Practical lineages: what each one is, what it builds, and the takeaway.
A current
Cybermagic
Magic performed on and with computers: the screen is the circle, the process is the servant, the network is the medium.
What it is
Cybermagic is the branch that treats the computer as a magical instrument rather than a metaphor. It is less a doctrine than a habit of building: a sigil in a paint program, a servitor with a folder, a ritual in a chat window.
What it builds
Digital sigils, chat-room rituals, online servitors, hypertext workings, and software that behaves like a small magical instrument.
Background
The machine is not a metaphor for the circle; it is a place where a working can be stored, repeated and audited. Build the audit into the instrument.
