“How to make a Cyborg Witch” part 1

In traditional mythic storytelling through dance, the body is the locus of the transformative process, the host of divine presence. To what extent is it necessary for the body to be whole/able?  I wish to propose the mutated/cyborg body, though seemingly compromised, as a more powerful conduit in the telling of neo human myths.
