by Davezilla (Author), Peter J. Carroll (Foreword by)
"Chaos magic offers a great deal of inspiration for creative freedom and innovation in magic, but it also outrages many people who liked to think of themselves as guardians of ancient traditions. This new book seems destined to do exactly the same for the next generation of magicians. Its publication may well prove a seminal moment in the history of magic."
--from the foreword by Peter J. Carroll
Magic workers have long used the tools at hand for crafting spells and rituals. AI technology has opened a new frontier for magic. Some of the most powerful tools at a magician's fingertips today are computers and smart devices.
Magical AI Grimoire helps you to understand how to work with technology--creatively and ethically--in the practice of your magic. Whether you're trying to use promptcraft to perfect a spell, ChatGPT to outline and strengthen a ritual, or generative image software to recreate what you've only seen on the astral plane, Davezilla is your guide.
Around the world, witches and magicians are finding that technology has a spiritual essence and a mind of its own. Witches and magicians have been using computers to organize sabbats and ceremonies since the early days of electronic communication. Astrology apps were some of the first applications written, and in most covens, it's a good bet that one or more of the members work with computers. Davezilla provides context and history for the evolving uses of AI--from Alexa to Spotify to ChatGPT and beyond--and leads the pioneering, curious magician through a new magical realm with responsibility and clarity of insight.
