There is no charge for Initiation, however, candidates must have completed Adept I and all pre-requisites to Adept I.
We Initiate in order to elevate the consciousness of the Individual; to allow them to connect with the magical current (also called power) and the beings of the Hierarchy of Light that flows behind the current. Initiation provides ten times the energy, contact with G-D and the Hierarchy of Light and confers protection that is impenetrable to the "forces of chaos" as long as the Initiation is intact.
Initiation makes things easier; the Light flows better, with more clarity. When we become an Initiate we may feel that the powers that we have been drawing upon have in some way altered and become more physical and stronger. After an Initiation we have physical connection with the powers of the Universe and the magical current the school is sourced from, and thus we can more easily draw the powers of heaven.
Now for those who draw mainly upon the powers of Earth in Shamanism, Initiation provides the sense that power has become more celestial and clearer for use, and the energy is more available to us at any time. In Ritual, the energy an Initiate works with is enhanced ten fold, and the four elements and the four directions give us much more support than before.
For those of us who work with the Light in many different fields such as Reiki, the Healing Arts, Crystal Healing, Channeling, Psychic Work, Ritual Magic, Wicca, Astrology, Alchemy, Martial Arts, Yoga and many other forms of spiritual work, the need to be "validated" or certified by an authorized source is helpful. Initiation through a Mystery School offers this certification as a Healer, Metaphysical Teacher, and Activator.
The initiation process is in three steps:
| 1. Initiation to Adepthood | The seeker learns | Adept - 1ST DEGREE |
| 2. Initiation to Service | The seeker teaches | Teacher - 2ND DEGREE |
| 3. Initiation to Light | The seeker works with God | Guide - 3RD DEGREE |
The fourth and final initiation is made after we leave this physical state of being, and continue our journey into eternity. This process is what brings us back to our original state of being, and makes us Gods again. We all have this knowledge within us, but we have been imprinted with a veil that makes us forget. This is why we so often get an "Ah-Ha Experience" when we are doing spiritual work and seeking the knowledge that we already have. As teachers of the Spiritual Mystery Schools, we frequently say to our students: "We are not teachers, and you are not students; we are reminders, and you are remembering."
