The Nature Egregore and The City Egregore

Cain and Abel

Agriculture is the basis of the City. In the Cain and Abel story Cain's the farmer and Abel's the shepherd, which is possibly a hint that the story is a celestial myth based on Orion and Aquarius. (Cain seems to draw in all the Orion constellation myths. Farmer/Hunter/Blacksmith/etc. Ganymede [Aquarius] is a shepherd) Cain is cursed to till the soil fruitlessly and live in cities peopled with degenerates. (See the Sunman/Moonman posts)

The Enlightenment religious cults claim spiritual descent from Enoch (Hermes), hence Cain. Their quest is to displace the punishing god and break the curse through technical proficiency. (The project of modernity)

Western civilization is the great Egregore of the City. It arises from the book-keeping mind of man. In seeking to escape their punishment, the sons of Cain created this new god that we all now serve, and are enslaved to.

The natural world is already a great Egregore. The civilization Egregore is a sort of stumbling, bumbling, oafish destroyer. Agriculture might be the thing that cuts us off from the nature Egregore, from living within and as a part of that consciousness.
