Magic is to be understood as human–world relatedness, wherein human consciousness, its will and desires, have an effect on natural phenomena, collective fate and physical circumstances.For a long time, Modernism thought that the relationship between human consciousness or agency, and thenatural world or environment, was a closed book, wherein rationality was themaster and the environment was its object.But the mind–world relationshiphas become destabilized in the twenty-first century; ‘magic’ or human–world relatedness is back as a crucial theme. We believe that there is no ossible conclusion to magic – it never stops.
