Chaos Magic Classification?
editWhy is this tied to just the chaos magic subject? The concept of an egregore has much wider scope P Todd (talk) 17:59, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
- I have determined that in the sense of a demon, this does fit there, but has a different sense in esotericism. I have created an Esotericism template and added this there also. Thiagovscoelho (talk) 16:07, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
- I agree. This article is too focused on the "Magical" aspect. This Egregore designate a known phenomenon that has had many names across cultures and has been studied in the scientific field. HyperSite (talk) 00:22, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
Meme Magick
editWe need a section relating egregore to Meme Magick. Meme Magick is mentioned on the Meme page. The connection of occult egregore and meme magick repeated in Dark Star Rising, Gary Lachman, with historical examples from Blavatsky, back through the centuries, adding considerable more depth to the contemporary egrepore usage LarryLACa (talk) 03:17, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
Major revision, 2023-06-22; archived outdated talk page comments
editI have made a major revision to the page, adding most of its current content. This makes most of the previous comments here outdated, so I have created a talk page archive for them. Thiagovscoelho (talk) 14:55, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
American Gods
editNeil Gaiman seems to use this concept to explain the gods in his novel American Gods. Don't know if he or a critic have explicitly said so. I know this is OR, but throwing the idea here in case anyone might substantiate it. 27.96.195.1 (talk) 07:16, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
- I found one book which made this connection, which was The Philosophy of Dark Paganism by Frater Tenebris. I added a section on it to the article and rearranged the sections to fit. Thiagovscoelho (talk) 12:52, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
Re-structuration of the Article, Encyclopedification, Sourcing and Neutrality
editThis page contains too many unsourced claims and is biased, it needs to be redone in a more professional and neutral way. HyperSite (talk) 00:32, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
