We looked more specifically at what has been lost, culturally and imaginatively, by the fact of being under a spell. We thought about how one sociologist and philosopher says that our world is defined by 'Total Work': that the worker mentality, and market values, have infiltrated every part of life, including that part of life - private life - that used to be sacred and set-aside from the demands of work (don't forget that the origin of 'holiday' is 'holy-day'!). This situation has become so endemic that now even rest is not real rest: rest is simply rest from work, in order to do more work, so rest itself is defined by work.
