Episode notes
Magic and Schizophrenia
- Schizophrenics should focus on externalized magic like ritual or writing.
- Journaling and recognizing when magic becomes harmful is important.
Deck Art Process
- Josephine's deck art process involves a mapping structure and entities communicating.
- The deck entities decided what to include, exclude, how to be perceived, and the locking-in process.
The Unoptimizable Magical Path
- The magical path is not optimizable; it's messy, with twists, turns, and dead ends.
- These experiences are lessons, not failures, leading to wisdom.
