Gates to Meaning

Welcome to Gates of Meaning. Works of literature, classics, mythology distilled and crystalized to an essential meaning.

Works of literature, classics, mythology distilled and crystalized to an essential meaning.

I am fascinated by human psyche, imagination and spirit, which all attempt to discover or create Meaning. While reading classical literature, mythology, poetry or admiring works of art, I often get a very clear and distinct idea, encapsulated in a short episode of a story, or in the beautiful line of poetry.

Gates of Meaning - Blog by Irina Ganzha, Created 30.03.2025

In each post, I will share one of such examples with my own interpretation. I avoid reading others' interpretations or research of a given literary work in order to simply take it at the face value and observe my own associations, interpretations and meaning creation.

The work of art has life after its creation, it lives continues to evolve and live in our consciousness, even if it's 3000 years later. It gets a new meaning, provides new insights in the context of our contemporary life and knowledge.

For the purpose of this blog, it is not important to me what a given work of art meant and why it was created. It is more important, how it affects us today, what it means for us now, with our newly gained knowledge, development of our thought, philosophy, psychology and scientific knowledge.

Unlike the image of the podcast may suggest, there will never be anything esoteric or new age spirituality in this blog. I am an explorer of western philosophy, psychology, general knowledge and human intellect, as well as an admirer of science and scientific knowledge.
