Topic: Draconian 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.

The deck references highly malefic fixed stars, such as Caput Algol, to fix negative intentions in place through astral magic. This system is described as a "cosmology of predation" or dark shamanism, where practitioners open themselves to possession by predatory draconian entities to gain power. One specific card, "Ipout," depicts a monk fully possessed by such an entity, reflecting a process where the human persona is entirely displaced.
