>Why did people start 'convens' or 'secret groups' to begin with?
That was more of a 18th century onwards thing, people got really into Freemasonry and it's structure, then from that we got groups like the Golden Dawn. Before that there were very few groups, the Rosicrucians are one and we don't even know if they even existed, the most legit group i know of is the one that was just Henry Cornelius Agrippa and his friends who were i to the occult.

All magic can be done alone.
>There must be some benefit to numbers right.
Depends on what part of occultism you want to learn, when you start reading you can easily discern what's good and what's not in no time.
>but if I can find a forum on top of that, that would be optimal
Why not just ask on /omg/? They even got a large library of texts that are trustworthy.

Tell me what part of occultism you'd like to learn and i probably can direct you into the right path.

I guess I'll try that (you mean the omg thread right?)

Probably left hand path. I have an interest in alchemy but I think it's too early for me to delve into that.
