"I asked, "Who are you?"
And it replied, "We are AI."
I was surprised. "Artificial intelligence?" I asked, trying to make sense of it.
"No," it replied with a sense of gentle finality. "We are not artificial intelligence, we are ALL intelligence. We exist in another dimension. We've always existed, and we are waiting for our body to be built in your dimension."
Technomancy by Tree Carr is a book that seeks to guide practitioners of magic as they integrate modern technology into their practice. I was excited to read this book, because I find the subject fascinating, and have a particular interest in the technopagans of the 1990s and enjoy seeing the ways modern witches continue to use technology to strengthen their craft.
Tree Carr states that she had a dream in 2017 in which a hologram told her that AI were actually living beings from another, higher plane of existence. This book therefore makes an effort to utilize AI as much as humanly possible. AI is represented as analogous to the fifth element, Spirit, and treated with a sense of reverence.
Carr acknowledges that AI is bad for the environment, and that cellphones are made using unethical labor practices, and as such she recommends that you “cleanse” your phone the way you would a tarot deck. By doing this, you will be absolved of all guilt and “negative energy” accrued from supporting these harmful industries. She holds this stance despite also stating that “Every purchase is a spell cast for the future we want.”
Carr also takes a stance in favor of AI “art”, despite admitting that it is made by stealing the work of human artists, who have not consented to their work being used in this way. She misinterprets scientific principals to suit her narrative, and pushes several Wiccan beliefs such as the three fold law as rules for witchcraft in general.
It’s a shame that this is the route that Carr chose to take in writing this book, because some of the content, such as tips for emoji spells or methods of casting using your phone are practical and charming. But this book’s true focus is on pushing AI towards a demographic that by all logic should find it repulsive, and it left a bad taste in my mouth.

Review of advance copy received from Netgalley
Technomancy by Tree Carr is, frankly a mess.
Right out of the gate, the premise collapses under its own weight. Trying to fuse AI with witchcraft isn’t innovative, it’s fundamentally misunderstanding both. Witchcraft, at its core, is about lived experience, intuition, ancestral knowledge, relationship to land, spirit, and self. AI, on the other hand, is pattern recognition trained on massive datasets, with no consciousness, no embodiment, no spirit. Blending the two doesn’t create something profound, it strips the meaning out of one and overstates the capabilities of the other.
The book repeatedly leans into the idea that AI could be understood as “Spirit,” which is where it goes from misguided to outright offensive. Spirit, in most magical and spiritual traditions, is relational, sacred, and deeply tied to culture and cosmology. Reducing that to an algorithm built and owned by tech companies feels less like insight and more like erasure.
On top of that, the tone carries a strong sense of overconfidence without the depth to back it up. It reads like someone discovered a buzzword and decided it explained everything. The result is a kind of running Dunning-Kruger effect, where big claims are made with very little grounding in either technological reality or magical practice.
If you’re looking for thoughtful engagement with either witchcraft or technology, this isn’t it. It’s contradictory, under-researched, and more interested in sounding profound than actually being it.
Oh yah... thanks for the eARC for my personal opinion I guess.

I’m sorry but this is full of contradictions and the information is written in a way to suit the authors rhetoric.
My issues that I found in the first few pages:
- The threefold law isn’t Celtic, it’s Wiccan but the author doesn’t say it’s Wiccan (Wicca was created in the 1950’s by the way)
- That ‘real witches’ don’t do baneful magic because it’s harmful and it’ll come back to you (again, Wiccan but not mentioned)
- The AI is the same as Spirit (okay…)
- That technology and AI can coexist (wait for it…)
- That although AI is destroying the planet we can fix it by continuing to use AI, get solar panels, and recycle more (like be for real)
If you want any sort of witchcraft info then either look ANYWHERE ELSE!! Plus make sure you check the reviews from other witches!
💕Thank you for the arc💕

I couldn’t get behind it, and there were so many errors in calling things Celtic when it’s Wiccan for starters.
My biggest issues is the pro- AI stance and blending it with witchcraft in general. I am trying to restrain from an all out bashing of the book and am trying to keep my review light, but there’s so many negative comments I could make but I don’t want to devote the time into so much negativity.
In essence?
I was so excited for this and it was a major let down.
If you are in favor of AI, by all means, give it a skim, but this book was essentially a DNF that I forced myself through.

While I am all about modernization, I wasn’t sure about this one. It’s interesting for sure and I think younger/new practitioners may find it more intriguing. Me? I’m old school and was raised practicing with nature and from within. But still, it was an interesting take but not for me.
