Magical Groups
The modern occult revival has given rise to a resurgence in magical groups, ranging from the small local in-group to large international magical orders and organisations. For some years I have been interested in the dynamic interpersonal processes within magical groups, and indeed, have devoted a section of the New Falcon edition of Prime Chaos towards exploring various group dynamics issues. This section is devoted to essays related to the practicalities and theoretical perspectives relating to working in magical groups.
