Here's a little ritual refresher lesson for everyone still reading:
If your national organization does not permit members to write down all or part of your ritual(s), then don't write it down. If your national organization does not permit individual members to have a copy of all or part your ritual(s), then you as an individual member don't get to have a copy. If you're an initiated member, take advantage of every chance you can get to experience your ritual(s). Read them, fully participate, learn the what's and the why's about your GLO's beliefs and teachings.
Honestly, I don't care where you have it locked away, because if you are my sister I'd ask you to destroy it. It's not cool to have it. It's disrespectful, especially if
"it's not officially sanctioned by national HQ." Even if I'm not your sister, I'm still going to ask you to destroy whatever ritualistic information you may have in your possession. Sure, it may be locked away and secure now, but what about the future? There are reasons why rituals aren't written. There are also reasons why most rituals can only be witnessed by initiates. Respect these reasons and respect your sisterhood (or brotherhood).
