	Technopaganism - Indranet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Deus en machina/Deus ex machina - Technopaganism asserts the magickal nature of technology, including spirits/gods of machines and computers, the spiritual nature of the Internet, etc (God in the machine) However, it also asserts the converse, that is, the technological nature of magick.
		This ranges form the substitution of technology for traditional tools and symbology to the application of technological (particularly computer science) concepts to magick, such as the invocation of god forms as 'running divine software' or connecting altars and talismans in a sort of client-server model.
		Technopaganism embraces the idea that reality is not completely serious, and that often serves as a foil for human hubris.

	Neopaganism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Through words and role-playing, the technopagan can create any kind of fantasy world he or she desires, put any type of meaning into that environment, while surfing into unlimited and unimaginable sensual experiences.
		The next phase is the Technopaganism practices in the vast reaches of Cyber-reality, linking individuals and groups throughout the real world in a virtual cyber church of paganism.
		Technopagans, Neopagans, Wicca, Heathens, Animists, Shamans, Buddhists, Hindus, Native Americans, Santeria, Voodoo, Satanists, and all other non-Christian worshippers are hungry for a ritualistic, affective, communion with the spiritual world.

	CMC Magazine: The Cyborganic Path
		The other side of the cyberspiritual coin (koan?) is technopaganism, which posits the extension of the divine into computer networks and silicon-based forms.
		Technopaganism acknowledges that the origins of constructed entities and environments are natural, which is to say that bionic or cyborganic enhancement, though artificial, is a natural extension of the representation of the divine and should not be excluded from religious worship.
		You don't have to be a pagan to appreciate this validation of the cyborg as a natural entity, shaking loose the golem/Frankenstein mythos which suggests that "artificial life" is monstrous.

	Susan Gallacher - Technopagans: Hybrid Identities on the Net \| Association of Internet Researchers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		On another level a technopagan might connect with the web as divine space in its own right- as an extension of the divinity a pagan would find in the broader universe; understanding the web to be emergent from that divine space.
		The technopagan individual, the person who is familiar with cybershamanism, who blesses their new laptop, and revels in their MMORPG is an emergent identity unique to this time and place, and has the potential to build into their identity a political nous, a deep community of both ‘real’ and ‘virtual’ relationships, and an ecological consciousness.
		Aspects of technopagan identity which draw worthy attention are ‘technopagan events’, such as the burningman festival in the Las Vegas desert, borne out of the minds of the internet pioneers of San Francisco in the 1980’s; an event often referred to as the ‘technopagan bacchanal’.

		To me, a Technopagan is a person who, as Ldystarlite said, confines most of their practice to the internet, and the computer.
		When I hear the term TechnoPagan I think of someone who is highly computer literate, a programmer or other "techie" by trade (webmaster, network admin, programmer, developer) and who is a practicing Pagan, either solitary or group.
		A Technopagan is simply a Pagan who utilizes modern technology in their beliefs and practices - most notably of course the computer and internet.

	Technopaganism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Associated with this is the use of technological metaphors (most often computer metaphors) to describe spiritual phenomena, as well as the use of symbolism from popular culture in spiritual contexts.
		Indeed, it is the stated objective of the creator of VRML to bring about the merging of the spiritual world with the physical world.
		In the TV show Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Jenny Calendar refers to herself as a technopagan and being a member of a cyber-coven.

		What does the term "Technopagan" mean and imply to you?Pagans who listen to terrible music.....
		Technopaganism, to me, implies someone with magic and skill related directly to their faith in their technologies would be more appropriate.
		In my practice, a technoPagan first and foremost believes that all things are connected.

		This theme was reflected in the presence of the Tantric Temple, the main ritual retelling of the story of Krishna and the Gopi women and a lot of bellydancing (yum!).
		A wide variety of informative workshops on Eastern topics "Devotees of Shiva," "Tantric Ritual," "Taoism" coexisted peacefully on the schedule with events featuring traditional Western paganism (for instance, Druidic practice), contemporary innovations (technopaganism), and timeless concerns (pagan parenting).
		A great discussion of polyfidelity and polyamory developed out of the introductory circle, with a number of participants reflecting on personal experience and sharing what arrangements, agreements and modes of communication had (or had not) worked for them.

	MEME : TechnoPaganism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		For some an essential belief of Technopaganism is the belief of the spiritual side of technology.
		As a sub-belief of this, many Technopagans also believe that things such as buildings, roads, parks and other such items have pseudo-spirits, or totem spirits, of their own.
		The term technopaganism can also be used in relation to a combination of affinity to technology and some kind of pagan (Wiccan, gothic) worldview found relatively often in computer and internet subcultures.

	Urban Shamanism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Urban Shamanism, also known as Digital Shamanism or Psychedelia, is an artistic school of thought born out of the social upheavals of the past four decades, the artistic and technological movements of the 20th century, and the philosophies of various non-western cultures.
		It parallels and is often associated with Technopaganism.
		Within art, the Digital Psychedelic process is the fusion of the biological and technological to elicit a mystical experience, self-realizing truth, or moment of profundity.

		Known as technoshamanism or technopaganism, practitioners, believers, and adventurers saw technology not as artificial and dehumanizing but as the most advanced tool to access the sacred.
		Internet technologies were used as a mouthpiece to disseminate a revived gnosticism to the masses.

		Often more than one religion is found in a single cyberpunk.
		Believe in technology creates also some kind of "new religion" of technopaganism and technoshamanism.
		There is a definite strain of mystical, almost Gnostic sensibility that shows up even among those cyberpunks not actively involved with neo- or techno-paganism, Discordianism, or Zen.

		A Saturday afternoon chance bookstore hunt prompts a chance quote hunt, throwing this from Escape Velocity by Mark Dery.
		Technopaganism conspires with recent philosophical challenges to scientific authority on the basis that, while supposedly objective, it often aids and abets cultural bias or political ideology.
		In a consumate irony, this critique unwittingly allies itself with "creationism" and other fundamentalist Christian critiques of science as a "secular humanist" conspiracy bent on usurping religion's power to make sense of the world around us.

		On the surface, technopagans like Pesce embody quite a contradiction: they are Dionysian nature worshippers who embrace the Apollonian artifice of logical machines.
		But Pagans are also magic users, and they know that the Western magical tradition has more to give a Wired world than the occasional product name or the background material for yet another hack-and-slash game.
		Magic is the science of the imagination, the art of engineering consciousness and discovering the virtual forces that connect the body-mind with the physical world.

		How can you take a day off from work on the Sabbath when there is no Sabbath, there is, in fact, no system of time, of days, of weeks?
		The only religious system I have found that relates to what I am interested in and also takes into account some of these views in technopaganism, a belief set that is quite ill-defined and very rare.
		I can declare myself a Wicca with technopagan tendancies, and practice the Craft as I believe it should be, which would certainly not be untraditional (err…would be perfectly all right and normal), or I can keep searching for what I really am.

		Its technopaganism is skewed pretty far toward the techno side, though.
		HIP is a gathering, says an amused Wessling, where "you'll see these very small igloo-like tents with 17-inch monitors in them."
