It’s time
to stop dodging; to stop fudging
ourselves; to face the current changes.
Not without anxiety but with determination.
Let's unite our voices:
We do not defend nature, we are the nature defending
itself. — Nature, Gaïa, neither mother nor sister,
but force beyond the languages that have
difficulty with the post-genre.
Let's acknowledge
that the master's tools
will not dismantle the master's house.
The very technologies that was reason to dream
of new forms of politica empowerment has turned out
to be the means of surveillance and control for everybody.
It is time
to leave the dualist labyrinths. But let's not be Icarus:
the Sirens are our sisters and we are too keen on
the sensuality of the stones and the
tenderness of the trees to
give in to
transhumanist
pride.
Let's connect
from Earth
to the Noosphere without
rummaging, scratching and desecrate Gaia's
entrails, without spitting in the face of Heaven and
Time the deadly fumes that are mortgaging our futures.
Let’s be actual "saboteurs of big daddy mainframe".
Let's profess
technological autonomy and all forms of emancipation
and empowerment. Let's be inspired by W.I.T.C.H.,
VNS Matrix, Gynepunk, Reclaiming, technoshamanism,
xenofeminism, hyperstition, afrofuturism
and ancestorfuturism without us
adhering entirely to one
or the other.
Let's practice
hermeticism
with a second degree.
We know that speech is the active
material of magic. Let's sometimes try this
alchemy of the verb that modifies reality through
words. Our words have little hybris. They caress the daisies
rather than helping to instantiate the magic. Our power is
domestic and vernacular. Our sorority protects us from
slipping from witch to woman of power. Our
do-it-yourself practices escape religions.
We are not one but labile
& evanescent.
Let's practice
this applied science of
the creation of forms by energy
and the direction of energy by forms.
The forms, structures, images that we ma-
-nipulate will sometimes lead us out of the
limits imposed by our culture. Our will,
our actions, our directed energy,
our choices made not once but
several times: this is
our magic.
We live
in this 21st
century that use to be
dreamed and is now feared.
Let's invent
for ourselves experimental origins
and traditions. Let's not believe
in divinity, let's connect
with Her.
Let's understand
that everything is interconnected,
that consciousness gives
shape to reality and
reality gives shape
to consciousness.
Let's use
social networks to gather
in spiritual and political rituals. Let's use
smartphones and tarot cards to connect to spirits.
Let's manufacture
DIY devices to listen to invisible worlds.
Let's our astral body travels
through the cosmic plane
of radio waves.
Let's mix
ancestral and
invented methods to reveal
the porosity of the worlds — ours,
the Gods’ we no longer believe in,
the free cosmogony and fictiona
entities' that we create.
We are
corporeal,
biological, incarnate entities,
but also and simultaneously: relational
and informational beings. We are entities with digital
extensions. We live in a physical, technical and digital world.
Let's be hybrid entities living in an hybrid world.
Let's take care of our bodies-hub-server.
Let's treasure
our contemporary everyday
technical equipment. Let
it be part to our
ritual forms.
⧊
Let's say the words.
Let's seek for upsurge.
Let's make the gestures.
Let's manipulate the objects.
Let's perform technophile rituals.
Let's summon archetypal survivals.
Let's call for the emergence of egregore.
Let's seek for a fleeting energetic symbiosis.
Let's practice this art of changing consciousness at will.
Let's be cyberwitches.
