Description: "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, and one of the most effective "tricks" we can use is AI. This book helps you to understand how to work with technology in the practice of your magic. AI learns and adapts to you; it's symbiosis on a chaos magic level"--

Brief description: Peter J. Carroll is the author of six books, including classic works on chaos magic, Liber Null & Psychonaut and Liber Kaos. He is past grandmaster of the Magical Pact of the Illuminates of Thanateros, chancellor of Arcanorium College, acting marshal of the Knights of Chaos, and a bard of Dobunni Grove. He maintains a personal website at specularium.org.

Review Quotes: "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

"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. Davezilla invites us to challenge ourselves by incorporating the perspective of a man-made intelligence, which can offer much more than shortcuts, as it helps witches of the present time attune to the currents of change and ride towards the future on the proverbial broom, which is now made of fiber optics, microprocessors, and prompts. A must-read for any witch practicing the craft in this not-so-brave new world."
--Cherry Parra, author of The Left-Hand Path of Tarot
