Harvesting the Soul

"Harvesting the soul" is a metaphorical or fictional concept often found in spiritual, philosophical, or fantastical contexts. It refers to the idea of extracting or capturing a person's essential essence, consciousness, or inner being—sometimes to gain power, knowledge, or life force. In literature or mythology, it symbolizes the loss or theft of one's true self through manipulation, control, or supernatural means. It is not a literal process but a symbolic way of describing profound influence or damage to a person's inner identity or spirit.
