She says it could be a series of episodes in one's life where one is forced to face one's deepest fears and come out on the other side without completely losing your mind, she says. Kohn: My own experience of chapel perilous happened during what I would call a nonstop catastrophic romance with the much younger woman at the time. The way I have done it in my life I'm kind of like kind of hardcore artists type and what that means is that I tend to work from my traumas through my art for me are at that time meant creating theater.

“Chapel Perilous is a stage in the magickal quest in which your maps turn out to be totally inadequate for the territory, and you’re completely lost. And at that point you get an ally who helps you find your way back to something you can understand. And then after that for the rest of your life you’ve got this question: Was that ally a supernatural helper, or was it just part of my own mind trying to save me from going totally bonkers with this stuff? And the people I know who’ve had that kind of experience, very few of them have come to an absolutely certain conclusion about that.” -Robert Anton Wilson, “Maybe Logic”
