Initiation is the greatest mystery that opens the temple of the greatest mystery. It is not so much to be understood, but experienced. It is a key that is borne from other keys that opens a gate beyond the gates we can perceive.
Initiation is not a rational process, but we often seek to impose structure upon it. There is a tension between our need for an ordered process and the mysteries of the deeper world that we experience through our connection to Hekate. There are the spontaneous soul-bearing initiations where we truly learn the mysteries of Hekate, and then there are those that are a culmination of a period of study.
Initiation is the process through which you acknowledge your proficiency as a witch. It is evidence of a certain level of skill as a practitioner of Modern Hekatean Witchcraft. While you’ve acquired the knowledge necessary to become an initiate through the content of the course, you’ve also gained deep understanding of Hekate, witchcraft and yourself. The two combine to produce wisdom, the true gift of initiation. Initiation also infers a serious personal commitment to practicing Modern Hekatean Witchcraft.
