* (I like messing with Jungian analysis so bear with me here in case it sounds loopy.) His magic only works for others because Kurt is an Animus archetype, a most powerful one: a boundry-crosser, healer, magician, and guide (psychopomp). All the wings and flying symbols associated with him point to archetypal god figures like Hermes (winged sandals & helmet), Thoth (ibis headed), and Odin (the raven is his symbol). Until such time as Kurt finds his own Anima (which sometimes Santana kinda is to him, but not reliably so, and sometimes she pings me as more Ego), he's stuck ferrying other people.
