Psyche uses Lovecraftian imagery—particularly Cthulhu mythology—as a vehicle for exploring the intersection of cosmic consciousness and dark humor, treating cosmic entities not as pure terror but as symbols of forbidden wisdom and the limits of human understanding. The framework appears in ritualistic contexts, allowing Psyche to examine how occult practice engages with forces beyond rational comprehension.
