haha it’s possible it was egregore! I have recently been talking about servitors, mainly in the [catch-up challenge here](https://forum.spells8.com/t/weekly-witchy-challenge-catch-up-challenge-200/51788/66). I’m sure I’ve talked about egregores before though, too - I’m gonna go on a hunt for the post 😆

Edit: I found at least one place where I’ve spoken about egregores ❤

> > Egregore (also spelled egregor; from French égrégore, from Ancient Greek ἐγρήγορος, egrēgoros ‘wakeful’) is an occult concept representing a certain non-physical entity that arises from the collective thoughts of a distinct group of people. [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egregore)

> What this basically means is that if enough people believe in something and put enough energy behind it, that energy becomes the thoughtform representative of the thing believed in. In this case, if enough people believe Caffeina to be a deity of energy, stamina, and focus, all relating back to coffee and caffeine, then she exists and has been created as a thoughtform.
