The Creative Fire was produced specifically for people who create for a living - artists, writers, teachers, and others who must depend on their creative instinct every day. Using stories, myths, and Jungian commentary, Dr. Estés guides us through the dark labyrinths of the psyche to find la chispa: the ember which is the elemental source of all creative work. Each story and myth is a timeless reservoir of truth about creativity and the soul. Includes a demonstration of "active imagination," a Jungian technique for breaking psychic logjams. Stories include: "Demeter and Persephone"; "The Corpse Bride"; "Wolfen"; and the myth of Calaban.
