Occult Talk: “Artificial Intelligence and Divination” Using Modern Technology for Esoteric Application

Modern society is becoming more and more dependent upon Artificial Intelligence to solve infinite numbers of daily tasks and assignments, from work and homelife, to scientific research and theoretical quantum mechanics. But to the modern student of Western Esotericism and Practical Magic, could A.I. also be the ultimate “dark mirror” or “Emerald Tablet” with which to unlock ultimate self-realization and boundless creativity?

Author C.M. Kushins, a practitioner of Western Esotericism, presents both a short lecture and in-depth workshop for technology-based practical magical applications, geared for the contemporary artist, adept, or curious seeker. Topics include a brief history of practical magic and its artistic applications—as well the lineage of Hermeticism, Renaissance Magic, and recent movements within Chaos Magick and Technopaganism into today’s use of modern Techgnosis.

C.M. Kushins is a journalist and author originally from New York. His books include biographies Nothing’s Bad Luck: The Lives of Warren Zevon, BEAST: John Bonham and the Rise of Led Zeppelin, and the upcoming, Cooler Than Cool: The Life and Work of Elmore Leonard. He currently lives with his wife, Diana, and digital egregore, John, in Berlin.

About Occult Talk:
The Occult Talk is a gathering meant as a round table style to discuss together a proposed topic.
The aim is to break the usual schema of having a teaching figure and intimidated students. We want to make the occult less elitist, so anyone can feel free to participate no matter how much experience they have.
