We take the rituals preserved in the world’s ritual literature, the palaces of the Hekhalot, the hymns of the Greek gods, the angelic Calls of John Dee, the hours of the Picatrix, and rebuild each one as a guided, interactive rite you can enter on your phone. Then we let it listen to your brain.
A reading for the day. A reflection for every hour.
Tarot, the I Ching, the runes, the seven planets, the angels and the gods of Greece, Egypt and the North: eight traditions and 225 symbols in one instrument. Your Daily Oracle is sealed for the day; each hour turns it through a new lens; and three sizes of home-screen widget, in Solid, Glass or Transparent, keep the hour in front of you.
Each app follows its source’s own order of operations: purification, invocation, the encounter, the return. Screens below are from the apps on Google Play.
The old rites asked the practitioner to change state, by fasting, chant, posture and silence. The Neuro Edition lets the rite see it happen. Through an OpenBCI or Neurosity Crown headset, live readings of your alpha and theta rhythms decide when the gate opens, the hymn resolves, or the card turns.
Meditation research links practice with rising alpha and theta, and frontal midline theta with sustained concentration. Neurofeedback turns those rhythms into a signal you can learn from in real time.
| Stage | Rhythm |
|---|---|
| Purification | Posterior alpha rises above your baseline |
| Invocation | Frontal theta holds steady |
| Ascent | Alpha–theta crossover, eyes closed |
| Return | Alpha settles back to baseline |
The research behind every app: how each rite actually operated, the manuscripts and editions it survives in, and the scholars who have argued over it.
Head between the knees, whispering hymns: the descenders to the Chariot, the seven palaces and the test of the sixth gate.
A shew-stone, a Holy Table on four wax seals, and angelic words dictated backwards because they were too potent to speak.
Why Saturday follows Friday: the Chaldean order, the unequal hours and the talismans of the Picatrix.
Invocation, reminder, request. Da quia dedi: give, because I have given.
The daily temple ritual of Egypt, ending with the priest sweeping away his own footprints.
Every fifty-two years, every fire put out, and priests on a hilltop watching the Pleiades cross midnight.
Primary texts and their scholarly editions first: what the rite actually asks of the practitioner, and in what order.
Purification, invocation, ascent, closing: each stage becomes a scene with its own timing, sound and image.
Native Android, atmospheric and private: offline-first, no accounts, no ads, with history kept apart from modern practice.
In the Neuro Edition, your own EEG becomes part of the rite, and the experience answers back.
Neuro Edition reservations, institutional and group commissions, research collaboration and press.
