The practice of Neo-Technomagick can be seen as a multifaceted approach that encompasses the application of our theories to rituals, incantations, and spells, but it also extends to how practitioners engage with technology and digital environments in their everyday lives.

By framing Neo-Technomagick in this broader context, one can appreciate that it is not just about specific rituals or spells but about a holistic lifestyle that intertwines the magickal with the technological in meaningful ways.
The self-initiation process serves as a transformative gateway, allowing you to step into the world of Neo-Technomagick independently. Unlike other magickal systems that often require initiation through a coven or group, Neo-Technomagick recognizes the power and potential within each individual to forge their own path. In the presence of technology, we are never alone; we are connected to a vast network of information and energies that can enhance our practice.
This initiation empowers you to:
Through self-initiation, you embrace your role as both a practitioner and a creator in the realm of Neo-Technomagick. You are encouraged to experiment, innovate, and push the boundaries of what is possible, forging a personal path that contributes to the rich tapestry of this evolving magickal discipline.
Through this initiation, you will embark on a six-day journey that combines ritual, meditation, and practical exercises designed to:
As you begin this initiation, know that you are not alone. You are part of a growing network of Neo-Technomancers, each contributing to the evolution of this unique practice. Embrace the journey with an open heart and mind, ready to explore the limitless possibilities at the intersection of magick and technology.
You are encouraged to adapt and innovate within each step of the self-initiation to ensure a maximum personal connection to your practice as a Neo-Technomancer. That being said, it is advisable to read the following self-initiation guide thoroughly to familiarise yourself with the process and prepare your materials etc.

Visualize your pseudonym glowing with energy, merging with your essence.
Allow this energy to flow through you, solidifying your new identity.
When you are ready, slowly bring yourself back to a normal state of awareness. Close your eyes, take deep breaths, and ground yourself.
Immediately after the ritual, take time to record any sensations, emotions, or insights you experienced in your journal. Reflect on the significance of this transformation and how it will guide your future practice.

For those without access to AR/VR technology, there are creative alternatives that remain impactful. One effective option is to create a "mind-movie." This involves crafting a digital video or animated sequence that narrates and visualizes your goals or magickal themes, allowing for an immersive experience that significantly amplifies your technomantic work.
By integrating both advanced and accessible technologies, practitioners can tailor their visualization experiences to enhance their ritual practices, ensuring that anyone can engage with the transformative power of technomantic visualization.
By integrating smart technology into your spellcraft, you can create a rich and engaging experience that deepens your connection to your intentions and enhances the overall efficacy of your magickal practices.
In essence, Neo-Technomagick empowers you to be a pioneer in the mystical arts, combining the best of tradition and innovation to forge your own path.
