The id is part of intellect. It was the original spells that were cast on us, and as time goes on other spells are bound to us that contradict the initial ones. There is much energy in these intellectual prisons, and they are quite often at odds with one another.
People do build their shrines to these constructs, and when they are contradictory dis-ease forms, sometimes to the point of madness. There are indeed many adversaries to be found among the lesser spells of intellect in oneself and the more dominant ones. It is in these schisms that one can really stalk the illusion of them while seeing the power they can command if one submits to them.
This doesn't match my model. id = pre-verbal, pre-intellectual
I like this.
Our primal instincts (which served us well for the last 8 million years) are maladapted to a modern context.
