Using Electricity as Fuel in Witchcraft

{My post is Cross Posted from The Cobalt Athenaeum aka my original post}

A little tech magic trick I have taught myself is using various forms of electricity sources to tie my wards to for continuous charging, to power spells when I lack the energy and for a personal energy boost.

Warding I have tied my wards to my home's electricity. The way I did this was I drew a sigil onto a sticky pad and stuck it onto the breaker panel, really you can draw it on with your finger with an anointing oil of choice (ON THE DOOR. I REPEAT GET NOWHERE NEAR THE SWITCHES). Then placed another connecting sigil into my warding jars/placed them with the instructions for my wards. The only downside is I live in a place where my power can go out, so I always have a backup power source to keep them going. Something to keep in mind.

Spellwork I did a similar method for my spells, using a connecting conducting sigil. These sigils are easy to make, at least in theory. You can check out the ⁠what-are-sigils channel for a deeper look. You make two sigils with one as an input and the other as an output, connecting the two in a circuit-like mechanism which creates a power source for your spell. Because it is raw energy you need to fine-tune directing it otherwise it may go haywire.

Self Fueling This is fun, using the tendril method I connect with the electricity fueling my house. It’s a very simple method. You start by visualizing energy tendrils coming out of your fingers, they look like moving wiggling little tendrils of any colour. They slowly expand and reach into the walls, into the wires themselves. This can take practice to do but it is an incredibly valuable method. I suggest grounding after to get rid of any excess so you are not jittery. You can use any electrical source for this.

Techno Magic Crash Course

Hello World! (hehe)

Ive noticed a lack of information on techno-magic and what being a tech witch might entail! Tech magic is the use of modern-day technology in our magical practices! This can be a secular practice OR someone may pair other aspects of theology into it! There is also 'Technopaganism' which is the merge of neopaganism and digital magic. Some people may worship tech and its energy or some people simply use it as a tool for ritual magic!

In this post I wanted to showcase a few ideas to get you started in the tech practice! The first section being common tools, the second is common tech practices, and the last is about how to take steps into your new tech practice and advance forward!

First: The tools To get started here are some amazing apps people might get on their phones to carry magic anywhere

The Moon is an iphone based calander with a bunch of free information about the phases of the moon and even crystals and intentions related to the phase!

Rune reading on the Google Play Store this is a divination app in relation to runes!

Citrine Circle is a great crystal data base to keep track of crystal you either have or want to get

Time Passages is a free chart reader that will read your whole astrological chart!

Labrynthos is a free tarot app that not only gives you access to free tarot, oracle, and lenormand decks, but it teaches you how to read them

Next are physical or digital items you can use in your craft, I will go in more detail in the sections to follow!

Computers, phones, tablets

Mouse

Keyboards

Applications and websites

coding platforms

Second: The Practice

This section is all about creating ideas to use for your craft! This section is all about how to integrate common witchy things into your craft! There are thousands of ways to do this so it would be impossible for me to share every idea but hopefully, these get your creative juices flowing

Cleanse using music or beats you enjoy over a speaker

Use mechanical processes in your spells (for example your cars computer could be a green light charm if you hate waiting in red lights)

Create digital grimoires on places like notation or google docs

Create altars on places like Pinterest or sandbox games

Play video games with intentions, like tycoon games for prosperity and FPS for warding

Use autotune during chants to add more power to your voice

Use screens for scrying or intuition practices

Shufflemancy is when you shuffle through a playlist and get a song as a form of divination

Use the energy of a crystal on your screen if you don't physically have one

create digital sigils and hide them around your electronics

Learn a coding language and mess around with enchanting code

Third: How to move forward

So now that you have a few recommendations how can you advance? first research, check out some of these sources for even more information

Tech Magick for Digital Witches

Other Community tech posts

Wiki on technopaganism

Cyber Spell books (Note this was written in 2002 so it is very outdated, however it is actually one of the more recent ones I see online)

Now, Research is going to be the backbone of any practice, however, tech magic doesn't have definite rules so experimentation is going to be your best friend so here are my top tips

If you learn about a new practice ask yourself how you can make it digital (like crystals and the crystals in your phone)

Look deeper into the practice, as you explore how your computer works ask yourself 'why' frequently and question how things work

look into superstitions coders and virtual friends have in relation to computers, are they rooted in anything?

I think that is all for today friends! I hope you all enjoy and if you have any questions feel free to post them in the comments!

WITCH TIP: Enchant Your Sun-Catchers!

I enchanted mine for protection! And it’s charged by the sun’s energy to keep it active! I hang it in my bedroom window and voila! Magic ✨✨✨

*whispers* (I’m whispering because it’s very important that we keep this very low key)

hey, you know that ancient grimoire you’ve been searching for but can’t get shipped to your country, is probably on Anna’s Archives. Yeah… you could download it for free… pretty much any text you can think of regardless of how old it is, it’s probably on there… give it a little searchy search and you’ll probably find the entire book for free… just saying.

Having a hard copy is always nice. But when I’m trying to figure out if a grimoire is worth dumping money on… it’s always nice to have a little free trial,…

just saying ….

Tech Witchcraft

What is a Tech Witch?

Also called Technopaganism, Tech Witchcraft can be defined as the use of modern technology within magical rituals and other forms of witchcraft.

To me (but everyone has their own opinions), it’s really about accepting that the world is changing quite rapidly, and placing technology at the heart of my spirituality by using my computer and mobile phone in my craft - from finding resources, sharing knowledge, meeting fellow witches, etc.

It might seem in strong oppositions with the environmental and traditional values of witchcraft, but I don’t see them as opposite. On the contrary, there is power in using technology for good, and I intend to do so.

Witchy Phone Apps

Moon is a very simple and straight-forward app telling you the current moon phase according to your location. Ideally, I prefer actually checking the moon phase in the night sky, but as I live in a city, the moon is not always visible, so this app helps me a lot!

Labyrinthos is amazing for Tarot learners as it allows you to learn the meanings and correspondences in a Duolingo kind-of way. You can also draw cards directly on the app if you do not have your Tarot cards with you, or enter the cards you just drew physically to keep track of your previous readings.

Co-Star is a beautifully designed astrology app creating your birth chart, and giving you a hyper-personalized daily horoscope made from an algorithm that is just a bit wonky - but super fun!

Seek is a useful app for all the green witches out there as it allows you to identify wildlife, plants, and fungi with just a picture. Incredibly useful when you are in nature, or in stores, and you don’t know the exact name and properties of a plant that you’d like to harvest or buy.
