TeaDidikai Starlock Flaw: many hands makes for social loafing thus less personal engagement and spiritual fulfillment There's ways to avoid social loafing, to be sure. Not so sure if many practicing covens actually use these methods to combat the group laziness phenomena though. It may be the nature of ecstatic ritual experience that social loafing isn't a big problem. From the experiences I've had though, this doesn't seem to be the case. xd I contest that there is less personal fulfillment in well practiced group ritual. Some people actually don't want to overexpend effort. "Social Loafing" is a good thing.
It can be a good thing, but it isn't always. I wasn't making the commentary under the assumption that it holds absolutely true in all cases, ya know. whee However, can you say that when doing group projects at school you don't get the least bit annoyed that you're hauling most of the work and everyone else is along for the ride and free "A" grade? Or perhaps you've not had that experience... (shrugs) and true, something like ritual is a bit different. Some don't mind taking charge and leading everything, but I've heard stories of groups whose leaders have gotten very frustrated and burned out because nobody else would volunteer to do any of the work (and then they'd complain they didn't like the ritual.. as if they have a right to complain when they're idle with respect to its design, eh?). It's sad to see a group fall apart because of something like social loafing... generally the Neopagan community appears to attract those who are responsible for their own spiritual path though, so I'm not sure how common this sort of thing actually is.

Yes. I can honestly say that actually.

I see. In which case I assert it is a lack of communication and not the nature of work division that is the issue.
