Dark Shamanism and Ritual Possession by Predatory Entities
Adams draws parallels between the deck's imagery and "dark shamanism," a cosmology of predation where practitioners open themselves to possession by powerful predatory entities. One specific card, "Ipeo," depicts a monk possessed by a draconian entity, representing the total displacement of the human persona. This ethnographic construct explains reports of high-level elites appearing "possessed" or predatory in their behavior.
