Songs of Amythic Death Anxiety

“If I lose you” / "Lying in therapy"

Master of Scenarios:

This workshop is necessarily experimental

We are exploring the usefulness of ritual design for mythic hygiene

As a method and genre of creative practice 

Its success is determined by your assessment of plausibility

Our current hypothesis is one of many

Ritual design for mythic hygiene can address amythic death anxiety

Participants:

Does the work feel personally meaningful and functional?

Can re-envisioning myth foster psycho-social health?

Can changing the story, therefore, change the world – starting with us?

Master of Scenarios:

Today we experiment with functionality — what works in practice

Progress your libretto and system prompt – writing is performative and generative

The Council is looking for solutions that orient, sustain and adapt

Remain vigilant against hidden mechanisms or secret methods – all must be transparent

Participants:

If we gave this script to others, could they use it responsibly?

What ritual, habit or practice has worked for us?

What life experiment might we test today?

"If I lose you"

If I lose you while we are escaping

Meet me at the pond

Noon, 12th of May

Where we used to hold on

From that very first time we held on

And we promised we’d never deny our love

Promised we’d never deny our love

If I lose you while we are escaping

Do what must be done to find your way

There at the gazebo

Where our kiss would linger

And we promised we’d never deny our love

Promised we’d never deny our love

Captain I’m thinking

These pills that I’m taking

Are rotting my brain

I don’t think that they’re to blame

I don’t think that I’m to blame

I’d do the same thing anyway, any day

Captain I’m thinking

These pills that I’m taking

Are rotting my, rotting my, rotting my brain

If I lose you while we are escaping

And I’m not at the pond

Noon, 12th of May

Try then in September

The 12th at noon, remember

Cause we promised we’d never deny our love

Promised we’d never deny our love

Promised we’d never deny out love
