So true. When I was in college I babysat for a family on a fairly regular basis. They had a room they called the library, and I remember looking at the books once and stumbling across a ritual book (I was a pledge at the time). So I pulled it of the shelf and looked at it. And quite honestly, it didn't make alot of sense to me- I got the gist of it, but not the emotion or the mysticism or whatever you want to call it that it would have when it was actually happening.
Would I look at it if I had the chance now? Nope. Once I went through ritual I realized what it means and how imporant it is. Mine is enough for me, I don't need to know anyone else's.
