Ancient Greek Divination by Mantis Selene

The 9 Muses are a sisterhood of spirits, who embody the arts and inspire the creation process with their graces through remembered and improvised song and stage, writing, traditional music and dance. God Apollo is once again the leader of this Sisterhood. Not only are the Muses explicitly used in modern English to refer to an inspiration, as when one cites his/her own artistic muse, but they are also implicit in the words "amuse" or "musing upon".

• Calliope (the "beautiful of speech", chief of the muses and muse of epic or heroic poetry)
• Clio (the "glorious one", muse of history)
• Erato (the "amorous one", muse of love or erotic poetry, lyrics, and marriage songs)
• Euterpe (the "well-pleasing", muse of music and lyric poetry)
• Melpomene (the "chanting one", muse of tragedy)
• Polyhymnia or Polymnia (the "[singer] of many hymns", muse of sacred song, oratory, lyric, singing and rhetoric)
• Terpsichore (the "[one who] delights in dance", muse of choral song and dance)
