spell, idolatry, maya, realities
What did Owen Barfield say about spell? I was thinking of Saving the Appearances: A Study in Idolatry. Probably also mixing that with The Spell of the Sensuous by David Abram, which probably does not use the term negatively. I have reference to page 291 of Capra’s Web of Life. Capra was referring to the Hindu maya, the spell of the magic play that our minds put on, which is not the reality, but only a reality. Barfield I think uses idolatry to describe our inclination to turn what we see (our literalness) into the reality.
