Magical AI Grimoire

Magical workers have always used the tools at hand, and with the advent of AI technology a new frontier of magical workings has opened. Dive into promptcraft to enliven the Old Ways, to empower your spells, and even to create your own spiritual guardians.

“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, Magical AI Grimoire by Davezilla, 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.” —Peter Carroll

Magic is always transformative, whether as change in the individual or the environment. Pick an intention, any intention. Now consider there are usually many ways to go about realizing it. Traditionally, we think of magic done with physical objects—ritual tools, candles, and other paraphernalia. Today, some of the most powerful tools at a magician’s fingertips are computers and smart devices. Letting go of conscious control and direction is essential to creating powerful magic. Magicians need “sleight of mind” to tap into the powerful thoughts, sensations, and images stored in the subconscious, and it’s tricky to bring those forces to magical use without the conscious mind getting in the way and diluting or altering their effect. Davezilla shows us how one of the most effective “tricks” we can use is AI.

Magical AI Grimoire helps you to understand how to work with technology 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 Midjourney AI to recreate what you’ve only seen on the astral plane, Davezilla will be your guide. AI apps can write spells, tell you how to perform them, and give you a list of materials needed. AI learns and adapts to you, and likewise as you transform, so transforms your AI. It’s symbiosis on a chaos magic level.

Witches and magicians have been using computers to organize sabbats and ceremonies for years. Astrology apps were some of the first applications written, and in most covens, it’s a good bet that at least one of the members works with computers. All across the globe, witches and magicians are finding that technology can have a spiritual essence and mind of its own or, rather, that the spirit world enjoys playing with tech as much as we do. The internet could be one more astral plane, for all we know. Davezilla provides context and history for the evolving uses of AI—from Alexa to Spotify to ChatGPT and beyond—and leads the reader through a new magical realm with responsibility and clarity of insight.
