The problem with ‘reenchantment’ is the “re” part i.e. the fact that it’s a LARP on top of not really believing in the stuff.

Fwiw I don’t have beef with the concept of egregores per se. I’m thinking about the spiritual/psychological level, which is to say that when people come in with a mindset of ‘reenchantment’ in a way that digs them deeper into despair about materialism, I hate it lol
