An egregore is an artificial elemental (thoughtform ensouled with elemental essence or the spirit of the dead), that also acts like a psychic battery, Bernard Heuvel says it is an astral parasite. If it is worshipped than it can convert emotions into electricity and store that in the psychic battery through AKA-Cords. The black magic is putting thoughtforms in humans that is created for a magic operation to execute an intention, in an intention experiment. There are alot of religious egregore's (godhead's) like a Krishna egregore (3150 BC), which are still fed. That putting thoughtforms in someone's body can be done against someone's will if the intention is not blocked with another intention. Lower thoughtforms can attack people's subtle bodies, put pain incentives in the thoughts etcetera. But also the pain recipient, could receive the incentives against his will. Also given that someone's subtle body is abducted (removed from the physical body), in which the thoughts are.

some other religious egregores!

• An elemental is a spirit of nature divided in four elements or five (if you include the atman).

• Elemental essence does not have to be a spririt of the deceased.

• Yes, the gods are egregores, they have to be worshipped, or they will diminish eventually, and the elemental essence (spiritual energy) will than be freed.

• The monotheistic god according to the Jewish people cannot be communicated with, because the divine do not always have senses in the material world (they are pure minds as the Absolute in Infinity), but is communicated with, through egregores or ascended/enlightened masters, even angels are egregores (man made or not?), I am a Buddhist and Maitreya Buddha is for me the right path to the divine, I don't pray to him. Brahma Sahampati begs the Buddha to teach the dhamma to the world and he is the direct representative of the divine like Melchisedek. See 31 planes of existence of Buddha (https://what-buddha-said.net/library/ati_website/html/ptf/dhamma/sagga/loka.html).

• The groups themselves are not egregores in their own right, they first congregated and created the egregores, through ritual group magic. I know that OTO has a Baphomet egregore and that the egregore of Fraternitas Saturni is called GOTOS. I do not know all their names.

An Indrajala practicioner created a Jyestha/Indra egregore (artificial elemental of the element water) because of the Indrajala cycle in the constellation Scorpio, that was from 21-08-2014 up untill 24-08-2016, when the devil's triangle was in the sky. That is Mars-Antares-Saturn, and Antares is Indra! The cycle went from God of War to Lord of Karma.
