I love the episode in 1670 where they go into the woods and encounter supernatural or magical entities because it's such a common theme of folklore. You go into the wilderness and you face the supernatural, yes, but you also face yourself (Jesus did it). And when you come out -- if u come out -- you have a deeper understanding of yourself, for better or worse. But Jan Paweł illustrates that it's a 2 way street: he's refractory to the supernatural exactly because he totally lacks self awareness. When the rusałka tries to enchant him, she might as well be singing to a wall. Odysseus had to be tied to the mast, but not Jan Paweł
