This particular group has worked together for the last 3 years, with the occassional ebb and flow of membership and attendence. The tradition that iniates the supporting temple (WCC) has been around for 25 years or so which can apply a kind of consistancy as well. In every circle I've attended at least 75 % of those participating have worked with each other weekly and are friends, with the other 25 % being either absent or infrequent members, guests or new people coming in around the sabbats and such. But for the most part they HAVE gotten used to each other and actively try to reach beyond the normal state. As a student of psychology and bio-energy its fascinating watching and experiencing. I think the group energy is significantly different from a single practioner or couple ... that and the mental machanics might be different. |
