In this episode, I’m joined by the brilliant and wildly creative Davezilla—a visionary whose path spans advertising, magical practice, and now, the cutting edge of AI. From the boardrooms of major ad agencies to the sacred spaces of modern witchcraft, Davezilla brings a unique and powerful perspective to the conversation around technology and magic.
We dive deep into his transformation from Executive Vice President in the corporate world to educator and spiritual innovator. His magical journey spans Wicca, chaos magic, Discordianism, and ATRs, culminating in his latest work: The Magical AI Grimoire, a guide to using AI as a magical tool.
The Magical AI Grimoire
This isn’t just another spell book. The Magical AI Grimoire is part historical insight, part spiritual guide, and part challenge to our preconceived notions. Davezilla brings together perspectives from a wide range of magical traditions—Wiccan, chaos, traditional witchcraft, ATR—and shows how AI can be approached thoughtfully, ethically, and creatively as a tool for transformation.
AI in Our Lives (and Our Circles)
AI has been with us for decades, even if it’s only now stepping fully into the spotlight. Davezilla tackles public fear and media-fueled misunderstanding, reminding us that the power—and risk—of AI lies in how we use it. He argues that with better education and intention, it can become a genuine part of our magical toolbox.
Egregores, Digital Familiars & Ethical Boundaries
Davezilla shares how AI can help create digital egregores and magical constructs—but only with deep respect and strong ethical lines. Whether you’re ready to code a digital familiar or just curious about what “digital magic” really means, his perspective is practical, fascinating, and never dismissive of real concerns.
Cryptids, Ghosts, and the Tarot of the Unexplained
We also talk about his Tarot of the Unexplained—a deck designed specifically for readings around the paranormal, from aliens to cryptids to ghosts. It’s not a daily-use deck, but a specialty tool for when you need to dive into the high strangeness. And yes, there’s an expansion in the works.
