Welcome! Witch Tech 101 is an invitation to think differently about technology as something shaped by ritual, myth, labor, and power rather than a neutral tool or a linear march toward efficiency. These lectures trace how systems of knowledge have always been enchanted, from ancient cosmologies and medieval craft through Enlightenment rationalism and into contemporary cybernetics and self programming. Moving across history, theory, and lived practice, these lectures ask what was lost when magic was stripped from machines and what becomes possible when we reclaim code, circuits, and logic as sites of imagination, refusal, and transformation.
You are encouraged to move through the material at your own pace, returning to lectures and resources as often as needed. If questions arise, you are always welcome to reach out by email or join the Witch Tech Discord, which will become more active beginning January 26, 2026.
