an experiment by The Green Mushroom Project
The 23:Bibliomancy experiment began on May 23, 2022 at 8PM EST. It is being conducted for the purposes of divination and is intended to produce a small corpus of sacred scripture composed of lines arrived at via bibliomancy and arranged via random chance. Each participant submitted the 23rd line on the 23rd page of the book they had selected, rolled dice for the order of the placement of the lines, gathered the text together and performed exegesis on whatever we produced. This was done on the 23rd of each month, for 5 months, with the goal of creating a piece of scripture for the group. In the sixth month, participants gathered to perform exegesis on the text arrived at in the first five iterations of the experiment. Automatic writing was then conducted and the results fed into an online cut-up generator, producing the 6th Book. For iteration 7 and those that followed, we returned to our normal protocol. Each month on the 23rd day, participants meet online to add the 23rd line of the 23rd page from the book that “wants” to participate. After these lines are compiled, dice are rolled to see what order they will be arranged in. The resulting text is then discussed. This experiment will run for 23 iterations.
The exegesis we’ve conducted on the portion of the scripture we’ve discovered so far has been used for a variety of divinatory applications. As the Green Mushroom Project nears its third birthday (founded October 31, 2020), we are now preparing to celebrate by choosing five random lines from the text which will be used to inspire the ritual we will conduct to celebrate.
“When I designed this experiment, I wanted there to be a way for participants to enter a “digital ritual space” together before conducting the work of arranging the lines by rolling dice. Having had good results with using audio magick tracks produced for this purpose in other scenarios, I decided to produce a special 23:Bibliomancy track. I first searched for sound clips in the public domain using “23” as the search request. I used these sound clips to create a sonic collage (something I play with often in my experiments with audio magick and music). For the first five months, I added the text we had discovered the previous month to the track, creating a new version of it for the next 23rd.” – Luxa Strata
