hello! I'm searching for resources about technomancy, does anyone practice or have any books, manifestos, blogs, coding spells, githubs, etc? ^^
To clarify, I’m a programmer, so I know code perse, I’m not searching to learn js to make a spell, I'm more about the why that could work and what it means! I’m interested in the ramifications and the theory behind code, electricity, modern communication, and how it relates to the magik. I'm interested in the theory of how to incorporate it not as in learning programming, but the spiritual charging of technology and how we interact with it. How technology is, in most cases, our daily words in daily forms of connecting to others and information. How electromechanical pieces of our tech are made from a charged quartz at a specific frequency. How it's being co-opted by capitalism to sell us stuff and how studied math is applied to our feeds for reprogramming our heads. How cyberspaces are made for becoming commodification of ourselves and our sorrow, how impactful is our tw feed to our mood when it's programmed to make u sad or angry so you stay there. How this is all electricity and WE are all electricity. How magical is it that we can create something that says "Hello World!" with a few words. Are bites alive in a way? Is the soul electricity? Isn't there some residual energy in the thing you have in your hand or pocket all day and look for at least an hour (or a lot more) a day? How it's impossible to generate something truly random, how we can make a USB with an entire world inside, how we can have a cooperative way of creating communities and sharing information aside from corpos. Where do technology and science intercept the esoteric, and how could it be threatened away from our hands? Is that thing you saw on the internet today a sign from the divine or just an algorithm that wants to lure you in on a product? Are algorithmic responses magical too when we made them ourselves and find meaning outside the capitalistic forces that make them in our habitual forums? Do you think is the same to delete a txt file and to burn a piece of paper? Why would infecting a computer with a virus a modern curse? Of course, I love some programming too tho! You can always hit me up with those batch files to read an enchantment, that Linux distro made as an altar, that nodejs API for tarot readings, that auto-generated images that could mean stuff if you interpret them, etc. But right now, I’m trying to find more information about it in a more abstract and thoric way, mostly because I see a real lack of analysis in these important (and some of them alarming) issues! Soo, I'm asking if someone has information about these kinds of things; or at least a little bit of discussion with spirituality and paganism in mind :3
