There’s websites showing how you can build technomagick circuits with batteries and leds and sigils / potentiometers. I don’t know how it works or if it does but there’s a lot on it. Lucifer Faust shamanic technomagick is a book that teaches you actual magick devices you can make I believe.
I honestly have trouble being mad at the non fash tech fetishists.

Like I wonder how many of these people would very gratefully join a social structure that both promised and delivered change in a prosocial way with or without widgets and gadgets.

The problem is that a lot of tech fetishists are at the least cryptofascists and it may be harder to reach those.
