Their primary purpose is to sell goods but there is a secrecy among them and they hate outside intrusion. They recruit people to sell their junk.
I know a woman I worked with in Cincinnati area (Mason, OH) was involved in one that specifically sold CANDLES - and Bree has a Candle-opera as well as a whole shrine of candles in front of her picture of Alexter Crowley. Apparently that's the hot item being sold by MLM'ers today, that along with the "Pampered Chef" cooking parties they throw.
One other thing I noticed - do you suppose that Alexter Crowley is the same person that Ozzie Osborne sings about in his mega-smash-hit, "Mr. Crowely"??? There is a line in it about scattering the Afterbirth, which is what they might have done at Bree's secret ceremony if she did indeed give birth to a demon-child, as many people in this forum have speculated. Look at the Lyrics to the Ozzie song:
Anyway, just figured I'd throw that out as another possibility...Mr. Crowley, what went on in your head
Mr. Crowley, did you talk with the dead
Your life style to me seemed so tragic
With the thrill of it all
You fooled all the people with magic
You waited on Satan's call
Mr. Charming, did you think you were pure
Mr. Alarming, in nocturnal rapport
Uncovering things that were sacred manifest on this Earth
Conceived in the eye of a secret
And they scattered the afterbirth
Mr. Crowley, won't you ride my white horse
Mr. Crowley, it's symbolic of course
Approaching a time that is classic
I hear maidens call
Approaching a time that is drastic
Standing with their backs to the wall
I wanna know what you meant
