Now, as I've got experience in two disiplines I thought you'd be interested
in what my synthesis of those disciplines comes up with in this situation is
that the group or individual brings into being a sphere (well not actually a
sphere,but it's the best word) of specific energies. This sphere in and of
itself creates a perimeter within which non-complimentary (not necessarily
antithetic, but that too) energies cannot manifest and from which they are
diverted. Slowly but surely I am arriving at a synthesis of Ceremonial Magic
and Shamanism in the hope that the result will be more accessible than either.
