Breath is a fabulous symbol for spirituality and control. You see it used throughout history, mythology, and most important for our purposes, fiction. It's so often the tool people use to mediate and interact with their magic. Entire magic systems have been built on this interaction. But what about when the breath itself becomes the source of the magic? I'm not talking about firebreath or solar beams from the mouth; I'm talking about breath as we know it, made magical. Pneuma. The Ancient Greek term for it. In his book Imajica, Clive Barker puts this very idea to use. I found it so inspiring when I started to look into it, I had no choice but to make this video.
