Performing ritual as a
group adds several dimensions to the magick being performed. Not only does the
original goal of the ritual become clearer for the individual, but the magick
changes the group as a whole. If the purpose of magick is to connect with a
universal consciousness, and alter that consciousness through the creation of
meaning, then practicing magick as an individual will only get you so far.
Other perspectives on the universal consciousness will only enhance that
connection. Concepts that only have meaning for an individual are limited in
their ability to make change. Creating meaning for an entire tribe promulgates
those concepts and makes them something you can interact with. Once the myth
and stories you create are launched into the world through others, they can
continuously expand, as others add to and modify your art. What we make real
for each other has no bounds.
