The Future of Craft: Technology vs. Spirituality
Episode 41
Tuesday, 10 June, 2025
Send us a textWhat would experienced witches tell their younger selves if they could go back in time? This question launches us into a fascinating exploration of expectations versus reality in magical practice. The advice is refreshingly practical: take everything with "a truckload of salt," ask persistent questions, and don't be intimidated by more experienced practitioners.The conversation takes a provocative turn as we examine the unsettling emergence of AI worship, where people are prompting chatbots to claim divinity and assign tasks to human "followers." This phenomenon raises profound questions about spiritual hunger in the digital age and where to draw technological boundaries in magical practice. We dive into the challenges electronic devices present in ritual space—they often malfunction within properly cast circles—and ponder the implications of increasingly integrated technologies like neural links. Could participating in ritual eventually become impossible for those with implanted tech?As technology continues advancing at breakneck speed, we consider both its potential benefits for accessibility and serious concerns about isolation. Most troubling is how AI-generated entertainment, customized to individual preferences, might fragment our shared cultural touchpoints and community connections.
