Re: re: TKN ritual

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

Sorry, I should have clarified. The fifteen minute reference was to LXA's first ritual. The one cole wrote.

I am very interested to see soem TKN ritualistic stuff. Would you be willign to share withthe proper authentications? Id lkike to incorporate it into our zetas ZAX sessions (closed of course, out of respect), I dotn think TKN gets enough mention, and they are a big part of our history. Please advise...
