Before this reading, I was somewhat aware of what shamaism was, so when i saw it next to the word “techno” it seemed very counterintuitive. Why would a practice rooted in spirits and connections be any where near technology. This whole reading made me understand that this relationship isn’t something as opposing as we may initially think. We should treat modern technology as a continuation of the practices of the past, utilizing these various advancements to enhance the experience rather than drawing a line between tradion/custom and modernity.
