Psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung's theory of inspiration suggests that an artist is one who was attuned to racial memory, which encoded the archetypes of the human mind. In the early 20th century, psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud believed himself to have located inspiration in the inner psyche of the artist. In the 19th century, Romantic poets such as Coleridge and Shelley believed that inspiration came to a poet because the poet was attuned to the (divine or mystical) "winds" and because the soul of the poet was able to receive such visions. In the 18th century philosopher John Locke proposed a model of the human mind in which ideas associate or resonate with one another in the mind. In Christianity, inspiration is a gift of the Holy Spirit. In the Book of Amos the prophet speaks of being overwhelmed by God's voice and compelled to speak. Inspiration is also a divine matter in Hebrew poetics. Similarly, in the Ancient Norse religions, inspiration derives from the gods, such as Odin. The Greeks believed that inspiration or " enthusiasm" came from the muses, as well as the gods Apollo and Dionysus. The concept has origins in both Hellenism and Hebraism.
