Egregores

This explores the history and influence of egregores, powerful autonomous psychic entities created by a collective group mind. Mark Stavish, the first to study egregores, examines their role in Western Mystery traditions, popular culture, and media. He provides detailed 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.
