Halloween is a practice preserving archaic human rituals for the protection of society against evil in all forms, including cold, darkness, and ignorance. It is thus fascinating to see an ancient series of varied customs come together in modern day society, and particularly interesting to see it unfold famously in the largest city in the world - Tokyo - which on the surface seems to also be one of the most technologically advanced. In other words, watching ghosts, zombies, etc., wandering technologically advanced and artificially illuminated streets is just surreal. We can find a similar contrast between the works of John Dee and Edward Kelley - with their use of scrying techniques and materials like crystals, gold, or black glass - and the modern practice of speaking to AI-chatbots, which utilize the same materials in their processing. The same can be said about the uploading of personal information to create a digital replica of loved ones - a sort of digital necromancy. From the Talmudic summoning of Christ to the Witch of Endor and Saul’s conjuring of Samuel, to the modern daily communication we have with bots, AI, and the like, things that are programmed with our data, we are engaging in divinatory and magical practices daily. In other words, this high-tech scrying is producing the byproduct of our own unconscious and subconscious in the forming of a digital homunculus that some are calling the anti-christ.
