Acceptance Letter

I received my acceptance letter the other day song with an informative pamphlet from the Camden, Ohio lodge #159. I'm super excited, my initiation is scheduled for May 4th. Is there anything in particular I should do to prepare?

Read all you wish, but please avoid anything that claims to describe what happens during the ritual. The first degree is called "initiation" because it has a significant emotional impact. Reading what claims to be a script destroys the surprise and turns the emotional impact almost completely off.

I will add to the chorus of don't go searching around for what you can find on the internet. Ultimately, the only person you are cheating is yourself. You would be cheating yourself out of the experience if you knew ahead of time what happens.

There is nothing you need to do to prepare other than asking your lodge what attire you should wear. It varies from lodge to lodge.

I apologize for the late reply. I am still am EA, and currently still studying for the next phase. I have had a lot going on with martial arts and work which has taken my time. Now that competition season is over, I've been studying like a mad man for the next degree. Thank you everyone thus far for the support ^-^

I kinda feel left out, I didn't receive an acceptance letter. I just received a phone call from my Grandfather saying to drive him to the next meeting and dress comfortably. :)
