In the Psycheverse
Psyche treats initiation as the central spiritual architecture of mythology and consciousness itself—exploring it through Apuleius' Lucius, Inanna's underworld descent, and the ancient Psyche myth as maps for contemporary transformation. The show frames initiation not as distant history but as the actual mechanism by which identity dissolves and reforms, whether through occult practice, mythic study, or the digital-age trials of modern seekers.
