The courtship compulsion can be caused by poor relations with the onema. Not all onema and onema's archetypes or modeling are positive. Some of them may have been raised by a cruel father figure, an absent mother,. And so it doesn't really take long for things to go south or go wrong.
In this episode, we chat with underground film maker, professional astrologer, paratheater ritualist, teacher, writer, forest walker, dreamer and no form engineer Antero Alli on Chapel Perilous, paratheater, and the Eight Circuit model.

“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”
