Getting back into the craft....the RIGHT way!

Anything that advocates physical or emotional harm, would most likely be an inept process that should be reexamined.

Totally agree!

Pardon my ignorance, but how exactly does 'healing' work?

Pardon my ignorance, but how exactly does 'healing' work?

In my jurisdiction, it involves submitting a Petition for membership into a lodge, having an interview with the lodge's investigation committee, having the lodge cast their vote and if found favorable, being invited to take all 3 obligations in a legal & constituted lodge.

So it is just as if you were joining a lodge for the first time and this is the healing? Makes sense.

Not exactly....they just have to take the obligations not the whole degrees

Here, we don't have a healing ceremony - if you've been initiated irregularly or clandestinely, you go through the whole degree(s) again. However its really rare, only know of it happening twice in my time and never in a lodge I am a member of. It's always been for men from other Countries..

It's very common in the black community here as there are so many fake lodges
