Omschrijving

"A guide for writers who welcome the dark and hunger for meaning. . . . If the page is a threshold, this book will show you how to cross." —Joanna Penn, author of Writing the Shadow

Have you ever felt that your truest creative work comes from somewhere beyond your conscious control? That in your best moments, you're not so much writing as being written through? The ancients had a name for this force: the daemon, or muse, the hidden genius that shapes authentic art and calls us toward our deepest purpose.

If you've ever felt blocked, burned out, or adrift in your creative life, this book is an invitation to return to that source. In a world crowded with noise and distraction, creativity asks us to step back into silence.

Writing at the Wellspring is a guide to creativity at its deepest level. Matt Cardin, known for his writings on creativity, spirituality, and the supernatural, draws on twenty-five years as a writer, teacher, and explorer of the darkly numinous to examine the ancient idea of the muse, or daemon, as a hidden force that shapes authentic expression and life purpose.

Part memoir, part spiritual manifesto, and part guidebook for writers and creators, the book traces the undercurrents of resistance, silence, and awakening that flow beneath genuine art. More than a productivity manual, it shows how writing can become a kind of monastic practice: a way of renewal, an act of attention that aligns with the ground of nonduality, and a return to presence that steadies us in a collapsing world.

Whether you work with words, paint, music, or any form of art, you'll find help here to:

Break through creative resistance and self-doubt Reconnect with sources of inspiration that have sustained artists for centuries Discover how to work with the daemon muse rather than against your own creative nature Recognize creativity as a path of spiritual awakening See your art not only as output, but as a way of staying whole in a fractured world

At once personal and cultural in scope, Writing at the Wellspring invites authors, artists, and seekers to reimagine their creative lives as a path of awakening, guided by the hidden currents of genius within. It's a companion for creators in the spirit of Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way, Natalie Goldberg's Writing Down the Bones, and Steven Pressfield's The War of Art. But where those books focus on overcoming resistance and building practice, Writing at the Wellspring reveals creativity as a contemplative path, a way of awakening that unites your inner and outer lives in the fulfillment of your deepest calling.

"I can't think of any [other books] that link the creative act so uniquely or persuasively with spirituality." —Victoria Nelson, author of On Writer's Block
