Looks like OP learned a valuable lesson in mundand ambition and interests.
I'll explain it to you and why this happens. Firstly, you know the freemasons. Have you ever seen an ad or campaign that markets to any new members for their cult? I follow the freemason group on Facebook and of all their posts they've put up, 3 has been pictures of advertisement outside on a bus stop or ads on Facebook itself.
However if you go to any local country's freemason page, you'll find good information about their activity. Mormones go on missions and meet people to disprove the bad reputation of the group. Jehovas Witnesses knocks on doors and hand out fliers.
When it comes to personal development, new age, yoga, chigong, meditation groups and anything that can't be backed by science; people need to find it themselves in order to spark interest and ambition from the divine within. No one told me about /fringe/ or freedomboard, I found it by browsing /x/ for 3 years. The people I've met to discuss magick I've found by my own will and intention.
Now the problem with generation X, Y, Z and soon the next is that they've grown up with Internet. They are used to instant gratification of their intention and can google anything any time they want. So when they hear about energy work or astral entities they can google it and find a chat room or forum discussing it instantly. But with most newfigs, they don't start by lurking and reading stickied threads (Am I the only one that does this?), they instead make a new thread or demand that others will answer their questions instantly. And when they don't get their instant answers they get cocky and act like children that can't have what they want.
>Buhu magick isn't real.
>If you can't tell me what I want to hear you are not a guru.
>I came here to find answers and no one will give it to me, what a load of pricks.
In conclusion: advertise then sit and wait like if you were fishing. Make a meditation group and put up fliers and have it at school or a public place. Advertise for a skype group or an IRC chat room. Make it a bit mystic.
