ABSTRACT
This chapter describes paranoia with paranoia, listen to imagination with imagination, learn magical ideation with magical ideation, and, below, advocate fighting war with war. All of which is a response to the prodromal movement, a control society, a serpent. The chapter suggests that magic is the composting, enchanting force behind the space-making. It explains how practices of mystery, ritual, and pausing may make a space for otherworldly correspondence, breathing new life into paranoia and psycurity. Moreover, ‘psycurity,’ ‘otherworldly correspondence,’ and ‘magical ideation,’ do not simply replace one think-net with another; as an abstract machine, more-than-human, and magic respectively, they are lively concepts, slipping through attempts to grip them, obliging a responsiveness that is nimble, collective, and accountable. A ‘war on terror’ appears to require a war on imagination, on that otherworldly correspondence that whispers an-other world is possible.
