re: TKN ritual
I have copies of TKN's rituals....their ritual was NOT a fifteen
minute affair...it was much longer.
However, most of it is very repetitive and boring, until the
end, where a sort of "play" is carried out.
The LXA Assoc. Ceremony is a condensation (MAJOR
condensation) of the ritual, though none of the "play"
(which is the most interesting part) is included.
Their ritual was rewritten about 1938, so that it could be
done by 3 initiated members (so many chapters didn't
have enough active members to even do the original!)
For many years, nationals frowned upon circulating the
ritual...probably for fear chapters would start using it,
perhaps as a pre-initiation event. But now I think they
don't care much whether or not members read it.
I believe, officially, it is no longer secret...though oddly
enough, it is more secret than LXA's just because so
few people have read it!
Hope this is informative
