Description
"Technopagans" are those Pagans who incorporate technology into their practices. They view electronics as a part of the natural world and find symbolic connections between technology and nature. They integrate technology practically, such as using batteries in protection charms or employing scent diffusers to enhance meditation. Technopagans use technology in rituals and virtual covens, reflecting the adaptability of Paganism to modern contexts.
