Hi Hive account@pluridimensional!
Thank you for your kind words.
They are very flattering, but I must admit, I am only a hobbyist & fear you give me too much credit, but thank you none-the-less : )

Great question, I'll do my best to answer satisfactorily.
First the inspiration mainly comes from personal experience, however, the word Pharmakeia, is the Greek word in the Bible which is translated in English to "Sorcery".
See, most people believe"Sorcery" is common witchcraft, not so. Sorcerers are those who participated in consciousness altering states, either for ritual/spiritual or just hedonistic purposes.
The reason why the practice is forbidden in the Bible, is because it is said that when you open the "doors of perception" it's two way, and you provide an opening for what's on the other side to peer back at you.
Anyway, i'm glad the story resonated with you & that the answer to your great question is to your satisfaction.
