William Blake & The Doors of Perception
New Episode: Re-Enchantment Through William Blake
Lying melty on my bed like a Dali painting, I explore William Blake’s 268th birthday through poetry, doors, and contradictions.
In this episode:
* Charlotte Mabon’s “On the Mountain Path” (from Rivers of Soul album)
* Blake’s Tiger Tiger Burning Bright & Auguries of Innocence
* The Doors of Perception: Blake → Aldous Huxley → Jim Morrison
* Bluebeard’s forbidden room & clearing to reach infinity
* Holding devastation AND wonder simultaneously
* “I am as old as I thought I would never be”
* Story nesting & deepening consciousness
* Allen Ginsberg masturbating to “Ah, Sunflower” (yes really)
* Finding what gives you sensual, tactile pleasure
Blake believed imagination is divine. The creative self never dies - she’s alive in every moment.
