Orgies

Orgies were associated with counterfeit Sabbaths and secret gatherings but not with the true adept's Sabbath. These events were gatherings marked by secretive nature and often involved activities that departed from the true religious or spiritual practices of adept practitioners. The term "Orgies" here likely refers to celebrations or rituals that mimicked the appearance of a Sabbath but were fundamentally different in their true intent and practice. This differentiation reveals the place of distinguishing between superficial appearances and genuine spiritual experiences, emphasizing the contrast between the counterfeit acts and the authentic religious observances of those considered adept practitioners.
