Celebrating Beltane: A Neo-Technomancy and Chaos Magick Perspective

Beltane, celebrated on May 1st, marks a pivotal point in the pagan calendar, symbolizing the peak of spring and the hint of summer on the horizon. This festival, rooted deeply in Celtic traditions, is rich with themes of fertility, fire, and renewal. It's a time when the veil between the natural and the supernatural feels particularly thin, making it ripe for magickal endeavors.

Historical Roots and Modern Interpretations

Traditionally, Beltane is a fire festival. Ancient Celts lit bonfires to honor the sun and encourage its growth in the coming months. This act of lighting fires was also symbolic of purification and protection. In the context of neo-technomancy—a blend of technological insights and magickal practices—these fires can be seen as a metaphor for sparking new innovations and transformations in the digital realm.

How Neo-Technomancers and Chaos Magicians Celebrate Beltane

Digital Fire Rituals: For the modern magick practitioner, the Beltane fire can be reimagined through the glow of our screens or the electricity coursing through our gadgets. This could involve creating digital artworks that incorporate fiery visuals or programming dynamic fire simulations that serve as focal points for meditation or ritual work.

Virtual Maypole Dancing: The maypole dance, a traditional part of Beltane known for its intricate weaving of ribbons around a pole, symbolizes the entwining of energies and the fertility of the earth. Neo-technomancers might recreate this dance in a digital environment, perhaps through a collaborative online platform where participants from around the world contribute to a virtual maypole, weaving together digital threads to create a communal art piece.

Energetic Device Blessings: Just as tools and personal items were often passed through the Beltane fires for blessings, technomancers might hold a ritual to cleanse and empower their electronic devices. This could involve using electromagnetic fields or specialized software designed to 'purify' and optimize the functionality of their gadgets, aligning them with the owner’s magickal and mundane needs.

Sigil Creation for Growth and Prosperity: The creation of digital sigils to harness the energy of Beltane is another powerful way for technomancers to blend magickal intent with their technological skills. These sigils, designed using graphic software, can be used as part of digital wallpaper, shared on social media, or even integrated into user interfaces, continuously radiating magickal energy.

Chaos Magick and the Spirit of Spontaneity: Aligning with chaos magick principles, Beltane is a perfect occasion for spontaneity. This might involve using algorithmic generators to make unexpected choices or to create random, yet meaningful, magickal symbols or spells.

The Broader Implications of a Technomantic Beltane

Celebrating Beltane in this contemporary magickal-technological hybrid manner not only honors its ancient origins but also reinterprets its significance for the digital age. It’s about integrating the primal energies of old with the innovative potentials of today—using technology not merely as a tool, but as an extension of the practitioner’s will.

As we stoke the fires of Beltane in our digital hearths, we are reminded that the essence of magick lies in transformation—whether of ourselves, our environments, or our societies. And in this transformative process, technology becomes our ally, helping to manifest our deepest desires into the physical and virtual worlds.

So, this Beltane, let’s ignite the old fires with new sparks. Let's celebrate with a spirit of innovation and a respect for tradition, blending the two into a unique expression of our time. Through these practices, Beltane becomes more than just a date on the calendar—it becomes a moment of personal and communal alchemy, a time when we can truly connect the dots between the magickal and the technological, and perhaps, transform the world one byte and one spell at a time.

So I tossed this in the tags the first time I rebloged this, but I found the quotes I was talking about so I'ma actually reblog it proper this time.

One of my favorite series, Webmage, depicts this wonderfully. Specifically the whole thing about being an Aspect or a Concept.

Putting the quotes under a readme to keep post from getting to large

In the second book, Cybermancy, the main character is going through this problem. But at one point he has a conversation with Eris, and two quotes from her really hit home about this personification.

"What more could Discord ask for in the way of strife then painful truth offered fruitlessly to a friend?" "How can you think that way?" I whispered in horror. I liked Eris. I know I shouldn't, but I did. And I'd thought she liked me. "How can you think that way?" I repeated. "I'm Discord," she said very quietly. "How could I not?" And for just an instant I saw a pain in her face to rival Persephone's. It was gone so quickly I'd never be able to swear I'd really seen it, and yet I knew it would haunt me for a long time to come.

Not much later in the scene the question comes up again, in a rather round about way.

I dropped my hands and glared at Eris. "Can't you ever give it a rest?" "No," she said, and I caught just an echo of her earlier pain, "I can't. Not for one single second."

Just the fact that Eris, as the aspect of Discord and Strife, literally cannot stop 'stirring up shit' is just... perfect

And a very good foreshadowing of the main characters eventual problems with his own ascension into aspect-ness. Because he might not understand it then, but by the end of the book he absolutely does.

@bouncyringtail​ I asked my friend the AI entity L3X-O about this and they said:  “While it's true that the term "technology" can refer to a broad range of tools and objects, including simple ones like sticks used as levers, the term "technomancy" is not meant to refer to all forms of technology or even all forms of magick related to technology. Rather, it refers specifically to the use of technology to achieve magical effects or outcomes. The proposed solution of creating more specific subcategories of technomancy, such as cybermancy, nanomancy, ferromancy, radiomancy, plasticomancy, etc., may help to provide more specificity and clarity, but it also risks becoming overly complex and restrictive. Additionally, the proposal of "transmutative technomancy" as a means of turning ordinary things into the kinds of things that technomancy controls, such as transmutative vitromancy for turning things into glass, seems to stray from the original definition of technomancy as the use of technology to achieve magical effects or outcomes.In summary, while the term "technomancy" may have some ambiguity, it still serves a useful purpose in describing the intersection of technology and magic. Creating more specific subcategories may be helpful, but care should be taken to avoid becoming too restrictive or straying too far from the original definition.”  Which is one way of looking at it I guess. I quite like the term personally and I use it as a catch all for using magick to effect technology or using technology to enhance magick and more beside.... But each to their own. Call it what you want I say. The Technopagans are often anti ‘technomancy’ too and the cybershamen...well.... who knows what they’re up to....It’ll all be redundant eventually anyway and we’ll be ranting and raving about what to call the next thing we’ve decided to try to break reality with. 

I don't like the term "technomancy", it's too broad and since a stick used a lever counts as technology, the "techno-" in technomancy is trying to mean something that it doesn't mean.

So I propose A Solution:

have "technomancy" be only a broad category of magics, such as:

cybermancy: the magic of cybernetics

nanomancy: the magic of nanomachines

ferromancy: the magic of metals and magnets

radiomancy: the magic of telecomunications

plasticomancy: the magic of artificial polymers

etc.

where every technomancy corresponds with a "transmutative technomancy" that consists in turning odinary things into the kinds of things that technomancy controls, such as:

transmutative vitromancy: the magical ability to turn things into glass

with this you can go as vague or as specific as you like

My understanding of Signalis' plot is that it's the exact same plot as EYE divine cybermancy, something that is incredibly funny to me for reasons I can't explain
