    Not true, I value and bother people with semantics as well ;) But I find a well ment opinion at least as interesting and often just as significant :)

    edit: if I reread i think we are saying the same thing?

    It's called grandiosity. Grandeur is found in the miraculous.

    What is the difference between religion cults and culture at large? They are all based on venerated ideas and taboos.

    Why do you think magic is limited to cults? Rituals for example aren't limited to cults.

    Why do you ask?

    A particular symbol may be taken to represent any phenomena whatsoever. There is nothing special about a particular symbol. The eye does seek proportion however so some shapes are more attractive than others. Form itself is contracted from negative or background space.

    No the original sigils are special, as theyve already created the path for specific beings to enter through, having being summoned numerous times through it.

    hi, omg I'm so bored..

    So, what's the difference between a club, a cult and a private ("secret") society?

    Not just anybody can be a freemason. There's a Masonic lodge right in my neighborhood but I'm not a member there. I sometimes think I should try though, heh.

    Yep. You're first response got this question exactly right--- from what I learned in my college courses on religions vs cults... it's all size that determines cult, sect, religion, etc.
