Veiled Secrets
Q: I've heard that initiation rites vary dramatically from one place to another. What’s yours?
It's not like the movies, is it?
A: Oh, nothing like what Hollywood sells, trust me. It was more about finding yourself in the dark than anything else...
and maybe a little dancing under the stars, if you catch my drift.
Q: Dancing? Sounds like a good time. But isn't there something a bit scary about it all?
Like, what if you trip over something... unexpected?
A: Scary? Sure. But it's more about confronting the unknown within yourself.
There's a freedom in that darkness, you know? And the ground feels solid after that.
Q: That's deep. Any advice for someone who's about to dive into this?
Like, how do you prepare?
A: Just breathe. And let go of all the expectations. It's all about you, the darkness, and maybe a few stars.
Oh, and avoid the carved stones. They're best left untouched.
