What is Egregore: Used by the Hermetic Order
This article examines the concept of the egregore as employed within the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and the Kabalistic Order of Rosicrucians, tracing its etymological origins to the Greek term for “wakeful” or “watching.” The text explores how practitioners understand egregores as autonomous thought-form entities that emerge from collective group consciousness and subsequently influence group members, while also noting connections to the Grigori or Watchers in Abrahamic angelology.
