What you’ll learn:

The Basics of Python

Learn Python, one of the most accessible yet powerful programming languages. Whether you're an absolute beginner or a seasoned developer, this course covers everything from basic syntax to using real-world data and APIs to create your own digital projects—with a witchy approach!
A More Inclusive History of Computing

Discover the untold stories of cis and trans women, non-binary, and queer folk who pioneered computer science, weaving together technology and intuition. We’ll begin in Africa with the origins of mathematical objects, the binary system, and alchemy. From early programmers to modern innovators, this course dives deep into the hidden history behind the code.
How to make Digital Spells & a Tarot Desktop App

Infuse your coding journey with creativity and spells. You’ll dive into hands-on projects like crafting digital spells and building a custom tarot deck application using code, blending the realms of witchcraft and computer science. And don’t worry—you don’t have to be a practicing witch to benefit from this class!

In 2025 joined Tanya Miller at Public Display in Seattle to talk about witchcraft, art and science. I use my Irish name Thréinfhir for my artwork.

My conversation with Jason Arcanum of Exploration Arcanum is available on YouTube & Spotify. Check it out!

Featured Project: Magpie Tarot, Jory Dayne

Jory created an experimental oracle modeled on the Tarot de Marseille & The Mabinogi, built in Python and illustrated in dialog with generative tools.
“ It was built on my love of the Mabinogi, medieval pilgrim badges, and schariwari amulets.” - Jory Dayne
Jory created a tarot interface in Python, working off the lessons in Intro to Python.
Each amulet is a collage Jory built out of raw material generated with Midjourney using zeroshot-, image-, blend-, and remix-prompts using photos from the Celtic collection at the British Museum and more.

STUDENT PROJECTS

Katie began work on a long term project combining sound and music with her Tarot App. We’ll continue to work toether to esure her unique vision is realized.
Soren learned how to build a Tarot App using libraries like Tkinter, Pillow and random. This allowed them to customize the graphics & fonts. Check out the pop-up window with a crystal ball that points at the images “traveling through the ether.”
Juliet learned how to prompt DALLE-3 using the OpenAI API in Python, resulting in this deck that is a synthesis of two influences she chose: Alister Crowley’s Thoth Tarot Deck and the work of artist Hilma af Klint.
Jane learned how to make a Tarot App that dynamically generated cards using OpenAI. Although her text prompts were the same for each card, the resulting card was always unique!
