Paul Green returns! Magic, Cooking, Ian McGilchrist, Symbols as Power

Paul Green returns! Magic, Cooking, Ian McGilchrist, Symbols as Power Paul Green returns to the show; we go as a deep dive into the work of Ian McGilchrist and his work on the two hemispheres of the brain and how we operate in the world. We talk about our experiences, the editor function of the brain which is important at the end of the creative process, and we talk about naming as power and the mechanics of magic. The idea of representation of objects with symbols as magical process and the psychology of magic looking at the intrinsic paradox. What's all this thing about evolution? Our journey also takes us into the Vikings and their relationships with the gods and the fairy world. Just to round off we took us of cooking 's magic planting a seed in the mind, and we come up with a definition of magic.   To support the podcast and get access to features about guitar playing and song writing visit https://www.patreon.com/vichyland and also news for all the creative music that we do at Bluescamp UK and France visit www.bluescampuk.co.uk   For details of the Ikaro music charity visit www.ikaromusic.com   Big thanks to Josh Ferrara for the music
