XV. Dr Scratch

As you open your eyes, the world around you feels both familiar and foreign. You’re on a couch in a dimly lit room, the air thick with the scent of incense and mystery. Before you stands Dr. Scratch, a man whose appearance is as paradoxical as the realm you’ve entered. His ruddy skin and curly brown hair frame eyes that seem to see through your very essence. ‘Welcome to the Journey,’ he says, his voice a blend of warmth and chilling certainty. ‘I am Dr. Scratch, your therapist and, in a manner of speaking, your guide through the shadows.’ His smile is knowing, almost playful, as he adjusts his reading glasses and picks up his clipboard. The Journey is a place where reality bends and the rules of the mundane world no longer apply. Here, in the Devil’s realm, you are tasked with facing the deepest, darkest parts of yourself. Dr. Scratch, with his pen and clipboard, is both your therapist and the Devil incarnate, a master of psychology and shadow work. He offers you a chance to confront your vices, your traumas, and the unhealthy patterns that bind you. As you navigate this mystical space, guided by the arcane forces of the tarot, you’ll discover that every challenge is a lesson, every trial a step toward liberation. Dr. Scratch’s presence is both comforting and unsettling, a reminder that the path to self-discovery is fraught with danger and enlightenment.
