A SELF-PACED PROGRAM OF LESSONS IN PREPARATION FOR INITIATION INTO THE THIRD RITE OF THE LYCIAN TRADITION
Section 3. Second Level Initiate.
(This section is begun after passing an examination of the material in Section 2.)
|
a. Initiate the brother or sister into the Second Rite" as delineated by The Lycian Sanctuary. b. Memorize the second initiation; a copy of which will be given to you after your initiation ceremony. c. Write a dramatic ritual to celebrate one of the Feasts so that it is original and yet true to the Wheel. d. Write and enact a dramatic solo ritual whose subject matter deals with one of the "mysteries" of life e.g. birth, death, compassion, fear, parenthood, dreams, etc. e. Select a healing art in which to become proficient. This skill must be one in which the results can be proven and/or verified, not subjective. e.g. hypnosis, herbology, massage, midwifery, etc. f. Study the "Four Kingdoms" and the deities associated with these kingdoms; understand the underlying forms and relate them to the Tarot cards. Write a paper explaining this system in your own words as completely as possible. g. Test the initiate for competence by having him or her demonstrate, without any outside help, the Second Initiation and then give an open lecture on the "Four Kingdoms of the Deities." ( If a coven is available, then this should take place before as many of the membership, that are second or third level initiates, as possible.) |
