About Davezilla: Illustrator, Author, and Magic Worker

Davezilla is a seasoned tarot reader and initiated practitioner in multiple traditions, including Lukumí, Palo, Wicca, animism, and Chaos Magic. 

He’s been reading tarot since the ’80s and brings a grounded, no-nonsense approach to spirit work; equal parts intuition, experience, and a well-honed bullshit detector. 

He’s the creator of Tarot of the Unexplained, author of The Magical AI Grimoire, and host of Spirit in the Frame, a podcast that explores the liminal territory where art, magic, and meaning intersect. 

Davezilla's work bridges the mystical and the modern, always with an eye toward what’s real, what works, and what just might be trying to get your attention from the other side.

Tarot of the Unexplained was his first deck and book. He regrets admitting he has never met Bigfoot.

The Magical AI Grimoire is his first book.

 The world went through a paradigm shift recently.

AI invaded everything, including magic.

• Witches are using ChatGPT to write incantations to Inanna.
• Chaos magicians are making sigils with software.
• Mages are using Midjourney to find their guardian angels.
• Tarot cards are being drawn by prompts.
• Digital Discordians and  Techno Shamans are a thing.

The blend of magic and tech has long existed, but most occult writers only hint at it. This book deep dives into that intersection and shows how everyone from Santeras to sole practitioners are integrating technology into their magical practices. This is not a theoretical work, but a true practicum for today’s magical worker.

This book is cross-cultural. It includes workings from Wicca, hedge and traditional witchcraft, Santería, Chaos and Discordian magic—even some left-hand path workings.

 This is  magic reimagined for the Age of Assistants. It is a full grimoire showing you how to use incorporate AI in your magical practice today.

Tired of tarot cards about hot vampires, angel-faeries, and Celtic soul journeys? How do they help us understand UFO and cryptid sightings? Lost time or walking into dimensional portals? Weird times call for weird tools. 

This is the deck Fox Mulder would have used on the X-Files. A complete 78-card tarot deck featuring all your favorite cryptids, ghosts, UFOs, and other urban oddities. This is a modern approach to divining and reading the randomness of reality. 

Maybe that sound in your attic wasn’t mice, after all.

Every major arcana card is unique to this deck. Even the court cards aren’t your typical page, knight, queen, and king. They are fans, hunters, advocates, and skeptics. The expected suits of wands, cups, swords, and pentacles are now Sasquatch knocking sticks, dimensional portals, ghosts, and flying saucers, respectively.

Other decks focus on relationships and jobs, and that’s fine. I didn’t. I wanted a deck to help people deal with the fear of encountering a phantasm, or of being contacted by something. These experiences are hard to process, deeply disturbing, and surprisingly common. 

No one else seemed to want to make a deck to deal with it. So I did. Few people ask to see these things. When you have a legitimate experience, there is often a weird guilt feeling like, “Why is this happening to me?” If my deck helps, or even gives you a laugh, I’ve done my job.
