Now that you have been brought into the Brotherhood, we may proceed with more detailed teachings relating to the first degree. Everything that follows in these lessons, like the First Degree Book of Mysteries, is oath-bound and exclusive to Grove members. It may not be shared with anyone outside the Grove without the consent of the Minos.
What Happens Now?
The rite of initiation is but the beginning of a process. It is an embarkation. It is akin to lighting a beacon visible across the worlds announcing the arrival of a new brother. The Minos enact the formula to align the tumblers in the correct combination to open the lock.
What should one expect next? You will likely notice subtle shifts. The real initiatory process follows the actual ritual. The universe itself is an initiator.
Practice is key.
What follows is additional in-depth training in specific areas. Of course, the teachings are myriad, and you are encouraged to ask your Minos questions if they arise and to suggest explorations based on your personal interest.
