Franz Mesmer
Franz Mesmer was an 18th-century physician and occultist who developed the theory of "animal magnetism," a precursor to modern hypnosis and mesmerism. He claimed that an invisible fluid force permeated the universe and could be manipulated to produce healing effects.
In the Psycheverse
Psyche situates Mesmer within the genealogy of Western occultism and energy work, treating his theories as proto-scientific attempts to map invisible forces that later traditions would call prana, chi, or magical current. His legacy appears as a touchstone for understanding how consciousness and material reality intersect—a core concern animating readings and spiritual philosophy on the show.
