Creativity Isn't Like Magic—It Literally Is Magic Pam Grossman • 436

What if creativity isn't a metaphor for magic but literally the same thing? Pam Grossman breaks down why the creative process and magical practice use identical mechanisms—and why that's not poetic language, it's actual reality. This conversation goes beyond surface-level inspiration into the suppressed history of why magic was banned (spoiler: it threatened capitalism, not logic). What you'll learn: Why casting a creative circle works identically to casting spells The magician's pose: one hand up receiving, one hand down grounding How magic was suppressed to control populations, not because it was fake Pam Grossman is the author of Magic Maker: The Enchanted Path to Creativity and host of The Witch Wave podcast. She's spent decades studying why the most effective creators throughout history—from Beyoncé to Benjamin Franklin—used techniques traditionally considered magical.
