Gleamings from the Gold...hen there is my list.... <br /><br />Gleamings from the Golden Dawn: The top thirteen signs that a leader or esoteric group might be too rotten to bother with<br /><br /><br />To this I might now add<br /><br />The leader becomes obsessed with what others do in their groups and insists they tell everyone while at the same time refusing to explain any details of what THEY do. An obsession with what other people are doing is a sign that you are doing nothing yourself.<br /><br />The leader spends more time talking on the Internet and playing political games than they do focused on the daily running of their own group or writing about occultism for a public audience. Running a group properly takes time, and if you are staging a big political coup online you just don't have time to do that. A leader who does not write, or at least teach publicly is deeply suspect in the Aquarian Age of communication. It either means that they have nothing to teach, or are poor at training.<br /><br />When on a web group a leader spends more time on sales pitches for their order or attempting to set up straw man arguments about others rather than answering students' questions, If an occult leader uses sock puppets to give the impression that there are people who agree with them, they equally are not real magicians. Look at content of their answers... what are they really saying? Is it helpful or is is it waffle? <br /><br />A group leader confuses the fact that people hate him or her with persecution of the order. This over identification with self with the order is a sign of megalomania. If people think you are a cunt they think you are cunt... they don't think your group is a cunt. They are not persecuting your group, they are persecuting you -- live with it.<br /><br />People leave a web group rather than be in the presence of your leader. Just obviously a bad sign.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11198094991381684617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2594045886586038963.post-57385571309719018152014-02-10T23:09:10.939-07:002014-02-10T23:09:10.939-07:00Great article Morgan!

It costs a goodly amount to rent spaces, buy supplies for rituals, print grade material, yadayada,...but a good leadership would allow those things to be transparent to members, so they know your not using their fees to buy a new fishing rod set :-/ Anyway, party on. :-)Adam Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09007172745385898382noreply@blogger.com
