Heard of this before?

Technopaganism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technopaganism) definition on Wikipedia. If you have any info, please let me know, it sounds interesting at the least.

I've heard of it, and been wondering 'bout it as well. But that's as far as I've gotten.

I think this is more of a Chaos Magick subset than a Wiccan one. I know many Wiccans who happily embrace technology, but I don't know of any that consider technology to be a central part of their Wiccan philosophy.

If you're interested in this Technopaganism stuff, you might want to also look up Transhumanism. Here's a link to the Wikipedia entry for Transhumanism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transhumanism).

You might also search MW for technopaganism as it's been discussed here a few times.

Times are changing so are people and their perceptions!! Someday the PC may be very well the alter of the times!! Ya never know! :)

I'll take a look around for it RainInanna, thanks for the link Ben, and Shadow, anything I find about it I'll drop the link off here.

Sounds interesting...though, like Ben said, not really something that is a part of Wiccan practices. 2001: A Space Odyssey's HAL doesn't seem like science fiction now, huh? :P

Here's another term to look for: Extropian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extropian).

Basically a subset of Transhumanism.

Oh, and you might also want to read up on singularity (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_singularity) as well.

Ray Kurzweil's book "The Singularity Is Near" came out last year and is about the whole topic too.
