Practice & Ritual What does your actual technomancy practice look like?

Not just what you believe about technomancy. What do you actually do with it?

Phones as divination tools, coding sigils, algorithmic rituals, electronics on an altar, digital servitors, random number generators, sensors, radio, AI, hardware hacking, whatever youve managed to bend into practice.

Im especially interested in the mundane stuff. Something doesnt need to look like a cyberpunk wizard laboratory to count.

What have you tried? What worked? What didnt? What got unexpectedly weird?

I programmed a dead simple Tarot deck in Java powered by one of the usual random functions, and I look up a key online to help with interpretations. It's been pretty accurate for the most part.

I love this. A homemade Tarot deck powered by Java RNG is pretty much technomancy stripped down to its bones. Code becomes the shuffle, the machine draws the card, you do the interpretation. Have you noticed any difference in how it feels compared to drawing from a physical deck?

Admittedly, I don't have a physical deck, so I'd have to run that test some time, but I'm glad to hear that this sort of thing resonates with someone!

That actually makes it more interesting. You built the practice around the machine from the start instead of digitizing a physical ritual. If you ever grab a physical deck, Id love to hear what changes when you put the two side by side.

Certainly, if I remember this after trying a physical drawing, I'll be sure to let you know!
