Bob Dylan, Magic & Alchemy (Bob Dylan Hotline #6)

from Definitely Dylan · host Laura Tenschert

In today's Bob Dylan Hotline, Laura and Rebecca get a little mystical. Bob Dylan himself has often described the creative process as magical, and through the years has also been drawn to mysticism like the Tarot. We talk about creativity as alchemy, which Tarot card Bob Dylan most identified with, and the spell that music can cast. The Tarot deck we’re referring to is the Rider-Waite-Smith deck from 1909, illustrated by Pamela Coleman Smith.Listen to the podcast episode about Creation and Creativity in "My Own Version of You" and "Mother of Muses" here.If you have a question for us, send us a voice memo to [email protected] anything else get in touch at [email protected] can support Definitely Dylan on Patreon or with a one-off donation at buymeacoffee.com/definitelydylan.Book your Bob Dylan Walking Tour of NYC with Rebecca on ramblintours.com.Get your Definitely Dylan baseball cap here.
