Techno-Shamans
Definition
Mycal's term for his 1980s Chico State crew who fused surplus military electronics, ritual practice, and storm-chasing into a maker methodology that treated weather as a collaborator rather than a variable. The crew built VLF whistler rigs, lightning-triggered rockets, and a basement railgun, painting charcoal runes on their chests before each test as both invocation and engineering ritual.
