Unsettling Witch
& Technoqueer Mystic

The Story So Far . . .

Travelling further into the Therruva Cycle, we come upon the Dying World; known to some as the 21st century CE. This is where the civilisational accumulation of the last 10,000+ star revolutions of the Settled World has brought us. Burnout, heartbreak, rage, depression, isolation, and fear run rampant as fundamental inner states of the Settled World cultures.

The physics of the Settled World refracts its inner states: Despite previously unfathomable accumulation of food and shelter, we move through large-scale starvation and homelessness; accompanied by the mass murder of sapiens, animals, rivers, and plants. All that is forced outside of the made-up boundaries of ‘human’ is enslaved, including the land, some arbitrarily-chosen sapiens, new silicon beings. On the other side of the coin, human abstractions without bodies, like corporations, religions, and states, are assigned superhuman rights, ill-afforded by most sapiens. Joining in is the proliferation of gatekeepers and saviours, racialism, genderism, humanism. Omnipresent surveillance thrives as protestors are locked up. An ever-deepening divide cements itself between the haves and have-nots, fuelled by the Settler World’s obsession with having . . .

. . . But the wheel of Therruva always turns, paving way for the new. The Settled World is ending, and the Dying World has begun! A recent interstellar visitor in our Geshinjli Star System provides a guiding sign and confirms this for us. Others call it by different names; but we, the children of the Dying World, know this visitor as Orthas. Under Orthas’ unsettling gaze, empires are collapsing and settler concepts are cracking. Vocabularies of previous times are becoming redundant. The Dying World is here, and it is a true era of chaos and possibility!

What did we forget in the Settled World, which we need now, to move through the Dying World?
Could witchcrafts and mysticism rewire the pain, disconnection, and devastation lying before us?
Could unconditional love conjure a Dying World so unsettling that we become incomputable to the Settled World?

Being incomputable in the Settled World is to be insane.
But insanity could be liberation in the Dying World . . .

Is it? . . .

Let us be insane together and find out!
