This is a real social network named after a fictional semi-secret organization I made up for my stories. The Origen Consortium is a conglomerate entity dedicated both to searching out the truth and spreading it, while at the same time keeping it out of the hands of those who aren't capable of handling it, understanding it, or using it responsibly or sanely...a mission that requires extraordinary and superhuman talents to be involved, as well as a great deal of confidentiality.

The Alexandrian theologian Origen, after whom the Consortium is named, held that there were multiple levels of interpretation and understanding possible in religious scriptures and teachings, but that most people were only capable of grasping the literal or the moralistic meanings -- the lowest two levels -- and that they both couldn't and shouldn't be pressured to understand more than they were able. Which creates a dilemma, in practice, for all those who try to share their insights and knowledge with others but can't share everything they know as they themselves know it, or even close to that.

So this is a place where we don't have to worry so much about that gap of communication, seeing as it's not a general otherkin, pagan/magical, spiritual or even sociopolitical network. Anyone who's invited here is someone who can understand and discuss things on the higher levels, keep a clear head, and not be carried away with their own ideology, anti-ideology or grandiose/flaky claims. Which is a complex way of saying, "We can actually talk about things that matter without hecklers and fluffbunnies butting in."

So, here's for some unrepressed consorting and good company.
