirely her own. It is not just her beauty that captures me but the way she moves, the sound of her voice. Her very aura. Her essence can never quite be captured but I try
ughhh no one does it like you
Yes no one does do it like her ❤

I have a muse, and I know he is a person that exits and not exits at the same time. For looking at him with the eyes of an artist can unravel truths about him, but also create ilusions that come from the wonder and passion a muse inflicts.

your manner of speaking about the subject was so endearing. This video made me aware of all the people who have inspired me to write a song about them or spend half an hour to capture them in a perfect photo on my phone. Love your passion, subscribed!
"Our desire and our purpose work in tandem" is a bar that i will always go back to. thank you for this, absolutely brilliant.❤
Plug a little weird but she cool
For me that was a magical nineteen minutes, your interpretation to understanding your muse. I've drawn pictures of my muse, & become so encapsulated by their aura it becomes overwhelming within the process of creating their image. Your descriptive use of language is so exhilarating.
your mind is a sacred sanctuary. wrote great notes in my diary, thank you so much.
Illuminating the spectres in a way that speaks to the divine theatre of life...gratitude for your galvanizing talks!
soul + spirit + authenticity + freedom = muse. I know few of them including myself and few of them are mans for me, who inspired me to created some drawings, paintings, songs...bringing whole new points of view to my life, every time I meet them.
Thanks
She’s artistically gourgeous in her own unique way
"Whenever Patty Smith first saw Eddie Sedwick in a magazine, she said that she seemed entirely self-possesed. As if nobody in the world existed, but her. Every muse needs to be like this. This is what I call the Ethereal Gene. Otherwordly people strike you as being seperate from everone else; not only do they seem seperate -or otherwise entirely alone, in their own universe, just simply coexisting with ours- they seem completely unaffected by our world".

I could follow it until, seem completely unaffected by our world.
That's a mental disorder.
Even gods weep.
It's not a gene. It's drugs.
Learn about the god particle.
Certain genes do make you bond with it more appropriately.
Making it so ur unaffected by our world closing off other ends of experience that would cause the very life that is art to never happen.
Its about controlling the reaction to the feeling.

