Abstract
This chapter addresses the more esoteric attempts of pedagogy in the post-Anthropocene. Issues of magick, shamanism, witchcraft, and animism (once more) are examined. The concept of aisthesis comes up within the concept of Deleuze and Guattari’s theorizations on affect and the inhuman. These are aspects that relate to the Outside by way of cosmology and metaphysics. Another aspect of Indigeneity is introduced by way of traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) in relation to the way language ‘carries’ a culture’s unconscious and conscious embodiments. The last section looks at the idea of toxicity in the context of Indigeneity.
