If you ask 15 different occultists what “technomagick” is, you will invariably get 30 answers.

This has always amused me, because after all, technomagick at its very root is just combining the use of technology in some form with magick.

Psychologists and brain scientists have long known that people normally concentrate most of their conscious attention on the things they’re directly staring at, which are usually right in front of them, near the center of the visual field. The periphery, on the other hand, is processed mostly subconsciously and is not brought up to the conscious mind unless something important occurs there, or a person makes a deliberate effort to notice the visual outskirts. In the occult circles it’s common knowledge that the easiest way to actually see weird things like auras, energies, spirits, ghosts, etc is to look out of the corner of your eye.
