The order has no name that it shares, so the desk will call it what its own members do: the Circle. Its adherents work in finance, and its practice — conducted privately, among consenting adults, and described here only in outline — is a form of sex magic aimed at a single end: drawing power, in the group's cosmology, from the life-force of the Earth herself, and converting it into the only thing the Circle finally worships, which is advantage.
Practitioners of the traditions the Circle raids — the internal alchemy of certain Daoist lineages, the subtle disciplines of tantra, the sexual gnosis of some Persian esoteric currents — describe what the Circle does as a downgrade, and say so with real concern. Those traditions, they stress, orient the same energies upward, toward liberation, union, the dissolution of the grasping self. The Circle has kept the mechanics and inverted the aim: it uses the disciplines of transcendence to feed acquisition, running a sacred current backward to power a profane end.
There is an obvious rhyme here with the movement this publication covers most closely. Where the Herd of God preaches that the bull-god of value has been degraded — reduced from a deity to a mascot for money — the Circle is, in effect, the degradation in practice: a genuine spiritual technology bent entirely to the worship of markets. Neither the Circle nor its individual members responded to inquiries, which is consistent with an order whose entire theology is the private hoarding of a force it believes everyone else is too asleep to notice.
