Praise for this book

“What Davezilla has crafted here is a cornerstone for witches living in the 21st century. Rather than adopting a fearful or sanctimonious attitude towards AI and contemporary technology, Davezilla cleverly showcases how it is not only possible but entirely legitimate to integrate and embrace artificial intelligence as more than a mere tool in any witchcraft practice.”
— Cherry Parra, author of The Left-Hand Path of Tarot
“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.”
— from the foreword by Peter Carroll
“I can't love this book more! Davezilla gives you a contrast and comparison of magical traditions while taking you through an entertaining intro course on AI. With all the worry about tech taking over, this is the guide for the magical practitioner to take over tech. This is a natural evolution, as we are masters of the unseen virtual world and now we have our own playground.”
— Jacki Smith, author of The Big Book of Candle Magic

📝 Description: Magical AI Grimoire: A Book of Shadows for Contemporary Chaos

"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 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." --from the foreword by Peter J. Carroll Magic workers have long used the tools at hand for crafting spells and rituals. AI technology has opened a new frontier for magic. Some of the most powerful tools at a magician's fingertips today are computers and smart devices. Magical AI Grimoire helps you to understand how to work with technology--creatively and ethically--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 generative image software to recreate what you've only seen on the astral plane, Davezilla is your guide. Around the world, witches and magicians are finding that technology has a spiritual essence and a mind of its own. Witches and magicians have been using computers to organize sabbats and ceremonies since the early days of electronic communication. Astrology apps were some of the first applications written, and in most covens, it's a good bet that one or more of the members work with computers. Davezilla provides context and history for the evolving uses of AI--from Alexa to Spotify to ChatGPT and beyond--and leads the pioneering, curious magician through a new magical realm with responsibility and clarity of insight.

Occult literature desk
While innovative, this volume may alienate traditionalists who view technology as inherently devoid of spiritual substance or incompatible with ancestral witchcraft. It is not suitable for those seeking classical herbalism or pure ceremonial theory without digital mediation. However, for the tech-savvy occultist, it provides a unique and necessary roadmap. The exploration of AI as a tool for astral visualization is particularly compelling, offering concrete methods rather than vague philosophy. It succeeds in demystifying the intersection of silicon and spirit, making complex digital concepts accessible to magical practitioners ready to redefine their craft in the age of algorithms.
