I’ll stick with Satan and the many lovely demons :smiling_imp:

I didn’t listen to the entire interview, but this author wrote a book about egregores – the definition starts where I’ve shared it.

I could’ve sworn it was egregore, but now I’m starting to think that I dreamed up the whole wall of text. :rofl:

haha it’s possible it was egregore! I have recently been talking about servitors, mainly in the catch-up challenge here. I’m sure I’ve talked about egregores before though, too - I’m gonna go on a hunt for the post :laughing:


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

We have all experienced egregores without being aware of it. Ever been in an empty church or library and felt the need to whisper? That’s an egregore. Ghost hunters come across them in jails and insane asylums. Sensitive History tourists may become aware of things in museums, and they can come through to affect the emotions when watching emotionally charged movies on historical subjects…

Summary

ie. Titanic, 9/11, Auschwitz, Sobibor, Treblinka, etc. If you pay attention, there is a different feel to the movie Towering Inferno than the real life 9/11/1, though the subject matter is similar enough that the movie was avoided for nearly 20 years after the incident.

Egregores can help survivors find closure or believers find like minds. Those who didn’t experience the event can be helped to find truth by an egregore, if they are sensitive to it. Deep forests, sacred sites, and ancient ruins all hold egregores, sometimes for centuries- or in the case of Stonehenge- eons.

As to your question about the connection with runes… So many people have used the tool that there is a form of guidance built in.

That’s alot of energy, some sources date the runes back over 4000 years!

This was interesting, thankyou for finding this. I think she (Menshikova ) is referring to a mixture of the Classical egregore as in real breathing entities like Watchers, deities etc together with organisational egregore but not so much the first type of human created egregore. I do also like his point that as spirituality degrades, as it becomes politicized, we, if we want to keep our spirituality need to chose our associates wisely. It’s b/w photo cover, what year is this?, because if it’s old, it’s incredibly up-to-date. :flushed::grin:

The book was published in 2018 so it’s not old. I think that’s just the aesthetic of the channel that did the interview :woman_shrugging: :laughing:

When I read this I thought of the book Odds and Gods by Tom Holt. He writes about the immortal gods who don’t have power because people had stopped worshipping/believing in them. It’s an entertaining read.

So rather than a ghost they may be sensing an egregore? How can you tell the difference in these situations?

This takes practice. If you are an empath, it may be harder because you feel what the ghost was going through, but normally, a ghost cannot make you feel anything the way an egregor can.

Talking with a ghost is like hanging with a friend. An egregore is more like feeling an environment that senses you back. It’s difficult to explain.

Have you ever been someplace high or bigger than you are used to? It is a different sensation than walking into your living room from a hallway, right? The feeling of fear comes from within you. Ignore that. Just sense the space. Now, imagine that space can sense you back, and you get the beginnings of an egregore. Fill that with emotion, and it begins to feel like the hairs on the back of your neck want to stand up, like lightening about to strike. That’s all electrical charge, but emotions are electrically charged. You don’t react to it, yet. An egregor then takes on a personality…

Sigh. I’m trying to explain it as though speaking to someone who has never traveled. It’s tricky.

I could tell you it’s like standing at the rim of the Grand Canyon or Lovers’ Leap. You feel height and wide open spaces, but you don’t feel prompted to act. An egregore is that which prompts people to jump for no apparent reason.

You know when you walk into a room when two people have been fighting? You were having a good day, happy, but now you feel heavy. That’s empathy. Imagine that heaviness forcing you to react in anger or tears for no apparent reason. That’s an egregor.

Is this helping at all? I’m sorry I’m not more succinct. There are such fine details that it’s hard to put it into words.

I just had the strangest coincidence, I’m currently watching the show Tru Blood :drop_of_blood: its about humans and vampires coexisting together and currently the Vampires and humans are trying to kill a Maenad which is a female follower of the Greeks Dionysus and when the vampire goes to explain how the Maenad came to be she said “ Never underestimate the power of blind faith it can manifest itself in ways that bend the laws of physics or break them entirely.” And that reminded me of this topic very interesting the parallels :face_with_monocle: :rainbow_heart:
