[Opinion] To Join or Not to Join

[Aeternus]

Arguably e-groups are not groups at all. For a group one needs trust and bonds, which are really iffy online. Online anyone can be a baaad-ass mage. It's a lot like online dating: Prince Charming might turn out to be Ted Bundy, or at least a real-life Kyle Schwartz.

True indeed

I mostly am a loner when it comes to practicing magic.

It sounds way too much for me to do group rituals and such. That's my personal take on it.

And it is also because of trust issues due to largely finding bad e-groups either of JoS or other morally scarce groups, and that is what made me more like, nuh-uh when it comes to e-groups.

I wish you luck with your friends though. You are pretty lucky to have such contacts .

Also, chapeau for hearing the fact that you are willing to practice the theater thing again if it would be for magic

Thank you! I hope to get my friends to get back to our monthly meetings soon. We never did any rituals because of our distance and the fact that we all have such different beliefs and paths. Group rituals are also hard and take a lot of preparation (much like a play), so I'd want my fellow ritualists to be devoted and trustworthy. I feel like the right vibe can be hard to nail (and theater is rife with drama and big personalities... sort of like some occult groups haha)
