"Tell me Commander, is Time to Party?" ![Cool :cool: :cool:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
The Conjuring Group's Journal: I intend this journal as a place to present a Wide Variety of my interests, and get things rolling!
I plan to post here "Kind of" regularly, as time permits. I have a LOT of Time, but strangely, since joining this Forum, I've had an incredible desire to "Practice", which I've never let anything interfere with, Ever, for Years! I have a "Rolling" practice, one Major multi-part operation in the morning, then any others that I need or want to engage in for the remainder of that day, works for me! But, so many things to do and accomplish for one Sorcerer!
Standby for some Content... Soon?

WHAT IS a Conjuring Group?:
Good question, the general consensus may be a small group of magical practioners, consisting of a Magister / Magistra, the leading Operator,
usually with a Skryrer, one or more attendants, et al, and possibly, some passive participants within a magical circle gathered together to perform a Rite of Evocation of some random non-physical entity. There are various reasons to convene such a group, not the least of which is that it's a
Lot of Work for One Operator to go alone!
(And.. the Egregore that forms is "More than the Sum of it's Parts!) We Shall Understand WHY That IS, too!
But..., it doesn't Have to be Limited to just Evocation! The Group can perform Many Different Types Magical Operations!
Dion Fortunes"s entire Order acted in Concert to Oppose the Nazi invasion of Britain!
(Though they were constrained by Wartime travel, and other restrictions.) They acted in Concert!
Other examples might be operations of some type of Activism: Political, etc.
I Won't be Advocating any Specifics on Anything, but the Concepts Involved will be Studied in Depth!
So.., We will be discussing some Many Other Interesting Concepts as well, some may even be of Help in an Increasingly Fucked Up time
looming ahead?
STAY TUNED!
N.B.
The Conjuring Group has an "Egregore"!
Many folks will already have an understanding of this as second nature, to those folks I apologize for the repetition!
For those who haven't though, I hope this will give basic insight into what a group like this is all about, even if it's a bit "Stenographic" in it's brevity.
First of all, Egregores are Everywhere in our modern world! The most prominent may well be those created by Multi-National, (Read) Global Corporations? They use "Jingles and Images", plus other cute stuff to try to Hypnotize us into believing they're our Friends! But, sometimes those tactics fail to be effective on some of us "Magical Beings" that have learned to $ee? These things want to affect the "Mass Market".
Point of fact: it's not just Magical Groups that can have an Egregore! Clubs, Schools, et al, have egregores too.
Our Conjuring Group egregore though is designed on Purpose, with specific "Names and Images", and more often than not, a "physical basis", such as a statue, icon, et al, that act as "keys" for the benefit of the Members of the Group! A fairly well known example might be the "GOTOS" of the "Fraternitas Saturni".
We don't share these keys with just any other old "Non-Magical Beings", because it's arguably the Chief source of our "Magical Power"!
Each member has multiple inputs to the egregore, with their "deep" selves all cresting upon a "collective" level that's real handy! There's also the
matter of the Higher level "Agathodaemonic" level too, as well as the normal everyday level of consciousnesses, all contributing to this Powerful
Thought form comprising the Group's egregore! Each member can "Draw" upon the egregore's energy in private workings too.
So, it really Grows to be More than the Sum of it Parts! The real reason Magical Groups are convened in the first place. This is the Collective Life Force of the Group, the Magical Power we shall use to make our Mojo, Juju, Magic/k, and hopefully Not Mayhem! Most groups that I have experienced vary in size between 2-3, to as many as 6-9, there are No obligatory parameters, 3-6 is about optimal, IMO. The Chief difficulty in convening a group like this is one of Sympathetic, Empathetic, Compatibility, it's Damned Difficult to get a group that can Work Together, without "hissy fits", and Silly Ego Bull$hit. I Know it's possible as well though. I will add here that a Well Trained Couple can work some Impressive Magic/k too!
So.., Now we can "Press On" to some of those Other Interesting Concepts that may well be undertaken by our Conjuring Group, you know, those that may be of Use in an "Increasingly Fucked Up" time looming ahead?
If anyone has some thoughts or ideas, well you know that's what this is all about, feel free to help me out here!
STAY TUNED FOR: "Now that we know What it Is, What's it Good For?"
This graphic is a pretty good illustration of the concept!![Thumbs up (y) (y)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

Darn, a day late and a dollar short! I meant to put a link to a good graphic example of an egregore back up there in the proper section, but got distracted, so I'll slip it in here!N.B.
