technowitch thought: your sleeping laptop screen is a black mirror. your dead tablet screen is a black mirror. your phone is a black mirror you carry everywhere with you. use it for downtown scrying. use your e-reader, fitted snugly into a wall-mount above your altar. use your desktop screen, powered off, and type messages across the digital river to what lies beyond.

Minecraft witchery? What even is that tho???

Well, anonnynon, that is what myself and apparently some other techno witches are trying to figure out! :3

So far, I haven’t done much magics in my World of Witchcraft on Minecraft singleplayer, but in my mind, I’ll develop that world to include some sympathetic magic via parallel construction sites to mirror the waking world; very probably sigils made of wool or iron or whatever materials seem appropriate at the time; CIRCUITRY SIGILS using redstone; I’m just tossing out ideas right now, have yet to give ‘em a “test-run!” I’d love to see a few Minecrafting witches get together on a server and try shit out together.

Until / unless the actual game developers put any witchy mechanics into it, we’ll have to work out our own magic system. But there’s already potions and enchanting and golems, so, it’s not such a stretch of the imagination as you may at first think.

After a couple months of being trapped in the broken heart of my dead MacBook, peace be with her, I got my music collection rescued this week by a nice couple of people between Covent Garden's Apple Store and Tottenham Court Road's tech-badlands!

The music collection I've slowly built up over 17 years, and has been the background soundtrack of my life for that whole time. Getting cut off from that was a huge blow, I hadn't realized how huge until I spent this entire morning with Shuffle on.

Shuffle's been real excellent to me, pretty much moving back and forth through 3-or-4-year spans of my life, while remaining relevant to what all else is going on today and in the next month. It's like I've gotten an old friend back after I thought I'd never see them again, equal parts catching up, reminiscing, and talking out issues swirling about right now.

If my music collection was embodied, I would cuddle them all day.
