An exploration of creativity, soul, purpose, madness, witch consciousness and a whole bunch of other depthy beeswax. Not for the faint of psyche!

In this episode, Mary and Zach investigate:

> The ambiguous definition of an artist.

> The artist’s function.

> The artist’s duty.

> The purpose of the world.

> The definition defying definition of soul.

> How the soul sees.

> How we are vessels of soul.

> Existing in the soulless West.

> Divine madness and creative illness.

> Suppression of witch consciousness.

> The moody muse.

> The loss of myth consciousness.

> Trickster traits.
