The first book to explore the history and influence of egregores,
powerful autonomous psychic entities created by a collective group
mind * Examines the history of egregores from ancient times to
present day, including their role in Western Mystery traditions and
popular culture and media * Reveals documented examples of
egregores from ancient Greece and Rome, Tibetan Buddhism, Islam,
modern esoteric orders, the writings of H. P. Lovecraft and Kenneth
Grant, and the followers of Julius Evola and Aleister Crowley *
Provides instructions on how to identify egregores, free yourself
from parasitic and destructive entities, and destroy an egregore,
should the need arise One of most important but little known
concepts of Western occultism is that of the egregore, an
autonomous psychic entity created by a collective group mind. An
egregore is sustained by belief, ritual, and sacrifice and relies
upon the devotion of a group of people, from a small coven to an
entire nation, for its existence. An egregore that receives enough
sustenance can take on a life of its own, becoming an independent
deity with powers its believers can use to further their own
spiritual advancement and material desires. Presenting the first
book devoted to the study of egregores, Mark Stavish examines the
history of egregores from ancient times to present day, with
detailed and documented examples, and explores how they are
created, sustained, directed, and destroyed. Stavish provides
instructions on how to identify egregores, free yourself from a
parasitic and destructive collective entity, and destroy an
egregore, should the need arise. Revealing how egregores form the
foundation of nearly all human interactions, the author shows how
egregores have moved into popular culture and media--underscoring
the importance of intense selectivity in the information we accept
and the ways we perceive the world and our place in it.
