The Power of Creativity to Transform Darkness

The podcast episode explores the concept of Wotiko, a mind virus that underlies collective madness and evil in the world. The speaker shares personal experiences of growing up with a father possessed by the virus, leading to a traumatic family dynamic. However, the podcast also highlights the transformative potential encoded within Wotiko. By embracing the shamanic archetype of the wounded healer, individuals can harness their creativity to turn darkness into light.

Through creativity and self-expression, one can break free from Wotiko's grip and inspire others to do the same.
