All are brothers and
sisters, for this reason; that even the High
Priestess must submit
to the scourge.
The only exception to
the rule that a man only be initiated by a woman
and a woman by a man,
is that a mother may initiate her daughter and a
father his son, because
they are part of themselves.
A woman may impersonate
either the God or the Goddess, but a man may
only impersonate the
God.
Ever remember, if tempted
to admit or boast of belonging to the cult,
you may be endangering
your brothers and sisters. For though now the
fires of persecution
have died down, who knows when they may be revived
? Many priests have
knowledge of our secrets and they full well know
that much religious
bigotry has died down or calmed down, that many
people would wish to
join our cult if the truth were known of its joys
and the churches would
lose power. So if we take many recruits we may
loose the fires of
persecution against us again. So ever keep the
secrets.
Those taking part in
a rite must know exactly what results they wish to
attain and must keep
all their minds firmly fixed on the desired
result, without wavering.
