Sortilège - real or imaginary?


Just watched this great movie again. I like it more every time I see it.

I'm curious what people think of the Sortilège character played by Joanna Newsom. Is she real, imaginary, or both? There are scenes where she's with Doc and Shasta (ouija board) where you'd think she's real, but then what about the scene where she's riding in the car with doc on his way to (I think Golden Fang Enterprises headquarters, where Dr. Blatnoyd is). She seems more like an imaginary internal dialog then.

I'd be interested to hear what others think of this character.

It is odd (deliberately so) i think.

She's also there when he's driving to Chick World and she always seems to know everything.

I am still %51/49 if Shasta's real. I mean the first scene she is real but i am unsure if she's bumped off during the film and Doc's imagining the rest
