Working with Symbols in Practical Esotericism

Succulent Propagation-the Power of Asceticism

Stephanie Quick September 4, 2022 6:44 pm

A discussion of the practical esotericism involved in working with egregores, the subtle structures which overshadow, inform and enliven various groups of people.

Via Tui Snider, a ritual for disposing of a US flag which involves paying respect to the flag and reciting the pledge of allegiance while it is destroyed by fire. It is easy to see how this intention and ritual recitation will serve to enhance the performer's connection to the egregore of the US nation.

Working With Egregores: Practical Considerations

Stephanie Quick March 3, 2022 12:56 pm

Much of the information promulgated by adherents of the ‘Missing 411 Mystery’ is inaccurate and or incomplete, as well as being very exploitative of people caught up in real human tragedies. ****This video includes discussion of distressing deaths.****

My friend Dr. Matthews has a video here which is complementary to mine, she approaches this topic from the angle of developing databases and resources, and of evaluating academic/scientific theories.
