    Re: Initiation Question

    If you plan to fulfill a solitary path, then there is a self-initiation process that you can do yourself You basically cast a circle and call upon the deities of your primary pantheon. Meditate over it. DO what you believe is best for you. As with all other matters relating to religion, spirituality, and magick only you can know what is right for you. Go with the flow. See what you can come up with. Join Athena or another helpful deity in your astral temple and have a sort of question and answer session with said deity. They would be much more help than any one here. I promise you that much.

      The process of initiation occurs prior to the ceremony. Initiation is a construct that strips away the lies you have learned to trust and replaces them with new things to learn. The process challenges your physical, mental, and spiritual self to do things that you have no idea that you can do. The final question in the process tells more about what you have learned than any of the tests before it.

      When you join the military you go through boot camp - it is the military version of initiation. While self initiation is possible it would take more self denial and hard work than most people wish to experience.

        IMO: One can self-dedicate, but one cannot self-initiate. By definition, initiation (in this context) is something that is done TO you as a method of bringing you into a group.
