Whoa. How did I miss this? My goodness.

I wouldn't be happy if someone had a copy of my ritual. But I'd take comfort in the fact that just reading it doesn't mean you "know" it (most of it cannot be understood by reading anyway). It has to be experienced for anyone to ever truly understand it.

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.
