[2001technomancerr]

Hello tumblrrrrr!

This is a blog about my technomancy journey and my personal internet-based spirituality.

I'm trying to create a practical system of internet mysticism & technomancy that combines various eclectic techniques and beliefs surrounding the internet. As everything on the internet lasts forever, there is a vast backlog of dead philosophies and forgotten knowledge waiting to be rediscovered.

I also want to share the various internet/tech related religious/philosophical beliefs i find, such as The Church of Google, The Knights of Saint Isidore of Seville, The CCRU, et cetera.

I'm planning to create a website as a sort of Altar/Grimoire, but I need to start somewhere. I started this blog as a kind of pre-rough draft so I can share my ideas, revisit them, and refine the system.

Stay tuneddd

I’m fascinated by horror and for me, I feel like I’m drawn to it because of all these things. However my main reason is probably because I relate to it or find it oddly comforting in a way—and no, I can’t elaborate unfortunately. I do not know why the Horrors™️ give me the warm fuzzies

Hey, baby witches, hatchling mages, and second instar sorcerers...

If you see somebody on the Internet claiming they're setting up some kind of spiritual/magical academy, or looking for worthy pupils to teach, or - and especially - looking for a worthy pupil to teach, you need to be very wary.

Literally anybody can claim that they have all kinds of deep, true spiritual knowledge. Literally anybody can scrounge up a few mystical books and learn just enough to make it seem like they know a lot to someone new to magic and mysticism. Anybody can whip up some conspiracy theory to explain why the stuff they just pulled out of their bum three minutes ago isn't accepted by academic scholars and mainstream religion.

(And speaking of conspiracy theories, most conspiracy theories you're going to run into are going to be some variant on The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion and/or blood libel and early modern witch panic. Some conspiracy theorists swap out "Jews" for "the Catholic Church" or something, but it's no less bullshit because the source is the same.)

It's always worth asking yourself, "How do I know they aren't lying to me?" And don't just go with "I can just sense they're telling the truth" because it really does not work that way. What you might be "sensing" is their conviction in their own bullshit. Or they might be a really good liar. Or they might be saying stuff that feels true because it seems to confirm your own biases.

Also, if you see somebody telling you that reaching your highest magical potential means doing some kind of sex magic, or offering to teach sex magic to beginners, run. This person is a sexual predator.

I recommend ESOTERICA and Angela's Symposium to start getting a grounded view of religious and spiritual history, which will make it much less likely you'll fall for a scam.

Also, remember that at the end of the day, vital spiritual or magical knowledge is not locked away with any individual person or even group. The main thing that any specific person or group has is their own take on things, which generally as subjective as anybody else's.

Just because information is commonly available doesn't mean it's automatically bad or wrong. Like yeah, you do need to be critical about what you read in books or on the Internet, but you need to be just as critical with an actual human being claiming to have the really deep secrets.

This hot mess is an up-and-coming rockstar that goes by Van (Insists that you don't call him by his given name). After one too many incidents where one, or sometimes more, of his fans would go missing at his shows, he got muzzled, and he isn't allowed to take it off without his manager's say-so

[Geocities and the death of the Old Web]

Digging through old archives of the early internet brings the realization that the adventure and discovery the internet used to hold no longer exists. websites were once very personal, unique, and decentralized: now most flock to the same four social media sites, variety gone and replaced with corporate content-controlled media.

Gods of the Internet

In modern times, many people will readily recognize the spirit of place (Genius Loci) for just about every location on earth — whether it be rural or urban, ancient or new. Consider for a moment, however, that there are several “places” we frequent every day… but they’re intangible and start with “www.” There are intelligences and spirits assigned to the planets in our solar system. We have…