Thank you and well done!
i love this video, as an artist myself i've always sought to understand why i'm drawn to certain people as muses
I needed this video so much. I met my muse and in a beginning I couldn`t explain why I felt like I never felt before. And to be honest I quit my current job because she did and the rest of my time I will dedicate to art because I don`t see any other way how to live. Exactly- some people just inspire you and you can`t live without it anymore.
13:56 I am so excited to see if you talk more about this in later videos. Your ethereal series is such a masterpiece, and everything you have to offer when describing muses is just as intriguing.
I absolutely adore your channel and the way your mind finds ways to express your devotion towards beauty. I highly appreciate your artistry, thank you for another amazing video !
What a beautiful conversation and an even more beautiful setting! I love binging on your videos so much, through them I am getting more educated, more aware but mostly I feel the persistent urge to follow my passions and love on my myself more deeply. Thank you for sharing your views and ways of thinking throughout all the different expressions of yourself Celine.
You are incredibly incredibly inspiring.🤍
Thank you for sharing this ❤ It's so surreal to think these videos have an effect on people I've never known. Good fortune to you on your path ahead love.
Someone recently insinuated that they would like me to be their muse. This was a comment from something I had shared. The algorithm picked this up for me and I'm grateful for it because I believe we are born with gifts but we don't always know what they are called and knowing what it's called can allow one to learn so much more about themselves from a video like this. Thank you. xo
For me I almost feel like I am my own muse, it's more of a feeling rather than a person that inspires me and when I feel the need to create it happens. But music also helps me to get into the mood.
Then you haven't met a real muse yet. It isn't possible to be your own muse. The very definition demands the inspiration comes from OUTSIDE of yourself. You will find one eventually.
This video has healed my heart a little bit. Thank you so much.
It feels like I've been turned inside out and told everything I think and feel about it. I have never subscribed to channels with such speed and a desire to know more. 💎
This is not me being narcissistic but I’ve often been told I am a muse, or possessing a manic-pixie dream girl sort of esque. I clicked on this video and I kinda see it. I never felt as I was from this world. I always thought I was from like mars. There are downsides to this, as especially men not viewing you as ‘human’ you’re more of an essence or character than person, which take a toll on one’s mental health. As a female with a neurodivergent brain, adhd spectrum, I view life and people differently. I cannot explain it but this video made so much sense to me. Besides the mispronunciation of Edie’s name this video was brilliant.
can you elaborate on i view life and people differently
6:07 you are completely describing the dichotomy of my mind and the struggle that I'm having. The depressed, wounded mystic, who knows too much and is too fragile. As well as the ditsy, Lightfooted, unaffected beauty who dances by. Cynical, yet youthful and wanting. It drives me and the men around me insane😭
9:39 thank you for this video. You made me see my insanity from a different light. Made me see the good in it. You can't understand hoe much I needed this perspective
You are an incredible intellect , artist and observer What a pleasure it is to see and hear you Thank you for your beauteous way of seeing things
this was a spiritual experience for me. thank you. You could also say aura.
im so glad i came across this video! so so genuinely incredible, from the way you string your words together to the lighting and dynamic backgrounds, to the altered audio and angles. beautiful work, beautiful video, beautiful words. recently found a muse and im so incredibly lucky and grateful. i haven't been this obsessed and driven to madness with music in 10+ years and they've got me wanting to capture every color i see when i hear their voice and every emotion i feel when i see them, every poem i can create to capture the view. that relentless thud of a heartbeat, that lighthearted smile like a chenille knit sweater, that sun warmed honey voice, that electric energy when they're on stage singing. god they're just so incredible and ill never be able to fully capture their essence but i won't give up trying
The muse, the manic pixie, the gallions figure head - a woman whose appeal lies in the fact that she is ever elusive. She is really not there at all, hidden away behind a canvas for the observer to project upon. Foolish girl, wanting to be something that is destined to die. For the only eternal life she will ever experience is at the hands of someone else.
This was very beautifully put
Damn
Some of my muses do their own creating, so I can’t say that they would be destined to die without me. They inspire me in a way that I’m not sure anyone would discover and I’m sure they will become greater than I could ever be, but yes, they are still elusive.
Many people seem to equate being inspired by the muse with being in love and simply seeing that person through the eyes of love. But these two things, which can sometimes be similar, are in no way the same. Most of the artists are inspired, or even obssessed by a muse, without being in love with them, and most of the people who are in love have no urge to create or to become any type of an artist because of loving someone. Ultimately, it only shows that being touched by the muse APPEARS like love to those who were never touched in that particular way.
My muse broke me. Its been 5 years and she still has her knee in my throat and id still go back for more. Ill still love her even after i die. She truly is my Beatrice
Thank you for explaining all traits!!!! Movement and grace is something so small yet big to viewing a person especially a muse. Another big one I believe is PASSIVE INSPIRATION. From my experience it’s about allowing someone else to be inspired by your nature but also stay grounded in your own (muse) identity and allow the person to create independently, but know you are the literal jump start to a project. This could easily become toxic from an artist stealing work but the muse is grounded in knowing they are the catalyst for the artists nature flow of creation. Thus the muse holds a certain power that the artist must try to catch and translate into art!!!!
Real women know how to use this power play and a lot of men not just artists love it
Lisa Bonet has these qualities. Love that woman!!
I had two muses in my life. Once in high school my best friend in class. She inspired me crazy. Everything she said and did fascinated me. The way she lived and her relationship with life. She helped me big time on writing my first book. We are still friends. We always had a special connection and she knew she was my muse. I wasn’t her muse but the love we had for each other was equal.
And then my second muse was a man I met last year this time. He inspired me so much, I wrote an entire poetry book. He was a dandy, an actor, a dreamer. He worshipped Mother Earth and I envied his relationship with God.
That being said, I sometimes enjoy being the muse, but I feel turned off by the people putting me on a pedestal. And to think he feels about me the same way I feel about those who make me a muse, is an ego death I don’t want to face (but I do face, in my poetry)
With ripe savory ease you
Lick the Halleluja of my foreign softness
I, artemisia in manic prime
Bloom in poetry .

