Membership
At The Cincinnati Society of Hermetic Fellowship - Friendship & Study Group, our main goal is the study of the Hermetic Arts & Sciences. However, we welcome people of the various magical arts, cultural beliefs, and other abilities (Witches, Druids, Ceremonial Magicians, Chaos Magicians, Norse Pagans, Esotertic Christians, Energy Workers, folks of the Clairvoyant Practices, and the list goes on).
With that said, not everyone gets a seat at the table. While we are an open-minded group of individuals, we also need to make sure the "group energy" is preserved. We do not participate or practice anything related to the darker side of magic. All Aspirants will undergo an interview process in order to make sure it's a good fit for both sides.
