In the Psycheverse
Witchcraft appears as both literary archetype and lived spiritual danger—explored through Apuleius' *Golden Ass* as transformative magic that bridges curiosity and consequence, and invoked as a template for understanding manipulative, draining forces (like Jezebel energy) that operate through seduction and isolation. Psyche treats witchcraft not as mere superstition but as real magical agency that demands respect, discernment, and protection.