"all muses are small gods" screaming
A muse is not necessarily a sexual influence. Sometimes sexual contact destroys the connection with a muse.
In my life I never desired my muses. They had an unspoken presence, an unattainable eternal thing one can’t put their finger on. It is not visible to anyone else. As an artist they me gave exactly what I needed to complete whatever It was I was working on. Sometimes I didn’t know exactly what that was either. One cannot be a universal muse. Not all artists see or need the same things.
When I found someone who met my needs, I never questioned why. She just was. Period. It is akin to a mystery. Once that mystery is revealed it becomes no longer effective. The muse doesn’t even have to have innate beauty or an incredible complexion or hair. But possesses qualities no one else can give an artist. It is what makes the artist repeatedly use the same person again and again. There is an unspoken symbiosis between them.
omg I love that you explain it in a form of art-
Eeeee-deeee. Not Eddie
Thx, I didn't wanna be the asshole to 1st point out this important mistake, truly took away so much from an otherwise lovely commentary on muses. Couldn't get over it
@@miriamzirato1024😂
ed, edd and eddy ?
I never understand mispronouncing the name of a subject or partial subject to your content. Especially if it's not a really tough name due to language barriers. She's well known enough that even a small amount of studying/research should have been enough to hear her name a few times.
I find it odd on the channels part to get this simple but important detail so wrong. "EDDIE" 😂 jeez
Sedgwick is such a tragic, timeless icon of the sixties. Can see why Warhol was obsessed with her, but Andy, much like Bacon, had a knack for killing the things he loved.
This collection of beautiful and sassy compliments is art in itself ❤
HOLY SHITBALLS!! This is my first time finding your channel as a YT suggestion and I can not even with the chills I got hearing this. Muh goosebumps had goosebumps. Loooook I have tried to tell people over and over, I am REALLY not that attractive, but I know there is something that makes people see me that way anyway. Not everyone, but BOY HOWDY when they do. They all try to make me feel seen or show me... me through their eyes. It is nice, but it always give me THAT... the aww that's nice, thought. THIS guuurl I have never felt so seen and understood. It's like you've gathered all the strange compliments and comments that I have really liked in ways people don't understand and made them into a full description. THANK YOU, QUEEN!!!!!! 🙏 Totally subbed and shared ❤🔥
I was looking for a muse. Finally, I found you
Just found your channel and I’m binge watching. In love with your content already 🤍🤍🤍🤍
I randomly stumbled upon this video, and it was amazing. The way you speak and explain things is so captivating. I was able to relate and understand your words and internalize them on a DIFFERENT LEVEL. I find that I may be a sort of a muse myself (not to toot my horn lol), but the words i the beginning describe my personality to a tea and people commonly tell me I should model and compliment my features as being "unique". Thank you for making this as now I know how I should navigate and almost build upon these habits to appear more "muse-like".
I've created my best works when I had a muse...I watched this show called Sandman on Netflix. One episode was about a guy that captured a muse, and locked her up so she wouldn't leave. He produced great works and became rich and famous. Then he released her when he was old and finished. Sad but interesting episode.
Calliope, one of the Greek muses, a really beautiful show too, the way I see it you either get to be a muse or a person- you can't be both.
@@tahsina.c You can never have the muse though, you just have to admire the muse. So the inspiration stays pure. If it becomes anything more, she becomes a person to you and no longer a muse
@@kingdomcitizenship5613 but Marrie was Picasso's muse like this video highlighted and he had her do how could you watch this video and still say one shouldn't have a muse to him or herself so the muse is pure?
@@tahsina.c why not
Thanks!
this was completely brilliant. it covered a lot of what i've been dwelling on for ages, not least for the concern that there could be some element of a gendered / misogynistic streak to the male artist / female muse dynamic.
Thank you for delving into this, explaining the unexplainable, finding words for the undefinable. Nice essay.
you're insane I love u
I go back here EVERY fckng time! This fuels me endlessly. I live for this.
So interesting! You pick the very best themes! I had this effect on people from a very young age, up to early adulthood and funny enough my daughter is exactly like this, she is like a little forest spirit and it has nothing to do with what she wears. She has this happy unbothered Energy and even at her young age boys would just grow themselves at her and she isn’t specifically feminine or anything she has nothing to do with the regular beauty standards! She is just herself up to the tip of her finger! I intend to allow for her to stay that way as long as possible!
I also wanted to know if you have eventually some material to read about it? I am searching for the roots of Muses as I believe that they also exist in others cultures and need to understand how they were portrayed before and in other places… the number nine also is very significant
I googled if there was evidence of human contact with the Muses, and bye and bye was lead to translations of ancient Greek manuscripts and other accounts of this subject. It was riveting!
